Yuva

An awesome movie, a refreshing change in Kannada film. Loved the entire cast. Yuva is great and looks just like his father. Ranav as a villain is a great to watch! Had loads of fun and lots of nostalgic dialogues in between was a treat to listen to. All in all its a great movie! Watch it in a theatre to really enjoy it! Hope this trend takes over the Kannada industry and we get to watch more movies like this! The director Santosh Anandram has done a very proper job in maintaining a balance between mass scenes and family emotion. A through a very edge of the seat entertainer. A powerful movie......

Yuva is a rebel student at an engineering college in Mangaluru. He is the leader to all the hostelites and stands against the local boys bullying. This leads to a massive clash, ending with Yuva and the local students getting suspended. Yuva also has a strained relationship with his father who has disowned him. As the clash with the localites intensifies, it is revealed that Yuva is also a budding wrestler who has been banned for 2 years over fake corruption charges. Things get serious when he visits his home in Bengaluru, only to find his father missing and family tormented by loan sharks. The hardships Yuva faces to protect his family and his attempt to search for his father while he too gets a second chance at wrestling, forms rest of the story.

Santhosh Ananddram has written an extremely dull story for the big launch of Yuva Rajkumar. The screenplay jumps from one subplot to another without any smooth flow. It starts off in Mangaluru and the college story doesn't really go anywhere with one fight scene leading to another with 2 songs inserted. The story moves to Bengaluru without giving any closure to the college issue and enters into a melodrama stage for most part of the second half. It doesn't help that Yuva has exactly one expression throughout and doesn't impress at all with his dialogue delivery. Only plus for him is the fight scenes whereas he dances well but gets a forgettable music album for his debut. It was painful to listen to him mouth famous Appu dialogue from Jackie. In the end there is an Appu tribute song too, otherwise Yuva is an extremely forgettable film which only tests the patience of it's viewers. Yuva Rajkumar deserved a better launch vehicle and needs to be more selective with his script while working on his acting skills, if he intends to have a longer career.

The movie felt like a mishmash of too many elements, resulting in a messy and lackluster screenplay. While Yuva Rajkumar showed promise in fight sequences and dance numbers, it wasn't enough to salvage the film.

The love story followed predictable patterns, typical of Ananddram's work, and Saptami Gowda's character lacked depth, with her performance falling short of expectations. The dialogue felt contrived with an abundance of cheesy one-liners - of course meant for the Rajvamsha fans. While the protagonist's hot-headed nature is understandable, it shouldn't result in a "Single expression" throughout the film. The movie failed to capture the authenticity of middle-class life, Unnecessary fight scenes and forced Mangalorean slang further detracted from the overall experience. It's disappointing to see such potential go untapped in Yuva Rajkumar's debut.

Despite its flaws, Yuva Rajkumar shows potential and could shine with improvements in expressions and natural acting. Ultimately, "Yuva" is a mediocre commercial film, only worth watching for its dance sequences and action scenes.

How long are we going to make films like this? You think we doing a favour to our language by making films catering to PRK fans? If you really want to honour Puneeth Rajkumar make a film catering to global audience.

This is absolutely disgusting to have lured a young actor into the traps of industry low standards for the sake of turning him into a star his uncle was. What about the kannada cinema then? Do you have any respect for it Mr Santosh?

Wake up Karnataka! We need to stop supporting movies like this for our own good. I understand everyone missing Puneeth Rajkumar but this is absolutely killing of a talent like Yuva if he was meant to be one.

Yuva Raj Kumar has acted very well in the movie. He has performed par in stunts and dance which reminds us of Puneeth Rajkumar. We needed such a first movie from the third generation of Dr. Rajkumar.

The movie reminds us of Puneeth through out at times and also at the ending credits. There are two songs dedicated for the Hero which will be remembered in the mouths by public for longtime. One is 'Obba Shiva, Obba Yuva', another is 'Yuvaraja'.

Sapthami role is less in the movie. Achyuth Kumar has acted brilliantly, so is Kishore and Gopalkrishna Deshpande. Don't miss this movie if you are a fan of Dr. Rajkumar family or want to see another well set hero from the family.
