Story: Chaman Kohli, a 30-year-old college lecturer is plagued by problems arising from his receding hairline, as he often finds himself as the butt of insensitive jokes. His family wants to hook him up with an eligible girl, but he’s always rejected owing to his looks. So, will he able to find love finally?

‘Ujda Chaman’ is the official remake of the 2017 Kannada film, ‘Ondu Motteya Kathe’. While the first half of the film tries to be quirky and comic, the ‘very loud Delhi family’ humour and the even louder background score are a sore point. In fact, the background score ensures that there is no scope for subtlety or gentle humour. And the first part hammers the ridicule of a bald person scene after scene to the point of exhaustion. In the second half, the film mostly plays out as a drama and perhaps, redeems itself to a certain extent here by bringing in the message of accepting people for who they are.
