Wow! what was that!! this will come out from you once u watched this movie.Mani Ratnam has made a movie which will be a favorite for me 4evr!His control on the direction is simply superb and he has explored the true n real characters out of his star-cast.But my best character is Lallan played by Abhishek(hottest star in bollywood!).Perfect to bring out the brutal and wild shades in a negative role and its only after this role, he has got recognized by evry1.Kareena as the love interest of Arjun is looking too hot and her secret lies in her hair-style! (ok, i'm getting biased but i truly like her skin!)Another best part about this movie was its music.AR Rehman has done wonders in giving trance cum more hip music specially for the young listeners.The movie didn't do well in the box office as they just didn't publicized it well.Sad but true.Another sad part was the role played by Vivek as Arjun. From start till the end, he has got beaten up all the time!Any how,Yuva is one of the best Indian movies that I can proudly recommend it to any1. The linking of 3 diff parallel running stories at the end is the best part of this movie.Ratnam is agn doing a movie with Abhishek named 'Guru' and people who have seen the promos, r going gaga abt it!

Yuva is a great comeback for Maniratnam as a Hindi film director after the unsuccessful Dil Se. His earlier regional language films like Velu Nayakan, Anjali, Roja, Bombay, Iruvar and many more have been highly successful all over India. Yuva is a thrilling story of three young guns of Calcutta whose stories get connected by a road mishap. The film is based upon college. Ajay Devgan (two time National Award winner) has given a fantastic performance as a college leader along with Vivek Oberoi. The actors are aptly casted and the film is technically very good. Cinematography is just out of this world. But the limelight is stolen by Abhishek Bachchan who has given the performance of a lifetime. His role of a street-side malefactor will surely win him awards. HATS OFF TO YUVA & MANIRATNAM!!!

I agree to kaushik dave up to some extent that it bears a resemblance with Amores Perros but at one point only and it is that there are three different stories meeting at one point but that is the end.

What impresses me more about this movie is the true depiction of youth's mind (sp. in Pakistan, India and other third world countries). Today's youth is matured but confused, helping but selfish for themselves and above all sentimental yet insensitive. Like Arjun, on the face he is loving, caring and always wants to be with family but inside wants to go to US for good career. Same is true for Lallan, very selfish thinks only for himself and nothing else. But the true high point of the movie is Michael Thinking and approach towards things. He is the one driving force for others.

As per direction, Mani Ratman's movie is always special for its visual feat and that is also true for this movie. And above all AR Rehman Music is true to the story.

To be honest, I was a bit let down when I read the reviews on the net from all the possible sites on net. I am great admirer of Mani Rathnam and his style, which is unique by itself - a great master in story-telling. With great reluctance I mustered up my courage to watch the movie - at least for Mani Rathnam's sake (and A R Rahman's songs). All the negative reviews in a way did a good thing - it lowered my expectations. And I did like the movie.

For reason unknown, looks like all the movie critics have joined hands and decided to have a go at Yuva. A lot has been criticised about the movie and to such an extent that Mani had to call for a press conference to ward off the negative publicity the movie was attracting owing to the film critics. From the promos and the songs, the audience were not expecting a movie on politics. Guess that added fuel to the fire.

The story is good - conveys a social message to the youth and its place in the society. Story telling format is quite intelligent - I mean in three independent chapters you will see bits and pieces of other chapters and you say "oh.... it makes sense and explains that bit from earlier chapter".

Abhishek-Rani track steal the show. Great performance from the two.

Vivek-Kareena track is sweet. Okay its not Karan Johar, Sooraj Barjatya or Ghai or Rai types but sensible. We need more of these. Vivek-Anant Nag relationship is portrayed well. Ajay-Eesha track is okay. Eesha should join acting classes.

Om Puri - first class. Vijay Raaz - should have been given more scope.

Its the fault of Indian audience as well who haven't matured yet and seek the same thrash every time. It strongly denotes that every Bollywood film should adhere to the formula or else face the wrath. I mean - seriously how many people have watched 3-Deewarien and Maqbool. I am tired of the positive and 5-star reviews given to movies of Johar's, Barjatya's, Chopra's, Ghai's and Dhawan's for their same old formula stuff.

Believe me folks, as other reviews state here, I reiterate - forget the critics reviews, watch the movie with a open mind and you will not be disappointed.

Anurag Kashyap did a awesome job. Dialogue were tremendous. I would say Abhishek bachchan's best acting. Ajay is awesome in high performance. All female actress we're good.

Sonu sood did a good job.

Okay so when the music of this movie came out, I was hopping around in hopes that Mani Ratnam will finally be successful in the Hindi film industry. But of course the film released and tanked at the box office. I was quite depressed afterward and unsure of whether to watch the film, but recently, upon a friend's recommendation, I rented it. After watching it, all I have to say is that box office says absolutely nothing about the merit of a movie (I'm sure a lot of people knew that already). Bottom line: YUVA is awesome.

Sure it isn't perfect, and not near most of Ratnam's tamil movies, but it is definitely worth watching. The story is about 3 young men who come from vastly different backgrounds and schools of thought. One incident on a bridge brings them together, changing their fates forever.

