Yadvi: The Dignified Princess

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!!!

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!

#Yadvi is the true story of a Patiala princess, who maintains her dignity n pride, despite being neglected by her husband n father-in-law. She is brought up in total luxury, but loses all her wealth (due to some bad choices) n starts to lead a commoner's life. Jyoti as the princess n Rahul as her husband, are decent performers. The locations seem authentic. The music matches the film's mood. Since the response is very poor, your chances of watching this film are restricted. Rating 3/5.

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..was a wonderfully filmed movie and very emotional. It was very professionally done. The actors were great. It was an eye opener about another culture. I also got to meet and talk to the incredible filmmaker--Gauri Singh Puri. Met her and her sister at the Eastern North Carolina Film Festival in Winterville, NC. I'm looking forward to seeing her next project.
