                    Yuva 
                  THE 
                    LATEST HOT SUMMER RELEASE MANI RATNAM'S YUVA IS BEING REVIEWED 
                    BY ME AS UNDER -  
                  I 
                    really think yuva is mani ratnam's best film till date. The 
                    reason behind it is - 
                   
                    1) The 
                      way the screenplay is presented and moves the story of the 
                      film. 
                    2) The 
                      technical strength of the film is the best one made in bollywood. 
                    3) The 
                      film has very good performances by the entire cast. 
                    4) The 
                      action scenes are damme strong & worthy to see again 
                      & again. 
                   
                  Then 
                    what yuva lacks or what is wrong about it? 
                   
                    1) Most 
                      of the audience doesn't like the way the bengali backdrop 
                      is set by mani in its true form, hence the strength becomes 
                      the unlikliness for some people. 
                    2) The 
                      language of lallan(abhishek) is just like a bengali boy 
                      who speaks hindi, he did that well but again it difficult 
                      to understand. 
                    3) The 
                      way the film goes out explaining all the 3 different characters 
                      in 3 segments its speed is fast for some to catch up with 
                      the script, that is why they say "yeh sabh kyon ho 
                      raha hai! teeno characters are not set well" again 
                      the stylish pace becomes a problem. 
                    4) The 
                      major problem yuva is not an entertaining film like Main 
                      hoo naa! since it doesn't have a commedy element. The entire 
                      film is straight to the point even the songs of ajay devgan 
                      do not serve as a break instead they move the story further. 
                      Mani's story telling becomes a problem. 
                   
                  What 
                    is yuva good at - 
                   
                    1) if 
                      u are bored of repetitive films; love triangles, horrors, 
                      action same stories, & you really need a offbeat film 
                      of its own kind. which may or may not have entertainment 
                      part but makes you to think then watch yuva.  
                    2) Abhishek 
                      bachchan's performance is the high altitude of the film. 
                      He steals the show from ajay devgan, & has certainly 
                      portrayed lallan's character very well without copying his 
                      dad BigB. He deserves an award. 
                    3) A 
                      R Rahman's music picturised on full screen inside a theatre 
                      sound. which doesn't have any other match today.
