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.

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 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

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

The film is realistic and the actors are entertaining. This film is a great success to Zee 5.

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.

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

Ignore the paid bogus reviews...

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

The movie looses the plot many times and direction is not good at all. but Viduyt jamal is great and also amit sad. for them i am giving it a 6

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

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

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

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.

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

Yaara is an action-packed, intense story of friendship, betrayal and crime. It's good to see Vidyut Jammwal play a character than can be remembered for both action as well as acting skills. It's not just him, but also Amit Sadh, Vijay Varma, Kenny Basumatary and Shruti Haasan who complete the film and deliver memorable performances. The film is a little longer than 2 hours but the story being layered makes the film feel like a very long one indeed! The film is full of raw action sequences; gunfights are in plenty and there's also some cool "Vidyut" action as expected from him. The visual appeal is high and the production values seem nice. One and only issue is that there are too many songs; some of them come just after one is over! The only reason I excuse that is because they're all background songs with either some important scene or flashback going on. There are also some good twists injected into the story. All in all, Yaara is an exciting action drama that is a must watch for fans of any of the leading actors or this genre.

It's an all round ok-ish movie considering the fact that it had to go through production hell and got delayed multiple times. Kudos to the team for getting it done and releasing it on an OTT platform. Simple story riddled with unnecessary complications. Acting performances were mediocre. Felt like most of talents were wasted including cameos and guest appearances. Tigmanshu failed to his the mark. Setting, costumes, dialogues were excellent. Loved the songs, their lyrics and the overall music. Apart from that, the movie was fine.

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.

Awesome movie, storyline is strong, great acting and nice direction.

Expected a block buster movie with startcast like Vidyut, Amit Sadh, Shruti. But unfortunately does not meet expectations. Main reason of failure was less action and more drama. One time watch without much expectations

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 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.
