She manages to escape and contacts Tommy for help, who agrees to help her in exchange for the heroin.
Preet Sahani (Kareena Kapoor Khan) is a doctor and activist who runs a rehabilitation clinic for drug addicts.

Production
The idea of Udta Punjab originated from Abhishek Chaubey's visit to Punjab in 2013, where he witnessed the widespread drug problem among the youth. He discussed the idea with Sudip Sharma, who co-wrote the screenplay with him. The film was initially titled "Udta Mumbai", but was later changed to "Udta Punjab" to reflect the reality of the state.
The film was shot in various locations in Punjab, such as Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Tarn Taran and Ferozepur. Some scenes were also shot in Mumbai and Delhi. The film's budget was estimated to be 34 crore (US$4.3 million).
The film's music was composed by Amit Trivedi, who collaborated with Chaubey for the third time after Dev.D and Ishqiya. The film's soundtrack consists of seven songs, which were released on May 18, 2016. The film's background score was composed by Benedict Taylor and Naren Chandavarkar.
Controversy
The film faced a major controversy with the CBFC, which demanded 89 cuts in the film, including the removal of references to Punjab, politics and drugs. The CBFC also asked the filmmakers to change the title of the film to "Udta". The filmmakers appealed to the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT), which upheld the CBFC's decision. The filmmakers then moved to the Bombay High Court, which cleared the film for release with only one cut, that of a scene where Tommy urinates on a crowd. The court also criticized the CBFC for acting like a "grandmother" and interfering with the creative freedom of the filmmakers.
Release
The film was released worldwide on June 17, 2016. The film received an A certificate from the CBFC, which means that only adults above 18 years of age can watch the film. The film was also released in Pakistan with minor cuts.
