Is Yuvvraaj really the best selling audio of the year ? I hope that Gajini doesn't get released this year so that ARR could win all prizes this year with Jodha Akbar, Jaane Tu, Yuvraaj and next year he wins all prizes with Gajini
it would turn out to be a dragging movie with too much of music i guess...Quote:

HE'S the last of the showmen left, apart from Yash Chopra, who seems to have taken a break from direction. Yes, not so long ago, Subhash Ghai was a synonym for Bollywood's opulent extravaganzas of the '80s-'90s, when cinema was still a larger-than-life narrative about good versus evil. Remember Karz , the original, Karma , Ram Lakhan , Khalnayak , Taal ...an era of cinema where the formula not only held sway, but was a grand success too.
The onslaught of new storytellers and new styles may have pushed the old guard into the background, but it failed to dim the passion. Today, after a lean phase, the veteran filmmaker returns with Yuvvraaj , a grandiose film that has lots to boast about, even though it falters here and there in terms of script and narrative.
Topping the list of positives is AR Rahman's scintillating music score which brings to life Gulzar's poetry with sublime fluidity. And since the film is essentially set against a musical backdrop, where Katrina and Salman are members of an Austrain orchestra, Rahman's ode to Beethoven seems in perfect sync with the script.
Secondly, it's the aesthetics of the film which leaves a lasting impression. Mostly shot in Prague and Austria, the film is picture-postcard perfect, with cinematographer Kabir Lal capturing the exotic locales in splendid hues. And finally, the film scores with its performances, especially by Salman Khan who essentially plays himself — a super brat — with perfect elan.
He is the prodigal son, who was thrown out of the family mansion by his father because of his sibling rivalry with his mentally challenged elder brother, Anil Kapoor. As a choir boy in Prague, he finds a soulmate in cellist Katrina Kaif, but cannot marry her since her dad (billionaire Boman Irani) doesn't approve of his impoverished situation.
Hoping to change his fortunes after the death of his dad, he rushes home to inherit the family millions, only to realise there's nothing left for him and his younger, equally roguish brother, Zayed Khan. Nerd Anil has been declared the sole heir, with sundry greedy relatives eyeing the moolah around him. Time for the dysfunctional family to outwit each other and split or to outsmart the outsiders and come together, once again....
Essentially a tale of three brothers, who rediscover their ties after hating each other for years, Yuvvraaj does have some fine moments of bonding between Salman and Anil. Zayed, however fails to connect and remains the outsider in this Trimurti, though surprisingly, Katrina does manage to hold her own in this bhai-bhai business. We do wish the duo (Katrina-Salman) had more time to set the screen on fire with their crackling chemistry, especially since all that we manage to get is a tantalising teaser with Katrina handcuffing a bare-chested Salman with her silken scarf. Kendi pump up the jam, janah!
On the flip side, the story hangs loosely in the middle and winds up in a mothballed climax, where old-fashioned baddies try to bump off the goofy Anil Kapoor who does an Eeshwar all over again. But Salman Khan and AR Rahman more than make up for the lapses, carrying you off on a sonata and a song. Watch Yuvvraaj for an in-fashion retro feel.
Yuvaraaj has released in Malaysia. :)
All songs are picturised well..
as an order i will rate like
Dilk rishtha,mastham mastham,tu meri dost hei,shano shano,
tu muskura,manmohini,zindagi zindagi..
As a BGM side there were two bits one happy birthday bit and another a african style dance bit..
And finally in end credits all the songs used in a remix style ..Its like a party with all are dancing..all the artists are appearing on the stage..ar rahman,gulzar,subash ghai,..etc..
Wow, ARR apearing on screen after long time. :swinghead:Quote:

