Yadvi: The Dignified Princess

This film transports the viewer to another time and place with lovely costumes, all lit beautifully and accompanied by wonderful music. The heroine Yadvi, draws the viewer in with a story that at times is heartbreaking but displays a strong woman who ultimately triumphs over her circumstances. It's a story one can identify with and is also good for the entire family.

Yadvi is a gorgeous, heartfelt film, where excellent acting joins with a great script to bring a bygone era to life. Jyoti Singh excels both in the starring role, the noble princess Yadvi, and also as the film's director. I have no idea how she did both at the same time! Excellent sets and richly lit cinematography make this movie a delight for the eyes from beginning to end. The script, written by Gauri Singh, enables the biographical portrait to gently and poetically unfold, gracefully bringing the viewer along through each phase of Yadvi's life, where tragedy and nobility of character are inextricably interwoven. My pranams to all who were involved in this beautiful project!

Rare it is to watch something of this high quality and sheer beauty. A real life portrayal of the strength of character of a woman in adversity. Relevant to all cultures and ethnicities (including children), you can totally see yourself as the main character and imagine what you would have done in the difficult situations she faced. A MUST WATCH!!!

A compelling, unflinching glimpse into the private life of Indian royalty during a time of change, and great loss. Yadvi is an exceptional female character, unlike any ordinary leading lady. The film's pace allows the viewer to become a part of this family, and to experience the events without the rushing of typical "Hollywood" movies. A rewarding experience, and beautiful filmmaking.

Yadvi was captivating and moving. With such incredible visuals, viewers were enthralled by the sheer beauty of each scene alone! But as the plot unfolded, it was impossible to keep yourself from falling in love with it's characters, who were unbelievably authentic and charming. The realness of the film was really something unique--with such an intimate story, you could truly feel the significance of what was being shared as it unraveled. And the sound track was just as fantastic! A MUST SEE!
