Sometimes I wonder whether Bollywood prepares any script before directing any film. Spending so much on location, songs and dance would not give inception of a good film unless script is thoroughly worked upon.
Yaariyan tells the story of 5 friends who has been assigned task by their principal to compete with Australian team to save their college from being sold off by a powerful business man.
First time director Divya Khosla Kumar does not do justice to the area of direction. As the movie begins, you are greeted by glossy and candy floss environment of college( reminds of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai ) with unnecessary insertion of songs. The main drama unfolds in the later reel which again is intolerable with screenplay written by a school kid. Art direction and Cinematography is excellent especially the ones shot in Australia. Songs are tuneful. Dialogues are less-impacting. Performances are over-top. Aditya Raj Kapoor does not have conventional hero looks nor has given good performance.
Overall, a pathetic film in every sense. Poor- 1/5
