Yodha

Story : The story of the movie is quite good. Not so good and not so bad.

Screenplay : The entire movie is good except for the climax scene. There are some illogical and unrealistic scenes.

The action scene during the 360 degree turn of the plane was amazing.

Not everyone's performance was good. Music is very bad Background score - Needless to say Movie length - Another five to ten minutes of scenes could have been cut Negative point : The climax scene in the movie is completely unrealistic and illogical

Entertainment was somewhat lacking in the movie. There are much better movies to watch than this one.

It may not have done well at the box office, but it will definitely do well in the hearts of his fans. Sid is back with another political/thriller/action type of movie. He has definitely found his niche after the massive success of shershah and i dont blame him for trying to rack up a few movies from this genre onto his resume. He does what is expected of him, and he does it well. He has come a long way from soty. Disha is the suprise package in this and with some meatier roles, she has a good change of becoming the queen bee in a few years. Rashi khanna is irrelevant in her role. There are a few good action sequences and some supense, the later half of the movie drags a bit but overall a good effort and a fun watch.

If I were asked to summarise Yodha in a single word, it would be generic. The protagonist is a disobedient and impulsive army official who can do no wrong and can single-handedly fend off heavy artillery with ease. The antagonists are paper-thin characters whose sole purpose is to spread terror and capture Kashmir(of course!). The action sequences are steeped in nationalism, patriotism and machismo. Oh, and not to mention the physics-defying superhuman stunts. If these are the qualities you are looking for in a movie, have at it, but its tiresome to see the lack of novelty and artistry in Bollywood action films today.

Let us give credit where its due - Siddharth Malhotra is by far the strongest asset of the film, and has a natural aura and charisma that is palpable every time he is onscreen, whether he is punching and shooting his way through the barrage of terrorists raining down on him or sharing a heartfelt moment with his wife. His sheer commitment to the role of Arun Katyal may compel you to forgive some of the nonsensical aspects of the plot. The action is also choreographed and shot surprisingly well, especially considering the modest budget of the movie.

Unfortunately, the rest of the cast does not match Malhotra's level of performance. Disha Patani plays Laila, an air hostess aboard the hijacked flight and reaffirms that her acting isn't still on par with her beauty. Rashi Khanna looks and feels clueless in her performance as Priya Katyal, Arun's wife. The rest of the supporting cast is also disappointing.

The writing is undeniably formulaic and predictable. There is some intrigue and suspense that is established towards the end of the first half of the film. I was interested to see the direction in which the second half would go. Disappointingly, the second half is as predictable as it gets. Attempted twists that fall flat, action that gets tedious as the film progresses and the dialogue is inexcusably bad. It all felt like a missed opportunity to create something genuinely different and unique.

Overall, Yodha is a forgettable aerial thriller that is saved by Siddharth Malhotra's charismatic performance and some decently filmed action.

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.

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.
