Ulajh movie review
A spy thriller, Ulajh focuses on the glorious achievements of a IFS lady officer who is entangled in a crafted conspiracy that could end up finishing her career, her father's elevation to the topmost foreign diplomat and a face-saving embarrassment for India.

Is that the end? No. Pyaari had unending desires for herself. Though Pyaari had suffered marriage break-up twice, the third time she found the right man who respected her, cared and loved her, yet ....
