Yodha

Wow, did "Yodha" ever deliver! Directed by the dynamic duo of Pushkar Ojha and Sagar Ambre, this movie throws Sidharth Malhotra into a whirlwind of action sequences that are both exhilarating and surprisingly fresh for Indian cinema. The narrative might utilize some familiar genre tropes, but "Yodha" injects a whole new energy level that keeps you riveted to the screen from the opening scene.

The film thrives on a breakneck pace. Each scene throws you right into the heart of the action, eschewing lulls and propelling you forward. The directors are masters at building suspense, with each plot twist ratcheting up the tension. Even when things veer towards predictability, "Yodha" manages to surprise and keep you on the edge of your seat.

The undeniable chemistry between Malhotra and Rashi Khanna adds another layer of depth to the story. You can't help but become invested in their journey, rooting for them as they confront danger together. Their camaraderie and connection become an anchor amidst the high-octane action.

The movie's one minor stumble lies with the supporting cast. The Yodha task force, with its intriguing name, promises a compelling team dynamic. However, the film doesn't provide enough opportunities to delve into their backstories or motivations. Exploring their backgrounds could have added another layer of intrigue, but perhaps the relentless pacing simply didn't allow for it.

Despite this minor drawback, "Yodha" is a thrilling rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. The plot is tightly constructed, with the action sequences serving not just as spectacle but also as plot drivers. The over-the-top climax leaves a lasting impression, solidifying the film's place as a must-watch for pure adrenaline junkies.

After a compelling film like "Shaitaan" last week, "Yodha" marks another strong start to the cinematic calendar, promising audiences an adrenaline-fueled ride they won't soon forget.

Okay so i am not a critic or anyone to judge but the movie just lacks to show any relation, As it can be like the father son that father gas created the task force which is yodha and son is working but it doesn't connect to us;and from mother son no relation is connected;same goes with the husband wife.

From my pov it can be shown that father is not dead but son does a mistake and yodha the task force is dismissed and now his father as well as others will be disappointed with him and now he have to save it and in the climax which is shown un the movie the last scene where hero comes alive should be a different climax where hero should be dead and now just imagine what will it be like.. Please it's just my pov as we have this type of cinema and we want to see something different,, so if i have hurted anyone's sentiments then I'm sorry 😐😐

Don't raise your expectations for this recent addition to the lineup of patriotic action films. While Yodha may not soar to the heights of a Shershaah, this Sidharth Malhotra starrer manages to engage and take audiences on a ride through a predictable yet gripping hijacking scenario. The film offers a decent ride for fans of the genre, with enough action and intrigue to keep audiences engaged throughout its runtime.

The first half navigates its storyline with a fair share of exciting moments and twists. While the mid-air stunts deliver the anticipated adrenaline rush, the plot struggles to maintain the same level of engagement. One of the film's strengths lies in its editing, ensuring a tight narrative that never feels stretched despite its turbulence. The background score seamlessly complements the genre, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Sidharth Malhotra, in his uniform-clad avatar, with his striking presence delivers a commendable performance, particularly in the action sequences. Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani, add their own flavors to the mix, with Raashii initially impressive but her character was not written well, while Disha shines brighter in the latter half of the film. Sunny Hinduja also deserves a nod for his confident portrayal, though other supporting actors deliver just passably.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Action 3.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 3/5.

Yodha a name that in itself inspires magnetism and people fill the Hall with an expectation of an action packed drama. The film stands up on this measure, it is filled with actions scenes but the makers in their over eagerness have tried to fit all the action plot points that can happen in this amalgamation. Often viewers question the logic and rationality behind the scene. Often the villains and their goons perform stupid actions only for explosive glamour. Often Siddharth Malhotra utters a dialogue which he believes will be a sensation only for it to fall flat and forgettable. Forgettable and predictable can aptly describe the plot and though there are silver linings that account for surprise, mirth and excitement , they are too far few to engross the viewer and hush conversations in the hall. Such plots without fail entice conversations on their veracity, feasibility and practicality.

This movie is about a special unit in the Indian Armed Forces that specializes in dealing with extreme situations, mainly counter-terrorism. The story is written in an extremely good way, with plot points being revealed slowly throughout the movie.

However, the screenplay is bogus. The makers have tried to portray the lead actor in a larger-than-life role where he kills people half a mile away with his pistol! Moreover, there are plot loopholes that are quite laughable. For example, the Prime Minister of India is visiting a foreign country (especially a hostile one), and all the bodyguards are so incompetent that they are killed off and shot by the terrorists. The Prime Minister and the Principal Secretary are alone with the terrorists, which shows how lowly the makers think about the Indian Armed Forces. Due to these loopholes, this movie could not become a cult classic action movie, and the hard work done by the actors went off the drain. I would recommend watching this movie once, but never twice.
