A real episode, a heart-touching storyline, an ever-growing illness across the world, star-studded casting, author-backed roles and sensible treatment — Uma, that has all the ingredients of a hit film, is winning hearts. Speaking about the film’s success, Srijit said, “The emotional response to Uma has been so overwhelming that I’m moved. I have been visiting theatres, meeting people and reading reviews on social media — it’s all very heartening. People are saying it’s my best since Jaatishwar and I can’t thank audiences enough. A lot of reviews and responses are starting with ‘Very rarely have I cried in a cinema hall but this time I did.’ I am happy that the film, that has a huge heart, is ruling the hearts of everyone. Uma’s success is immensely satisfying for me and I’m very happy that my core audience has come back to me. May be they didn’t like my last couple of films as much but they have accepted Uma with open arms and that love is reflecting in the bumper opening weekend and the stupendous Monday and Tuesday. It’s already a hit and is now paving its way towards a blockbuster.”
