Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai's 'Yuvvraaj' is a body beautiful of minus soul. One expects wonders from this one, reason? A seasoned filmmaker, dream star-cast, music by Oscar- winner A R Rahman, first-rate cinematography. But the film falls short, and the sole reason is the outdated, bland script. Its like going back to school, and asking for new subjects all of a sudden. 'Yuvvraaj' falls short of expectations, no options on that. Unfortunately no Raaj for 'Yuvvraaj'.

Pluses of the film: The film has been shot beautifully, thanks to the breath-taking cinematography. Performances are good: Mithun Chakraborty is excellent in a brief role. Anil Kapoor is good. Salman Khan is not in form, he looks least interested in most scenes, the only scene he excels is towards the climax, when Anil goes through an operation. Zayed Khan is decent. Katrina Kaif looks angelic and does an okay job. Boman Irani is superb. Others are alright.

Minuses: The script is stale. And that's its biggest minus point.

on the whole 'Yuvvraaj' is no royal watch. Letdown!