YUVVRAJ MOVIE-REVIEW
http://www.freshnews.in/movie-review-yuvvraaj-99304
Yuvvraaj movie: Good entertainment. Go See It
went to see it, 9:00 AM show at Velocity,
without expecting much from
the movie, considering the recent shabby offerings of Ghai.
but, I was in for a surprise.
Yes, Subhash Ghai has done it. He has given a good movie. It is full of
entertainment. Nowhere you would bored. Though, it is not keeping you
hanging on the seat's edge like original Karz as there is no such
suspense in it, it is not going to make you clap on dialogues like
Kalicharan and Vishwanath, it is not making you to break into dance like
Khalnayak, still you would not look at your watch to find how much time
has passed and you wouldn't wish that it finishes soon and you go away
to your home.
Ghai has transformed drastically. It is a modern day picture. Full of
soft emotions and poetic romance.
Loosely knit around a family drama, but it was a great relief that there
is no melodrama, no tear-jerker. When he started showing all those oddly
described complicated family equations, all those villainous relatives,
all that Machiavellian planning for property, for a moment I got worried
that Ghai is back to his usual, torn, worn line, but, no. That part was
just a backdrop for the story and the film continued on its modern theme.
Money is spent like anything. Somewhere graphics special effects are
also there that look neat.
Cinematography is superb.
Katrina is shown as emotional, caring as well as intelligent. And that
is saying a lot for the leading lady on the silver screen nowadays. Her
presence makes the screen alive. No there is no vulgarity in it. Even
her so-hyped hot scene with Salman are also quite decent and naughty.
You can see the movie with family, with kids, with elders.
The second find of the film is Anil Kapoor. Compared to Taal's wordly
wise, get-what-i-want, pragmatic, realistic guy, here he goes to other
extreme playing a mentally retarded adult. But he did superb. Odd that
he was not given a lady pairing with him.
No, as was indicated by the storyline tips earlier, he is not a
connoisseur/ singer/ collector of classical music. He is just a normal,
exploited retarded man. Knowing that Salman is in music line, Anil goes
with Salman where Salman's music group finds a place for Anil's singing
and it comes out that he had a natural talent for classical singing.
Salman looks aged and even plump to the verge of appearing fat. Still,
he fitted in his role quite well. Earlier storyline tips indicated that
he promises to earn 40 billions in a few days to get married to Katrina,
but no, on knowing that his (salman's) billionaire dad is dead, Salman
sure of fetching a big enough share in the inheritance, makes the
commitment of becoming a billionaire in 40 days.
Zayed looks much younger, better, much classier than Salman though
Zayed's character wasn't develop with such finese.
Boman Irani, as Katrina's dad has done great. Natural comedy, various
phases of personality all are presented with great finesse.
Mithun Chakrovorty, as the family lawyer has also suited quite OK,
though nothing much was there for him to do.
I must say that even though there is no direct relation in the story
line of this film with Taxi No. 9-2-11, still the basic theme of
transformation brought in a a spoilt, cunning, worldy-wise, masti-seeker
brat (John in 9-2-11, and Salman and Zayed in Yuvvraaj) was shown much
better with a great natural finese in 9-2-11
And if you want to know about the song and music - he he he - This is
the best treatment given to ARR's music and BGM that I had seen in a
long time. Of course, there is no comparison with Shankar's and Mani's
treatment to our man's offering, still all songs are well, great,
superbly done. Beautiful picturisations of the songs also.
No song really is necessary for the loose story, still no song appears
boring, no song hinders the story. You would love to see the song and
would enjoy them all like anything.
The film starts with "Main Hoon Yuvvraaj" on Salman, Katrina. Yes, the
Salman intro and "Tu Meri Dost Hain" are in continuation. Beautifully
done. Katrina's part portrays poetic romance so well.
I am forgetting the sequence, but I think, then there is "Tu Muskura",
and "Mastam Mastam" on the two.
Then, Shano Shano has Zayed also.
Zindagi is primarily on Anil Kapoor and Katrina. yes, there is a small
triangle when Anil Kapoor feels love for Katrina, but Salman trashes it
soon and fast. Zindagi is in two parts.
Manmohini is also on Anil Kapoor singing in Salman/ Katrina troup's
rehearsal. This is shown even shorter than the tiny CD version, and the
remaining part is shown in the closing title I guess.
the climax is ""dil ka rishta pak jaane de" on stage on Anil Kapoor
where Katrina plays an instrument and Salman, Zayed also appear.
Closing title has Shano Remix, I guess. I haven't heard that much so not
sure. Or it could be a different long BGM having mixture of other songs
of the movie.
Please feel free to correct if something above is wrongly mentioned.
--
So, go see it, with anyone and everyone. You would all enjoy it.
Thanks Ghai sir. Keep it up.

I am so happy Yuvraaj is turning out to be a damp squib.
Right from the start I hated the music ( refer back in this thread) I still am finiding it hard to come to terms with the Meastro coming out with such a mediocre score for a MUSICAL, that too based on
' Western classical'.
Finally Rahman has falterred in a territory.
Yuvraaj is going to the trash along with Parasuram IMHO. Atleast Rahman will say Bye to Ghai from now on.
why would someone's failure make u happy? u can hate a movie. u can like a movie. w/e ur opinion. but to say that yuvraaj turning out bad makes you happy just shows that u have hatred for someone involved. grow up.Quote:

Wow! Never thought I would see Yuvvraaj and Parasuram mentioned in the same page. You seriously need to get a new set of ears.Quote:

Qiute honestly, from Day one Yuvraaj never found my favour. I tried so hard, countless hours on my iphone, ipod, computers, my home theater system, car. The Rishta song and manmohini were the only good ones for me. Beleive me I tried so hard, so many times.
I was so glad seeing all the good reviews when the audio came out. Now u guys can see all the negative reviews for the movie and music.
I dont care what you guys think. I was & am a Rahmaniac & will be a Rahmaniac, but at times a sour grape is sour, taste does vary! The oly reason for comparing yuvraaj and parasuram is as follows. I distinctly remember the gut wrenching feeling I had after listening to Parasuram, Yuvraaj takes me back in time! Sorry guys, but I speak my heart, thats what a Rahmaniac should do.
Let us move on to Ghajini and celebrate JA, Ada, JTYJN, sakarakatti and Slumdog Millionaire.
Tu muskura, manmohini, dil ka rista, zindagi are classics. u can never compare any album with this in the recent arr albums. many r sayin this is better than taal. trust me one can do an another yuvvraj. its an awesome albumQuote:

