Yuva disappoints

Rediff: "Without having seen the film, I suspect Yuva's Tamil twin, Aayitha Ezhuthu, might do even better, if only because of more believable casting. Surya (who plays the Ajay Devgan character) has the youthfulness and that rare combination of strength and vulnerability to pull off the rebellious college student. Madhavan, who started off as a chocolate box hero, did an about turn with a tough-guy role in Run, and chalked up a superhit with a very believable turn. And Siddharth is just right for the happy go lucky youngster who undergoes a life changing experience. Another hook for Tamil audiences is the casting of that doyen among Tamil directors, Bharati Raja, in the role played in the Hindi version by Om Puri"
