There have been mixed responses to Shakalaka Boom Boom.

However, there has been one man who has benefited from this film, Upen Patel.

This is the newcomer's third release and he has lived up to audience's expectations. Upen's film, Namastey London has recently been released, where his performance was appreciated.

However, the actor considers SLBB a bigger film. "SLBB is a bigger movie for me than Namastey London"

It seems the trade experts agree, as some feel Upen has the potential to become a successful actor in Hindi cinema.
