Could have been a great movie but weak direction brought it down

#FinalVerdict

Based on the French film Les Lyonnais (2011), Yaara is well adapted by Tigmanshu Dhulia - an avant-garde storyteller of the present times - to suit Indian sensibilities and the film will have you on edge of the seat as it unfolds.

Yaara is engaging in most parts. It starts off strong enough and keeps the momentum going till the end, though, of course, it goes back and forth at times and that could get a bit confusing. The viewer ought to stay alert and watch the goings-on carefully. As Yaara moves ahead, the narrative vacillates between engrossing and not-too-captivating moments. It also gets talk-heavy at times. The climax could've been more impactful. Also, the concept is too urbane. Tigmanshu Dhulia's dialogue is plain ordinary. The plot takes time to come to the point. But Yaara, in totality, is a well-crafted, well-executed film with the ensemble cast pitching in competent performances.

Siddharth Pandit, Ankit Tiwari, Shaan and Gourov Dasgupta-Roshin Balu's music is another asset. Cinematography (Rishi Punjabi) is first-rate. The look of the film is consistently brilliant. The background score (Clinton Cerejo) is exceptional. Each and every frame seduces you into the world that director Tigmanshu Dhulia recreates so delightfully.

The hard work and expertise of director Tigmanshu Dhulia are echoed by the entire star cast of Yaara. Not just the title leads, but each and every actor delivers top-notch performances. Vidyut Jammwal is simply outstanding. Amit Sadh is commanding yet again. Vijay Varma is in top form. Kenny Basumatary, Anuraag Pandey and Mohommed Ali Shah and Shruti Haasan pitch in terrific performances. Shreya Narayan, Sanjai Mishra and Ankur Vikal may not have many lines to deliver, but they do make their presence felt.

To sum up, Yaara may not be Tigmanshu Dhulia's finest work, but it has moments that prove his supremacy as a storyteller and his effort needs to be lauded. Watch it on for the intriguing characters and terrific performances!

Finally a good movie after a long time on Zee Platform. Must watch.

Vidyut Jammwal should play Rambo, not Tiger Shroff. Vidyut is much more talented. Who agrees?

I was expecting a lot from this Tigmanshu Dhulia starrer Yaara, but I was really disappointed after watching the movie. It's not that the movie is too bad. It has it's moments but, it's only a few, and works only in parts. Amit Sadh was the only shining star in this otherwise mediocre action thriller. Even Vidyut Jamwal and Vijay Verma were too monotonous. Though, Kenny Basumatary was a surprise package. We always debate about insiders vs outsiders, but, we also need to understand that this is the entertainment industry and if you cannot perform well, it becomes difficult for producers to cast somebody Continuosly for a long period of time. Vidyut Janwal truly deserves a good script, which would do justice to his talent and would showcase him as an abled actor.

Absolute garbage. Rotten to the core, poor everything !!

Ignore the paid bogus reviews...

Movie is boring and direction is also bad.......Amit Sadh and Vidyut Jamwal should choose better script or better director.....it could have been a disaster movie ....ssr sympathy wave saved you this time....... giving you 6 star so that you don't feel demoralised

I watch Vidyut's movie to watch action but this flick does not have much except a few scenes in which he did full justice. But the poor part is the story of the movie, a common basic theme of friendship. Well Vidyut, Amit and the other 2 friends of them acted well and as usual Shruti Hasan was not able to act. I would say if you don't have anything to watch, you can see this.

Movie is about four friends and their gang name "Chaukdi Gang". Its an entertaining movie. Amit Sadh's acting was too good.

Watch only for VJ Normal story line. We already watch some movie basd on this story like gunday. Their are some point that could be make realistic but didn't it. In climax when VJ is in Romania and around actions are too irrelevant or unrealistic. But outsider of bollywood actor is movie is best. One time watch.

From beginning to end it all seams like there is always a hurry...and editing is not satisfactory neither is cinematography..

Keep making such kind of simple and realistic film. I just watched the film and I really appreciate it.

I don't understand the relevance of the character Mitwa. It was going well but last 30 minutes or the climax was not up to the mark.

Total waste of time watching this movie,no story not a proper direction, its like jhelna this movie...

Good movie to watch for especially the vidyut jamwal's acting and superb direction from dhulia great work done with perfection.

Simply in one line this film is harmful for your net pack. Batana kya chahte ho ki naxals is the best. #Shameonbollywood

Movie could have been much better there were few loops in the direction and a slightly better story line could have been gr8.

Vidyut Jamwal : Mehnat barbaad bc 😂 Storyline is very poor, also direction too

One of the best movies of 2020! Teaches one of true friendship!

This was a bore fest, dialogues were very very poorly written. There are twists and turns, but they fail to generate any interest. Vidyut Jamwal has a commanding personality, but his built seems out of the place most of the time. His role choices are limited by his physique and voice. Kenny is confident and impressive, Amit Sadh was good, Vijay Verma was okay. Oh and Shruti hassan is no good as well, but didn't expect much from her.

Yaara had one of the best teaser and I was super excited to watch this. But movie is sheer disappointment.

Best part: Super cool retro clothes. And Vidyut looks too good.

The film looks quite promising. The actors are very talented. Beautiful!

It's a good movie, not great but one time watchable. Performance is too good of all star cast except sruti. Must watch , you can't be disappointed.

The most funny thing in the film was a bank robbery sequence, where you do not see any public, except the actors, the Tyre puncture and shooting stuff was so unauthentic. the story progresses poorly and you get bore easily

I have no problems with the movie except the execution of the plot which seemed a bit hasty. Otherwise it's a decent movie.
