The humor/liveliness also dries up after a point and one feels that the first half - which commenced with lively and funny moments - could've been succinct by at least 10/15 minutes. Also, Himansh's cousin being attacked by members of the Australian team lacks conviction. If one were to pinpoint the deficiencies, the romance between the professors appears forced in the narrative. The first half of YAARIYAN has its moments of fun, although the narrative tends to go astray at times.
Of course, the premise of YAARIYAN is dissimilar and so are the character sketches. YA JAANE NA, 3 IDIOTS and STUDENT OF THE YEAR, since there are faint echoes of such acclaimed films in her maiden endeavor. In fact, it won't be erroneous to state that YAARIYAN attempts to pay tribute to that phase of an individual's life.Įvidently, Divya Khosla Kumar seems to be an ardent fan of movies such as JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, JAANE TU. Divya Khosla Kumar attempts to encapsulate that period through the lead characters of her movie. When life is yet to throw challenges towards you. When one is well ensconced in the dreamy world. I genuinely believe that the teenage years are the best phase of your life. While there are the expected ups, downs and betrayals, what triumphs in the end is friendship, as the title suggests. The deal is that in order to save the college, the Indian students should outdo their Australian counterparts in the test of physical and mental abilities. The question that crosses your mind is, is YAARIYAN equally big in terms of content? Let's evaluate.įirst, the plot! The film starts with the college principal summoning five students, handing them the responsibility of saving the college campus from a foreign hotelier who intends making a resort. Reason: While the principal cast boasts of freshers, the making, opulence and splendor is at par with any mega-budget film attempted in Bollywood. YAARIYAN, which marks the directorial debut of Divya Khosla Kumar, stands out from films of its ilk.
Post the super-success of STUDENT OF THE YEAR, helmed by Karan Johar and AASHIQUI-2, helmed by Mohit Suri, which was a game changer, several studios as well as reputed raconteurs are executing qualitative projects with fresh faces. Instead, she chose to cast rank newcomers in principal roles - a move that raised eyebrows. So when Divya - the wife of the head honcho of T-Series - decided to make a feature-film, everyone expected her to start with top of the line stars/creme-de-la-creme in her maiden venture. Besides directing several videos, she has also acted in a big-budget film starring A-list actors. Divya Khosla Kumar is no stranger to the entertainment industry.