Abhishek Bachchan is definitely come into his own with this role. His "Lallan" is both menacing and pitiable (like the song Kabhi Neem Neem, Kabhi Shahed Shahed aptly describes). Its quite unreal how he gets into the skin of his character. He not only picked up the mannerisms but managed to capture the volatility, anger and ambition that defines Lallan. Rani Mukherji has really become my favorite actress these days. Her performance as Shashi (Lallan's wife) really compliments Bachchan's and together they make their story the most interesting and compelling aspect of the movie.

Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi are decent and do their jobs. Its not really their fault that Bachchan got the strongest part. Esha Deol and Kareena Kapoor don't have roles big enough to impact the movie in any way. Ajay's story as a student leader is good but might have been better. Its not super powerful but at the same time, that aspect makes the story a lot more real. Ajay's "Michael Mukherjee" doesn't overdue the preaching and the patriotism, he simply believes that his country can do better and he wants to lend a hand. Vivek Oberoi's Arjun is a simple soul until he crosses paths with Michael. Arjun's transformation from a carefree youth to someone finding a cause is not particularly powerful and could have been expanded a little. But again, this only makes it a little more real. Nobody makes that transformation overnight. Sure he found a purpose, but he's not immediately going to become the second coming of Michael Mukherjee. The scene where he quietly volunteers to stand elections with Michael is very subtle but made me think of how other directors might have dealt with that situation. You would get Arjun shouting patriotic verse at the top of his lungs with tears in his eyes. Just a tad unrealistic.

I wholeheartedly recommend this film to everyone not only because its worth your time but also so we somehow send a message to Ratnam not to get discouraged. Please continue to tell your stories (in Hindi). We are listening.

What else would you call a movie that has a little bit for everyone -- Yuva is an entertainer first -- of course it has a lot of firsts as well..the structure, for example, is something that is unique...all the 3 story lines start on Howrah bridge and how the director comes back to the Howrah bridge accident to take of to one of the 3 stories is poetic.. Songs add lustre to this painting and is very inherent to the flow. Anurag's dialogues are a huge plus -- I loved Om Puri's Bengali dialogues --"paranthu lekin" As far as the cast goes -- Ajay did really well as did Abhishek -- Among the ladies, I loved Esha. The Tamil version was not as engrossing as the Hindi version was, and I think that was primarily because of the cast. Mani is Mani...awesome movie.

Yuva is a surprisingly good movie, well underrated. It has a unique script for a change, telling three different stories combining in one. Three different characters, how they meet and what happens after they meet. It starts of with the first character Abishek Bachchan. Abishek is a small time goon, trying to make big bucks. He loves his wife Rani, but also beats her up. Character Two is Ajay Devgan, a student trying to tackle the corrupt politicians with a new organisation. Ajay is dating french teaching teacher Esha Deol. Character Three is Vivek Oberoi, a youth who's trying to make a career. He is in love with Kareena. The movie has some great moments, with good action scenes. Abishek Bachchan delivers a Brilliant performance, in one of his greatest award winning roles, that took him to stardom. Rani Mukherjee is sweet and Superb as usual, in a powerful performance sweeping the awards. Ajay Devgan delivers a usual good performance once again. Esha Deol looks a little prettier, in a decent role. Vivek gives a impressive performance. Kareena gives an annoying performance, with enough make up, she doesn't look pretty in this movie at all. This is a worth watching movie.

The main reasons to watch this film are Mani Ratnam, A.R.Rahman, and Abishek Bachan.

There is not much of a story but the screenplay is awesome. The way Mani shows the three men from different walks of life meet on a bridge three times and their flashbacks is refreshingly new.

I think it should have been publicized well before they released this film. It deserved a hit.

I have also seen the Telugu version, in which Madhavan's performance is outstanding.

All in all, a new cinematic experience.

Epic performances by Abhishek and Ajay devgan in the movie , though the movie was a flop but I really enjoyed the movie !

An excellent movie. Though Ratnam makes this story a little unbelievable in the end. You do not really mind that because you get involved deep with it. Best part of the movie is its background score, specially for Abhishek's character. Things not to be missed:- Abhishek Bachhan's acting(cant miss that one) Ajay Devgan's action sequences Howrah Bridge action sequence Vivek's light comedy The bike on Howrah which actually crashed breaking Vivek's leg Hospital scene and others in which Vivek is limping(because of the real life accident) Om Puri's near perfect bengali accent

Overall, a very good Hindi movie after a long time.

I rented this movie few weeks back, and was clearly reminded of certain movie I had seen not so long ago. It seems that the movie has been heavily influenced by Alejandro González's violent classic, Amores Perros.The movie has similar storyline of three characters and their lives, and how they get connected to each other at the climax of the movie. Well I personally am disappointed by this direct lifting of film direction and the narrative style. I have always been an admirer of Mani Ratnam movies, and wasn't expected something like this from the maker of Dil Se, Nayakan and Bombay. I would like to know if someone out there agrees with my observation.

