Gulshan Devaiah opens up on why Janhvi Kapoor starrer Ulajh did not work; ‘It’s possible that it did not appeal to people’

As an ardent fan who has followed Gulshan Devaiah‘s journey since his debut days, I must say that his recent comments on Ulajh’s poor performance at the box office have left me pondering. Much like the intricate plots he often takes up in his films, there are indeed factors that make a movie successful or not, and it seems Ulajh may have missed some of those elements.

In the initial release, the film titled “Ulajh,” starring Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah, struggled at the box office. Unfortunately, this suspenseful drama didn’t resonate with audiences who enjoy entertainment. Recently, in a new interview, Gulshan shared his thoughts on why Ulajh didn’t succeed, suggesting that some elements typically appealing to viewers may not have functioned as intended for this particular film.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Gulshan Devaiah expressed his puzzlement as to why the movie “Ulajh” featuring him and Janhvi Kapoor didn’t resonate with audiences. He went on to explain that he often ponders over the reasons he chooses to watch a film.

Gulshan spoke about appreciating just the initial segment of Deadpool, not the entire Deadpool and Wolverine duo, and expressed that there’s always something in those movies that leaves him feeling quite disturbed.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but get thrilled when movies starring Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, or Rajkummar Rao grace the silver screen. It’s not just about watching them; it’s about eagerly anticipating the magic they bring to each role.

As someone who has been a film enthusiast for many years, I have come to expect a certain level of quality from the films I watch. However, I have found that sometimes even my favorite production companies fall short of this expectation. This was the case with Ulajh, one of their recent releases.

In the city of Ulajh, we encounter Suhana Bhatia, who is now a Deputy High Commissioner at the Indian High Commission in London. This role was granted to her due to her lineage of devoted patriots, as she herself is an Indian Foreign Service Officer. However, her colleagues harbor resentment towards her because they believe she effortlessly secured such a prestigious position, perhaps influenced by her affluent family background.

Approximately three months later, she begins a romantic relationship with Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a renowned Michelin Star chef. Her personal and professional lives are thriving until an event arises that intertwines her private and professional spheres.
