This film is a disappointment if you go with the expectations created by Yash's most recent films.
The pre-interval part of the film is a comical feast. Yash's character Yuva wants to be a real-life villain and the incidents woven into the story does the job well. The college elections and MLA election sequences are good. Chikkanna is the toast and emerges as the major contributor to the entertainment. Films cannot do without a 'heroine' and the romantic angle between Yash and Shanvi Srivastava too has some fresh scenes. In between, there are some good dancing songs and bone-crushing stunts.
And, yes, all this is a flashback that Yash's mother (Suhasini) is narrating. She wanted him to be like Bhagat Singh, Veer Savarkar and Chandrashekar Azad but he has turned into a rowdy.
The film could have continued as a rom-com but Ravishankar awakes on a hospital bed at interval and you know there are more fights to follow. The rest of the film is about how Yuva becomes a moder-day Bhagat Singh. The post-interval film comes a cropper as it drags on a predictable path. The climax does a little bit to salvage the numbness created by the blaring horns of the background score and meandering plot.
Conclusion: Achyuth Kumar makes a good impression with his Muslim-Kannada diction and Dattatreya is natural in just the one scene he appears. The rest of the actors could exist only on screen. Even if you expected only entertainment, the fantasy works in parts. There are the good songs, eye-candy locales and the chest-thumping dialogues. All this works with those enamoured by Yash, the rest can chill somewhere else.