Let us not be like Vijay / Ajith fans, e are not mere fans, we are Rahmaniacs, we accept differences and opinions. Take a look at the ARRfas group all kind of reviews are posted, unlike any other fan sites which are rstricted to glorifying their Idols.
I can understand Movies point. The album has a sloppy feel when you listen to Shano/Remix/Mastam/ Zindagi sounds very southish. ARR has to seriously work on packing it right. Its right time to get rid of these remixes. IMO, ARR has done his job satisfactorily. Tu Muskura, DilRishta, Manmohini & Tu Mera Dost Hain. What more ARR can do with that white pumpkin like him and look at his cast salman-katrina-anil-zayed? That speaks ill in volume.
But Movies thats a hastily derived derrogatory statement to put Yuvraaj & Parasuram in the same place. Not atleast from you. We respect your opinion and we dont have problems in inviting negative criticism if its true. FH is not the place like Ajith/Vijay/Surya (i really dont know their groups) which is just glorifying their idols. You need to check tamil films forum at times to check the level of criticism (I have thrashed Vaaranam Aayiram) Even I have posted negative reviews SOK (3 songs), Sivaji, Sakkarakatti, Yuvraaj, Ada (Forgettable) for ex.
I agree musically, Taal is much superior than Kisna (just 2 songs not countable) & Yuvraaj. No Second thoughts!
Lets move on....
Well, Movies, im surprised " Tu Muskura" and " Tu Mera Dost Hain" didnt amaze u. i really think this 2 numbers r enough to make me forget Taal album. and then we have Manamohini and Dil Ka Rishta to back it up, which overall sums as a " Better album than Taal" , for me atleast....
The Shano Remix is very enjoyable... Mastam Mastam is another peppy number and ofcource, we have Shano Shano, another " Lakeer " kinda number.
but overall i think Yuvvraaj is a winner....
Tu Muskura is a number which can overshadow any of ARR's songs this year...... :)
yessssssssssss!yaaru enna sonnalum[we vut respect athers opinion] yuvvraj is the 4 me :yes: :victory: winner!Quote:

Wait a minute, what am I doing here, Ghajini ROCKSSS!
Yuvraj :clap: :clap: Musical treat :notworthy: :notworthy: The story was :hammer: :sigh2: It was about annan-thambi pasam..Subhash ghai has lost his Midas touch..Even technically the movie was only average...Zayed and Salman just cant act :twisted: Despite many flaws, its ARR, Katrina and Anil Kapoor who save Yuvraj..Anil kapoor was :rotfl: KAtrina was gorgeous...ARR songs really looked good on screen and it was picturized well..Watch out for ARR's special appearance towards the end 8-)
guys whats wrong with the shano remix....i loved it, i know it didn't mix with other songs in the album, but its a cool song...
anyway my pick from this album is tu muskura...im listening to this song every day a couple of times...the least is mastam...its feels like so simple for my hearing...the second after tu muskura is manmohini..WOW now this is what i call ARR MAGIc...
Musical Maestro's Notes On YUVVRAAJ
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...nts/16849.html
watched Yuvvraaj - hmmm, watchable :) .....its a good movie in the sense, a very simple plot and the screenplay moves like a novel.......but would have liked more depth in story and screenplay and some action in the story.....movie was pretty much still from 1st scene to last........and music binds love tag is not even touched :x there was no music in the story.........and the biggest disappointment was tu muskura and manmohini are clubbed into 1 song in the movie :x .......tu hi meri dost, shano, mastam, zindagi had good picturisation....dil ka rishta, tu muskura, manmohini were major sodhappals :oops: ..........
cast wise, i liked salman's acting and anil kapoor's ofcourse......katrina was just ok....rest were really passable
thalaivar comes in the end credits :bluejump: :bluejump:
:exactly: Anil brought the much needed humor...He's the most versatile actor in Bollywood..And maddy, Salman was awful...He and zayed were hamming all the way...Quote:

If I say, all arr fan groups suck with their positive reviews on every album and hyping them as the best ever arr album, I should have some proof. I should be a member of their groups or sites. If not, I should just shutup since it is not something that I know.
For e.g., ella tamilanum kena paya.. ippadi oru statement ah public forum la vachuttu, mathavan solla koodathunnu sonna advice ah ?
If you aren't part of their groups, you have no rights to comment on them. It is a public forum and advice is something you can hardly expect or bothered to get it from others here. </dig>
<dig> Anand, Emotional ah enna venumnaalum sollalaamaa.. How can he attack a group of people dedicating their time for their favorites ? Ivar inga irukkira maarithaanae avangalum.. Not all ajith / vijay fans praise their heroes everytime. You know that since you also visit TF section. If it is on the groups and websites, still I will beg to differ. I have seen all type of people in our group. If somebody needs some thing, I can even forward those messages. </dig>Quote:
