Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews (RECOMMENDED 61% )
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Indicine - Zayden
For the most part of this 160 minute long film, Ayan Mukherji manages to tidy the languid script up with his dialogues, even though they are ol’ skool. The film lingers along but the hefty cinemtography makes you not feel the length of the film. Ayan deals with old Hindi film stereotypes here, but we seldom feel we are watching something we have already seen before, because his treatment is young. Having said that, after delivering such a fresh film on his debut, a ‘different’ story was expected from him. This lack of newness might bother a few, though.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Bollywood Hungama - Taran Adarsh
It's pretty evident that Ayan wants to offer that something extra beyond a love story. The conflict in this plot has nothing to do with parental pressures or social disagreements. The issue that the characters face is very real, extremely relevant and reflects the mindset of those living in a metropolis. But scratch the exterior -- beneath the fun quotient, the song and dance routine -- Ayan takes up some serious issues, albeit in a subtle way, that envelope the human emotions brilliantly.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Koimoi - Mohar Basu
Ayan has extreme conviction on his story and that is what makes Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani so immensely captivating. The man who debuted with Wake Up Sid has managed to sustain his honesty in times when scripts reek of shallowness. Ranbir’s intoxicating quest and hunger to travel and explore grips the audiences, bringing alive a part from each of their souls through the film. Wonderful frames and decadent music, along with some breathtaking performances makes the film worthwhile.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Rediff - Raja Sen
There’s a zingy energy to the uptempo proceedings, the lead actors are at their most electrifying, and the sheer, heady enthusiasm is deliriously grand. Even the greatest heroine in all the land merrily shakes her caboose. It’s huge fun.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By The Times Of India - Meena Iyer
The first twenty minutes of the second half is mundane. But the action comes together again at Aditi's wedding. Against the backdrop of the big, fat Indian wedding in picturesque Udaipur, the friends unite for the festivities. But the chinks in the armour show by way of their mixed ideologies and changed priorities. Of course there's no battle big enough that friendship cannot surmount. So, between tears and cheers, Bunny, Naina, Aditi and Avi forge equations that are more real with one another and with the audience.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By DNA India -Tushar Joshi
The first half is easy breezy and a lot of time is spent developing the interpersonal chemistry between these four characters. Length is a major issue with the film, but if you let that pass then Mukherjee's vision and delivery is flawless. Maybe the second half needed to be tighter, or the songs edited better, regardless of how it could have been, what we see on screen is so 2013 and fresh that it makes everything else look dated. YJHD is a well written film that should be watched for its direction, treatment and some remarkable performances.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By NDTVMovies - Saibal Chatterjee
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a mix of Dil Chahta Hai and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, with dollops of 3 Idiots thrown in for good measure. It is all served up in a Karan Johar-style concoction where the backdrops – both indoors and the locations – are infinitely more expressive than the inner worlds of the young characters.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Zeenews - Ananya Bhattacharya
As far as the story is concerned, Ayan Mukerji’s second attempt is a decent enough one. ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ is brilliant in its moments – disjointed ones, at that. The one, for example, when Bunny and Naina shout from the top of the ‘haunted peak’ deserves a pat on the back. The candid father-son moments between Farooq Sheikh and Ranbir Kapoor, too, melt the heart. However, the screenplay takes a turn towards being predictable in the latter half of the film. There aren’t many twists – not any, for that matter – and one might feel one’s attention swaying after a point of time. Somewhat crisper editing could have saved the film from lagging in the bits where it does.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Bollywood Life - Deboshree Ghosh
Deepika Padukone is raising her bar with every film. She portrays a geek in this one, the kind of girl every guy doesn’t simply flirt with but falls in love too, as Ranbir Kapoor says in his romantic baritone in one of the scenes. And this studious chick is the typical and stylish Dharma Production nerd who looks good in her bespectacled avatar with blow-dried hair and feminine outfits. She’s like a Hindi film hero – who along with knowing the lyrics of Chumma Chumma by heart, can also give a sweet little monologue on the fundamentals of Biology.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Indian Express - Shubhra Gupta
Ayan Mukherji had debuted in 2009 with Wake Up Sid starring Ranbir Kapoor, and that was a coming-of-age-of-urban-slacker-romance with some nuance. Here, he throws spikiness to the winds, and gives us glitter. Which is fine up to a point. Who doesn't like to see shiny, happy people doing shiny, happy things? But then when you start wanting more, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani gets into its long length of templates and tropes. That high-on-energy Ranbir shake-shake Badtameez Dil had my foot tapping, but hey, we know he's a good dancer. So what's new?
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Movietalkies - Shivom Oza
Buddy comedy, coming-of-age drama, travel adventure, marriage extravaganza, familial melodrama and multiple love triangles - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani mixes up too many elements. There are quite a few sparkling moments in the film. The equations between several characters have been showcased brilliantly. However, owing to some implausible side-plots and the never-ending-length, the film leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Glamsham - Martin D'Souza
After a long time, Deepika Padukone manages to hold her own. As the sedate, studious girl, she is first rate. Later, when she continues her friendship on a platonic level with Bunny, even though she is longing for him, there is a lot of depth. Ranbir is his exuberant self, portraying the joys of youth with gay abandon. For the two to pull off a super performance tells a lot of their maturity, both as actors and as ordinary human beings. After all, it is not easy to get cozy on screen when your personal break-up has been national news.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Rediff - Sukanya Verma
It’s a good call by the young filmmaker since it certainly helps the emotionality during the second phase of their affinity, which has an underlining philosophy of true love bringing out the best in a person. Of course, since the events take place around a fancy Udaipur wedding (where you actually see brief glimpses of the extent of preparation that goes in high-society festivities), the leading quartet finds more reasons to party.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Nowrunning - Mansha Rastogi
Despite its tripe plot, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani keeps you engaged majorly because of the performances of each and every actor and also the screenplay of Ayan Mukerji. There isn't an iota of doubt in the fact that both Ranbir and Deepika make an exception pair onscreen. Their chemistry is absolutely delightful and keeps you glued.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Mumbai Mirror - Karan Anshuman
The film itself doesn't move ahead except for a time jump between the halves. It stays within the quadrangle of its leads and the characters in their orbits. Often there is more to the philosophy of the film than what meets the eye, but it is often masked or nullified by booming Bollywood elements.
