Detective Ujjwalan is a lighthearted whodunit that blends humour with mystery but struggles to leave a lasting impression. While the film has moments of entertainment and an engaging setting, it largely suffers from predictable storytelling, underdeveloped characters, and a lackluster central performance. The titular character lacks depth, and the narrative often fails to deliver the suspense or intrigue expected from a detective thriller. Though some viewers may appreciate its attempt to build a quirky cinematic universe and enjoy its comedic touches, the film’s overall execution is seen as middling. It’s passable for a casual weekend watch but doesn’t stand out in a crowded genre.
Verdict:
A mildly entertaining mystery comedy that lacks the sharp writing and strong performances needed to truly captivate. Watchable but forgettable.
