The movie felt like a mishmash of too many elements, resulting in a messy and lackluster screenplay. While Yuva Rajkumar showed promise in fight sequences and dance numbers, it wasn't enough to salvage the film.
The love story followed predictable patterns, typical of Ananddram's work, and Saptami Gowda's character lacked depth, with her performance falling short of expectations. The dialogue felt contrived with an abundance of cheesy one-liners - of course meant for the Rajvamsha fans. While the protagonist's hot-headed nature is understandable, it shouldn't result in a "Single expression" throughout the film. The movie failed to capture the authenticity of middle-class life, Unnecessary fight scenes and forced Mangalorean slang further detracted from the overall experience. It's disappointing to see such potential go untapped in Yuva Rajkumar's debut.
Despite its flaws, Yuva Rajkumar shows potential and could shine with improvements in expressions and natural acting. Ultimately, "Yuva" is a mediocre commercial film, only worth watching for its dance sequences and action scenes.
