6 Songs : Mind Blowing!!
Source :HinduTimes

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_465617,00110003.htm

Simply mind-blowing

November 20

Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi can’t stop raving about the songs of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. “A.R. Rahman and Mani Sir and dynamite together,” says Vivek on the sets of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria’s Masti, and adds, “The six songs Rahman has recorded for the film are mind-blowing.”

Ajay Devgan, his co-star in Yuva and Masti, uses the same words to describe them. Incidentally, when the film was launched earlier this year, Mani Ratnam had decided not to have a single song in it.

Vivek also feels that Abhishek Bachchan’s is the best role and best performance in the film. “That guy’s career will take off in a big way after Yuva,” predicts Vivek.

  Just saw AE in Sydney....
  
  To cut the long story short....it was a big disappointment and let down for a admirer of Mani like me.
  
  Take it from me...it will not make it at the box-office. It is 2am here and I need to go to bed soon. Will come back with a detail review tomorrow.

  Compare this with an Indian review and see how much either reviews reveal the story. This why I maintain that indian reviewers are bonehead pieces of s*hit!!!!
  
  Portraits From the Class Struggle in Modern India
  By DAVE KEHR
  
  Published: May 21, 2004
  Mani Ratnam's "Yuva," a Bollywood feature that opens today
  nationwide, has a sharp political edge that is rare in Hindi-language
  films, celebrated as they are for their wildly exuberant production
  numbers and sugary love stories.
  
  These elements are certainly present in "Yuva," which features a
  bouncy score by India's leading pop composer, A R Rahman (whose music
  is also the basis of the current Broadway musical "Bombay Dreams"),
  and no fewer than three star-crossed couples. Their romantic ups-and-
  downs are patiently chronicled over the course of the film's 160
  minutes.
  
  But Mr. Ratnam, a prolific filmmaker who usually works in the Tamil-
  language cinema of southern India rather than the Hindi cinema
  centered in Mumbai (the former Bombay), uses the Bollywood
  conventions to get at a social reality. The title translates
  as "Youth," and Mr. Ratnam means to provide a generational portrait
  through his three male protagonists, each drawn from a different
  stratum of Indian society in contemporary Calcutta.
  
  The middle-class Michael (Ajay Devgan) is a brilliant student who
  turns down an opportunity to study in America to lead a local revolt
  against a corrupt establishment politician played by Om Puri, in a
  role refreshingly removed from the cuddly patriarchs he has played in
  English-language films like "East Is East." The upper-class Arjun
  (Vivek Oberoi) is a charming wastrel looking forward to emigrating to
  America, whose life is transformed when he falls under Michael's
  reformist spell.
  
  The most interesting character is Lallan (played, in a simmering,
  charismatic performance, by Abhishek Bachchan), a street thug who
  becomes an enforcer for the party in power. Left out of India's
  economic miracle, he is an unpredictable, violent man who believes in
  self-preservation above all, in stark and pointed contrast to his
  coddled counterparts.
  
  Mr. Ratnam is a dynamic, natural filmmaker who happily uses every
  device at his disposal, from rapid-fire MTV editing to sped-up action
  scenes that recall silent serials, to keep his lengthy film moving at
  a brisk pace. The film flags only when Mr. Ratnam must turn his
  attention to the soggy romantic subplots, in which each of the men
  must deal with the demands for domesticity made by their adoring but
  subtly domineering female companions.
  
  YUVA
  
  Written and directed by Mani Ratnam; in Hindi, with English
  subtitles; director of photography, Ravi K. Chandran; edited by
  Sreekar Prasad; music by AR Rahman, lyrics by Mehboob; choreography,
  Brinda and Shanthi; produced by Mr. Ratnam and G. Srinivasan;
  released by Net Effect Media. At the Loews State Theater, 1540
  Broadway at 45th Street, Manhattan. Running time: 160 minutes. This
  film is not rated.
  
  WITH: Ajay Devgan (Michael), Vivek Oberoi (Arjun), Abhishek Bachchan
  (Lallan) and Om Puri (corrupt politician).

  The people who dont use the *SPOILER* alerts need to be more considerate to others.
  
  We dont want to know your views on the story and particular scenes. If you insist on posting it atleast post it with spoiler tags.
  
  Thanks

  i think AE and yuva are a bit ahead of times in the sense ppl. on both hindi and tamil are xpecting diff. kind of movies like masala,rowdy saving society,love story of a cancer patient.....so AE,Yuva are really out of place...
