It takes time to absorb YUVVRAAJ

YUVVRAAJ is interesting in parts, with the penultimate 20/25 minutes taking the film to an all-time high. Ghai handles the dramatic scenes with flourish.

Yawn of a moral science lesson

Producer-Writer-Director Subhash Ghai is out of sorts in this venture. Subhash Ghai�s films can be depended on for soulful, memorable music; the tunes of which you invariably hum and the lyrics you say in your head over and over. Here too, AR Rahman and Gulzar create magic.(more)
