How about that ? To say the least , Yuvvraaj is a good watch . i just finished watching it . As usual , i thought i would not last even 15 minutes , with the hammed up acting of Salman and the over complicated storyline or absolutely rubbish story with all of his previous releases in 2008 . So i was quite pessimistic with this one too.
But surprise , surprise . Even though i am not a big Salmon hammy khan fan , i would have to say honestly , he did give a good performance ,for once i didn't feel cheated by paying to watch a Salmon's movie . He was good so were others . only exception is Zayed khan . as usual he never lets me down . i don't even know why he is acting ? He is a sure bet when it comes to huge letdown on acting. He ruins everything.
The story is simple , Its about 3 brothers , Anil , Salmon and Zayed . The 2 Khans aka Salmon and Zayed wish to inherit a huge sum from their fathers estate who dies and leaves the whole inheritance . The catch is the father pulls a fast one and leaves the inheritance to Anil , the eldest one who is Mentally retarded. So as usual the khans gets angry o be weaseled out of the deal. Mithun plays a convincing role of a will attorney who breaks the good news to the brothers that they are conned out of the deal by their dead father. Salman who is a talented chorus singer in Austria is in love with the alluring Katrina ,Awwww. Why cant i get a girl like that . anyhow getting back to the story . Kat is the daughter of Boman Irani who is a wealthy surgeon and does not like Salman . So finally Salmon and Irani sign an accord that states if Salmon becomes a billionaire within 40 days , he will marry Kat or else leave her. on the other hand Salmon on reaching London where gets the happy news about his fathers will from Mithun .And then the story starts , What will Salmon do ? Will he try to con Anil , his elder brother out of his inheritance so that he get the whole estate so that he can marry Kat or will he try to help Anil, his mentally retarded elder brother and save him from Zayed and rest of the family members.
Performance wise , i would say its Salmans best performance this year. Anil is a great actor , always has been and he has done a fine work. Mithun shows up here and there but is quite convincing in his role of a high power attorney. The story is good , the songs are good. As stated previously , only Zayed is an eye sore with his extra hammed up so called acting. Salman gives a good performance and for once he keeps his shirt on. Even in the songs . what a surprise.
Story wise its a old one , just repacked in a new material , with good scenic Austria as its backdrop. The cast is well chosen and the story goes on In its own pace , smoothly.
Guys and gals ! i will be honest . i look at movies as a investment in my leisure time . so it has to be my moneys worth . or else it doesn't matter what the media says or what everyone else says . After the movie ends i should feel that my money was well spent and i am entertained.
This movie does so . Its a good watch and i would recommend it . This is a simple story scripted and made so that its digestible Overall i would give it a fun family watch. I will give it a 8/10 . and two thumbs up.