It is only in the second half that a plot kicks in and the real conflict finally takes shape about 15 minutes from the end. It's too late to touch you in a way it could've.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Sify - Aparanjeetha Sambandan
But it's Ranbir's performance, groovy moves and smart-alec comments that see us through the movie. And if the first-day first-show audience is anything to by, it's strictly for college freshers and teenagers. The title does keep its promise with young stars as its face complete with a catchy soundtrack. But behind that veneer is something a tad preachy that tells us aging is all about slowing down and suggests we try and stick to smelling roses that grow only in our garden.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Mid-Day India - Shubha Shetty-Saha
But wait, it is Deepika Padukone who finds her place in the sun, in one or two scenes even managing to steal the thunder from Ranbir. Naina of the second half of 'YJHD' reminds one a bit of 'Love Aaj Kal’s Meera. Deepika’s well-sketched character and performance is just like the movie, slow, self-confident and not in a hurry to prove anything. Their crackling chemistry is palpable. The movie also boasts of some of the most poignant moments that we have seen in Hindi films, accessorised by wonderful dialogues (Hussain Dalal).
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Dailybhaskar - Mayank Shekhar
These characters belong perhaps to the first Indian middle class generation that truly has the choice to either marry early, late or never, with or without parental consent. This is also, I guess, the first generation that can choose to work for someone forever or just start something of their own, and lose it all – if at all. Earlier, this was a privilege allocated only to the super-rich.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By India Today - Vinayak Chakravorty
If Ranbir Kapoor has come to define GenNow Bollywood for most, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is packaged almost entirely around its hero. At the same time a rom-com, a road movie and a coming-of-age trip, Ayan's new film should keep its target audience - the urban multiplex crowd - happy.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Deccan Chronicle - Khalid Mohamed
Now, going strictly by have-fun-think-later (if you must) matrix of Bollywood entertainers, Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani…, swankily designed by Dharma Productions, is likeable, especially for its reflective moments, the frisson between its lead pair and above all, the bright and bouncy performances. Ranbir Kapoor once again asserts that he’s incapable of delivering a disappointing performance. He’s pitch perfect. And Deepika Padukone is also first-rate, as she uses her eyes and a rare smile, to articulate volumes.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By ApunKaChoice - Nikhil Kumar
It’s the leading pair Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone who rise above a cliché-riddled screenplay and deliver film-saving performances. Ranbir’s Bunny is played with jauntiness and leashed intensity that the character -- a vivacious, flirtatious, commitment-phobe -- demanded. Deepika Padukone makes a better fist of her bespectacled, scholarly Naina who discovers an adventurous streak in her erudite self but musters not the courage to express her love to the man she steals glances at. It’s a complex character played with understanding rather than blind passion. For that Deepika surely stands out of the lot in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. She’s coming of age as an actress.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Indiaglitz - Vishal Verma
The characters seems to grow and transform as the film progress.. Ayan tells us the story in a stylishly tender way bringing gentleness, warmth and lightheartedness to the film. The camaraderie between the friends is tremendous and the chemistry between Rambir and Deepika is piping hot..
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Wogma - Pradeep Menon
With a run time of 2 hours and 45 minutes and the fact that the film doesn’t really have anything new to say, the film isn’t likely to be universally loved. Still, it is the kind of film you wouldn’t attempt to find too much fault with, because of how it stays clear of getting annoying or overly predictable, even if you largely know which direction you are being led to. Not a particularly bad way to spend a few hours of your life, though I’d take Wake Up Sid over YJHD any day of the week, and twice on a Friday.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By IBNLive - Rajeev Masand
Ranbir Kapoor turns on the charm in full heartthrob mode. He's pitch-perfect as the devil-may-care wanderer and flirt, and yet chokes you up in the more vulnerable, sensitive flashes. It's difficult to stand out in the same frame as Ranbir, but Deepika Padukone knocks it out of the park as Naina. She brings a lovely innocence to the early scenes, and then an understated sexiness when we meet her again in the film's second half. The pair sparks off each other, displaying a searing chemistry that neither has shared with other co-stars.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Bollyspice - Bodrul Chaudhury
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani does provide entertainment, break-taking cinematography and a fresh concept to Hindi Cinema with regards to the theme of the 21st century youth. Yet the script could have been strengthened to a certain extent in order to make the story more intense and gripping. Having said this, don’t be deterred from watching a very graciously made film that has various positive qualities to it. It is a film that will not only appeal to today’s Indian and South Asian youth, but also the diaspora.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Movie Reviews By Hindustan Times - Anupama Chopra
What we don’t get is parental opposition. This is 2013 and that’s just too old-school. Instead, writer-director Ayan Mukerji gives an internal conflict. Bunny, played by Ranbir Kapoor, is an adrenalin-junkie. When Naina, played by Deepika Padukone, asks him what he wants from life, he replies: pagalpan. This is not a man willing to settle, as he puts it, for the dal-chawal of marriage, children, home and hearth.
