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)

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.
