YUVVRAAJ is interesting in parts
YUVVRAAJ is a notch above the commonplace. If you intend spending your hard-earned money on it or devoting 3 hours of your precious time on Ghai's new outing, chances are you won't regret it. The penultimate 20/25 minutes takes the film to an all-time high.
You would rather kill yourself than watch this!
Approximately three seconds before the much-needed 'Intermission' flashes on the screen during Yuvvraaj, an intoxicated Zayed Khan tells Salman over the phone, "It's over!" And that's when a voice from deep inside me cried, "I wish!"
Yuuvraaj, 20 years too late
Subhash Ghai's peculiarly spelt Yuvvraaj does quite the same thing as young Mr Yuvraj Singh, in the sense that it indeed sets six shots sailing past the boundary.
There is a crucial difference between the two: whereas Yuvraj dispatched Stuart Broad to the boundary successively, ball after ball packed into a high-intensity over, Subhash Ghai's film stretches it. A lot. Just picture a 50-over innings with six sixes. Not quite the same thing, no.
A grandoise film
The story hangs loosely in the middle and winds up in a mothballed climax, where old-fashioned baddies try to bump off the goofy Anil Kapoor who does an Eeshwar all over again. But Salman Khan and AR Rahman more than make up for the lapses.
Utterly brotherly undelicious
This film should never ever be your last one, Subhashji. You may not get roses and chocolates for this one... but here’s hoping and praying that you come back, re-charged for an entertainer that will match if not surpass Karz and Ram Lakhan. Yuvvraaj doesn’t. I end, still Ilu Ilu.
