Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai drowned completely after directing the disaster Yaadein(2001). After which he returned with Kisna and Mr White Mr Black, both being flops. Now, he returns with Yuvraaj. He probably though having a romantic movie with an emotional twist would give him a comeback and great applause. However, such films only work when the script is well directed. However, the script itself is stale and terribly written.
The story of the film is about 3 brothers who are the sons of a wealthy father. Anil Kapoor is the mental and eldest son, Salman Khan is the second eldest and a slacked, and Zayed Khan is the youngest but he is hot headed. The father dies and Anil gets all the property and money. Salman and Zayed hatch a conspiracy in which Anil will have to equally share all the money with his 2 brothers. The rest of the story forms the second half and climax of this utterly boring movie Yuvraaj.
What can be done with a movie when the biggest asset(script) is a minus point in this film. The story starts of well with proper introductions but soon it falls flat, after the interval, everything goes haywire. Certain scenes don't make sense and at the end, you feel the film hasn't been written well and the editing is poor. Subhash Ghai tries his best to handle the film but with a hideous script and poor editing, his direction doesn't do much.
Salman Khan does an average job, he does well initially. However, after a while, his act gets boring. Wanted(2009) saved his career from completely falling flat as this and God Tussi Great Ho gave him a bad 2008. Anil Kapoor does okay but an actor of his caliber should be doing better roles. Zayed Khan irritates, his anger is poorly shown on the big screen. Katrina Kaif looks beautiful but she doesn't have much to do except romance Salman. However, their chemistry is beautiful in that one song.
Music is superb, the Shano Shano song was good fun, the Dost song was a decent one will others were good fillers. Editing and other technical aspects of the film disappoint, but the major disappointment is the script itself.
On the whole, Yuvraaj is a disappointing flick, my expectations were not high because Ghai was not at his best phase after the disaster Yaadein. However, this film was even worse than Yaadein, at least that one had a better prepared script planned out.
