Ujda Chaman has been doing pretty well at the box office and the critics have lauded the film with good reviews as well. The film revolves around a man under 30 years of age suffering from premature balding. The film has a very similar concept to the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Bala but still saw a good box office performance in the first week itself. The films stars Sunny Singh and Maanvi Gagroo in lead roles.
