A treat for youngsters and young at heart!
YAARIYAN has a gripping second half, smash hit musical score and the youthful romance that should lure and entice its target audience -- the youth(more)

Big dreams, desires and ambition - all the stuff that youth is made of - packed in a college drama.
'Grease' was the word. Helping hormone-rushed youngsters slide into puberty and outta tight-fitting pants. 'Yaariyan' could have been the word. About friends, first-kisses and hot flushes. Peppered with candy-crushes and teenage desires furthest from reality. So we have Bettys and Veronicas crushing on extra-smiley Archies, all the while shaking their 'toohs' and 'tees' (beep, beep!) at beach parties. Of course, with thoda ambition, kuch-kuch competition, and mostly out-of-classroom lessons.(more)

Yaariyan seeks to pass off the most putrid and regressive ideas as representative of the thoughts and aspirations of Generation X.
Yaariyan talks about a whole lot of other things � friendship, trust, patriotism, race attacks and tolerance � but makes no sense at all. It would make perfect sense to give this film a miss.(more)

Yaariyan is a brand new recipe for disaster!
Debutante director Divya Khosla Kumar crafts a completely new recipe for a disaster you didn't see coming. Yaariyan is a work of art. It will be taught in film schools, year after year, when they're conducting their How to Make a Really Good Bad Film lecture. I'm quite sure that the single paged textbook for the course will look like this: (more)

'Yaariyan' is strictly for those who want to enjoy the songs on the big screen
Yaariyan is a tailor made recipe for the teens, or those who have stacks of Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl DVDs lined up on their shelf. A story of five friends who fight racism in Australia and battle it out at a talent championship to save their college, Yaariyan has only one big trump card � its music. The casting is stereotypical and adult jokes and sexual innuendos have been inserted to cater to those battling puberty blues. (more)

Stepping out of the theatre after the film is over.
There is no valid reason for you to watch Divya Khosla Kumar�s Yaariyan. It is dull, boring, pathetic and doesn�t seem to get over. Have you ever tried Indian, Italian, American, Continental cuisines all together in the same evening? Trust me the film was a pathetic variation of the same and believe my word, it was a cinematic acidity of sorts which plagues the viewers. Filmmakers please show some respect for the wit of your viewers and your craft and spare us the horror of such movies.(more)
