Yodha

Okay so i am not a critic or anyone to judge but the movie just lacks to show any relation, As it can be like the father son that father gas created the task force which is yodha and son is working but it doesn't connect to us;and from mother son no relation is connected;same goes with the husband wife.

From my pov it can be shown that father is not dead but son does a mistake and yodha the task force is dismissed and now his father as well as others will be disappointed with him and now he have to save it and in the climax which is shown un the movie the last scene where hero comes alive should be a different climax where hero should be dead and now just imagine what will it be like.. Please it's just my pov as we have this type of cinema and we want to see something different,, so if i have hurted anyone's sentiments then I'm sorry 😐😐

Yodha a name that in itself inspires magnetism and people fill the Hall with an expectation of an action packed drama. The film stands up on this measure, it is filled with actions scenes but the makers in their over eagerness have tried to fit all the action plot points that can happen in this amalgamation. Often viewers question the logic and rationality behind the scene. Often the villains and their goons perform stupid actions only for explosive glamour. Often Siddharth Malhotra utters a dialogue which he believes will be a sensation only for it to fall flat and forgettable. Forgettable and predictable can aptly describe the plot and though there are silver linings that account for surprise, mirth and excitement , they are too far few to engross the viewer and hush conversations in the hall. Such plots without fail entice conversations on their veracity, feasibility and practicality.

If I were asked to summarise Yodha in a single word, it would be generic. The protagonist is a disobedient and impulsive army official who can do no wrong and can single-handedly fend off heavy artillery with ease. The antagonists are paper-thin characters whose sole purpose is to spread terror and capture Kashmir(of course!). The action sequences are steeped in nationalism, patriotism and machismo. Oh, and not to mention the physics-defying superhuman stunts. If these are the qualities you are looking for in a movie, have at it, but its tiresome to see the lack of novelty and artistry in Bollywood action films today.

Let us give credit where its due - Siddharth Malhotra is by far the strongest asset of the film, and has a natural aura and charisma that is palpable every time he is onscreen, whether he is punching and shooting his way through the barrage of terrorists raining down on him or sharing a heartfelt moment with his wife. His sheer commitment to the role of Arun Katyal may compel you to forgive some of the nonsensical aspects of the plot. The action is also choreographed and shot surprisingly well, especially considering the modest budget of the movie.

Unfortunately, the rest of the cast does not match Malhotra's level of performance. Disha Patani plays Laila, an air hostess aboard the hijacked flight and reaffirms that her acting isn't still on par with her beauty. Rashi Khanna looks and feels clueless in her performance as Priya Katyal, Arun's wife. The rest of the supporting cast is also disappointing.

The writing is undeniably formulaic and predictable. There is some intrigue and suspense that is established towards the end of the first half of the film. I was interested to see the direction in which the second half would go. Disappointingly, the second half is as predictable as it gets. Attempted twists that fall flat, action that gets tedious as the film progresses and the dialogue is inexcusably bad. It all felt like a missed opportunity to create something genuinely different and unique.

Overall, Yodha is a forgettable aerial thriller that is saved by Siddharth Malhotra's charismatic performance and some decently filmed action.

Don't raise your expectations for this recent addition to the lineup of patriotic action films. While Yodha may not soar to the heights of a Shershaah, this Sidharth Malhotra starrer manages to engage and take audiences on a ride through a predictable yet gripping hijacking scenario. The film offers a decent ride for fans of the genre, with enough action and intrigue to keep audiences engaged throughout its runtime.

The first half navigates its storyline with a fair share of exciting moments and twists. While the mid-air stunts deliver the anticipated adrenaline rush, the plot struggles to maintain the same level of engagement. One of the film's strengths lies in its editing, ensuring a tight narrative that never feels stretched despite its turbulence. The background score seamlessly complements the genre, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Sidharth Malhotra, in his uniform-clad avatar, with his striking presence delivers a commendable performance, particularly in the action sequences. Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani, add their own flavors to the mix, with Raashii initially impressive but her character was not written well, while Disha shines brighter in the latter half of the film. Sunny Hinduja also deserves a nod for his confident portrayal, though other supporting actors deliver just passably.
