Yudhra

Despite stylish direction and good performances, Yudhra is let down by poor writing, forgettable music, and weak storytelling. It falls flat due to weak screenplay and a lack of coherence in its execution. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the movie starts with promise but quickly devolves into a long, bumpy ride that leaves viewers dejected and exhausted by its 142-minute runtime. While the action is visually engaging, it can't save the lackluster script, which lacks depth and clarity.

The cast delivers commendable performances, with Siddhant Chaturvedi standing out as a convincing action hero. His physicality and commitment to the role are apparent. Malavika Mohanan delivers a fine performance as well, particularly in the action scenes where she shines. Raghav Juyal, while stronger in his previous roles in "KILL" and the thriller series "Gyaarah Gyaarah," plays a terrific villain here, even though the film's writing doesn't do him justice. Supporting actors like Gajraj Rao, Raj Arjun, and Ram Kapoor are solid in their respective roles.

The dialogue feels forced and the screenplay is equally weak, meandering aimlessly without a clear sense of direction or purpose. Unfortunately, the editing does little to remedy this, and tighter cuts could have significantly improved the flow of the story. The music is another letdown. Quite forgettable, the songs fail to leave any lasting impact and feel out of place. With poor music and a sluggish script, the film struggles to find its rhythm.
