Yuvvraaj - Notepad
Yuvvraaj
quick review:
Preachy lines about family bonding and brotherly love are doze-worthy especially considering you have almost 3-hours of time to squeeze a snooze in.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
Deven (Salman Khan) loves Anushka (Katrina Kaif), Anushka's dad (Boman Irani) hates Deven because he's not rich enough. Deven is skill-less and hates making money on his own. So on and so forth.
What Worked
- The style in which the name of the movie is written both in English and in Hindi. The musical note at the end of the 'y' adds to the grace, I think.
- The police officer's 'aah' after Salman Khan says - "he is a brother, Indian brother". Had such a hearty laugh. One of those laughs where you don't care if the joke was intentional or otherwise.
- Salman Khan dropping the gun while requesting Boman Irani to help him out.
What did not
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here
- The ramble in the beginning by the writer. What was the point? To establish characters? The lines were rather lame!
- Is a testimony by an autistic patient allowed in the court of Law?
- Salman Khan's sudden entries and exits to save Anil Kapoor.
- Genius disorder - they really call it that? Wow!
- Brotherly love expressed by bandaging a cut on the index finger. Nope! Not happening!! The mock applause from the entire audience proved it.
- Obviously, the part where Anil Kapoor sings a complete classical Indian song while he is having an asthama attack AND was poisoned...geez!

We better not expect much. Salman would overact in each and every scene, after all!
I had great expectations from Yuvraaj but I'm sorry the promos stink. The music IS in fact good and a couple of the songs had the potential to be timeless classics if promoted well. I saw a dialogue trailer the other day - Salman is speaking in his usual anglisized accent (but in vain) and Katrina is speaking with some other foreign twang. Beautful she may be but sorry she cant act for hoots. Ditto Zayed Khan. It will again be left to Anil Kapoor to deliver the acting honours but then how much he will salvage this sinking disaster remains to be seen.
Man! I was waiting for this.. lady.. you just saved me pain worth 130 bucks..!
shantanu you can spend money,its not as bad as meetu has written.yes,there are problems in script and excution,but its a watchable film.is family value a boring thing?this is indian film and you can find brothers going to jail for there brothers.india has changed for the worst in metros only.where everyone thinks about himself only.

You are right. It sucks !
chavanni, that's the exact kind of stereotype that I have a problem with. My family and I have been a city people throughout and I know many relatives who live in the interiors who aren't be as hospitable and as well-knit as our family.
Brother going to jail for another brother - yes it bores me, because it is so predictable, so cliched, so...blah!
To me if family values have to be preached to you through movies, there's something fundamentally wrong. Family values come from your family not from the Barjatyas and Ghais!
And that's what happens, Raj.
Jay, you hit the nail on its head!
Thanks for the review. Seriously, this whole family melodrama is getting too stereotyped and sluggishly boring. I gotta say, ur reviews are pretty unbiased and accurate..keep uo the good work.
Thanks, Ashwini! I surely will!
what else u can expect from subhash ghai.., how far could music save a movie? salman khan has proved again,,he is worst actor and most over rated star,,,and Zayed khan ask your dad what are u doing in film industry?
i guess what subhash ji,, mite be teaching in his "whistling woods"...where students get inspiration from disasters like trimurti,taal,yaadein,kissna,black and white, and now ,,,yuvvraj..ohh yess .he is the SHOWMAN .of bollywood,
I just watched this disaster.
Jay, please hit me on my head!
lol, Pintu, lol!
Great thanks for that I just saved me 9 bucks! :o)
Good for you, JM!

It is nice film. The characters are very touching. Anil Kapoor and salman khan rocks. Katrina kaif has done a fabulous job as an actress. Zayed khan is not so good. Music of the film is fantastic. i am sure, it will do better at the box-office.