The problem with the Hindi Film Industry has been low life Johnny-come-lately directors and actors who has taken over the Industry with the help of the Media pied piper morons and they have been put on the pedestal and worshiped as if we need these morons. Here comes Mani Ratnam (Ram Gopal Varma, Vikaram Bhatt,etc) who know talent when they see one (Esha Deol and exception) and cast them irrespective of the the Box office predictions. This is one tightly packaged and past paced movie with some great dialog, acting and direction. Abishek performance should make his papa proud. This kid has come a long way and he is even beginning to look like his old man. Next comes Rani, Vivek. Of course the Veteran Om Puri, is a delight to watch no matter what he does. Esha Deol cannot act-period. Ratnam or a Varma cannot extract any acting from this lasse-it is like trying to get juice out of a scotch tape. The stories run parallel and concurrently which adds a mystery like quality to the narration and one of the staple of a good cinema-the dialog is superb. The action scenes are very authentic and not the cheap variety seen in the decadent and discrepit Sharukh Khan and Salman Khan films. Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma have elevated the Hindi Cinema to the level that an Indian should be proud of, in fact this film sounds like a fast version of a Satyajit Ray film and that is a compliment for a filmmaker.

I loved the way the movie was made even though many people made a hue and cry of lifting from am-ores pères...well i was lucky to watch both in a cinema hall and I couldn't sit the whole movie (am-ores..) I watched yuva (actually ayutha ezhuthu) twice! I still don't understand why many did not like it. The movie starts to sample 3 different life styles out of which two of them are quite true. The third one is the hero which can be seen as an element missing from the real world. Some one who can inspire thousands and bring about a revolutionary change. The idea of course must have been to portray the youth as the missing element and they must understand how the world would move unless they do something about it.

First of the credit goes to the music composer which is a gives more weightage to the movie. Movies goes fast till the first half with 3 different stories of 3 different actors but the second half makes us feel little dull with political things. But altogether the movie is good

The film truly represents the Indian youth and urges them to think over the current situation. Excellent music by A R Rahman, as always. Spectacular performances by all the cast specially by Abhishek Bachchan.

Three strong ideologies and personalities cross their path and change each others' lives forever. The youth will be able to relate to the characters.

Much of the engineering junta aiming to settle in the US will really love Vivek Oberoi's character. Abhishek Bachchan delivers a strong character and performs it really well indeed with the UP accent. Ajay Devgan, as always, just spectacular.

I am shocked to see that this kind of work was not appreciated in Bollywood. A must watch for anybody who hasn't seen it yet.

The movie was very different, it showed a more realistic side of India. The side where when a music sequence comes up, everyone isn't dressed in the latest fashion and dancing in a beautiful out door location where you wont find another soul for miles. The story was a interesting, but I think I was most impressed with Abishek Bachchans performance. He played the role of a thug perfectly. You could tell that everyone was scared of him. This is the first time I have seen one of Abishek's movies, I have heard may people criticize him in the past. I can't speak of his prior movies, but for this one I can easily say that he deserves an award. I only wish that they did something else with the end, the bridge seen was a great sequence, however the end was anti-climatic.

Johnny

The film is so fresh even after 12 years of its release , still relevant to the point.

Maniratnam has his magic touch in this one too, locations are great. Calcutta is interesting as always and captured very well.

Rehman's music suits the mood of the film so does the score, Screenplay is tight although i don't like the Lallan's part.

Acting wise Ajay Devgan is best followed by Vivek Oberoi , Rani Mukharjee ,Kareena Kapoor ,Anant Nag and rest are also good.

Need Less to say one of the best films ever made in Bollywood !! Go for this quality cinema.

If there was any doubt about India's best director of the contemporary directors then the film Yuva should end it. It is a radical film primarily from Indian film perspective which breaks all stereotypes and set new grounds for others to follow. Right from the story, the dialogue, the background score, cinematography, character's performance all blend together to make this film a spectacle which not only spellbound but mesmerizes you. It's a kind of film which will please not only an average cinemagoer but also critics as it conforms to both cine-logic and audience taste. The audience's taste seems to have met it's match with this film, and could be seen as a caveat to all those who are hell-bent on churning out only formula films. The old formula seem to have become obsolete and indications are for something new which is not trite but something novel. Other thing that needs mentioning is the performance of the actors,even average actors have raised their level of acting a notch higher and the credit should go to Mani Ratnam. The fact that no actor scores over other and remain within the boundary of the character they portray is an achievement in itself, particularly in bollywood where character is written keeping in mind the actor. If there is one word that sums up the movie in a nutshell, brilliant. Kudos to Mani Ratnam and one hopes that from now on he makes more movies in Hindi so that a larger chunk of India's population is not devoid of his art.

Dil Se was a huge set back for Mani and it seems that he hasn't come out of that disaster. Yuva doesn't reveal the excellence of Roja and Bombay. Songs in the movie are highly irrelevant and irritating. Ajay Devgan is one of the most improvised actors in industry esp after Company. Vivek was more like a side actor. Abhishek suits in anti role and should continue as a villain. All the heroins were simply pathetic. Rani had some role to play, but she didn't look good. Esha has a short career as neither she looks good nor she acts well. Kareena, like her mother and unlike her sister, overacts. Om Puri is a world class actor. Overall, a below average movie !!
