Youngistaan movie review


Youngistaan is directed by the debutante Sayed Ahmad Afzal and is the last movie in which the legendary actor Farooq Shaikh acted. He died while the movie was in pre-production stage. The movie has Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma in lead roles and is a romantic drama set against the political background. Now, let's take a look at the story and the movie review.

Plot Outline
Abhimanyu Kaul (Jackky Bhagnani) lives in Japan with his girlfriend Anvita (Neha Sharma) and works as a video games designer. But soon his life is turned upside down when his father (Boman Irani) who is Prime Minister of India dies, leaving behind Abhimanyu as the most eligible candidate to succeed him. He becomes country's youngest prime minister and starts' implementing many good youth centric policies. However, in his personal life he struggles with his new job as he and his live-in girlfriend finds it tough to handle media coverage.

Actor Performance
Jacky Bhagnani has fared well in this moved.
Youngistaan movie can even be termed as his best performance till date. However, his leading lady Neha Sharma looks bit short in the acting department. Late Farooq Shaik who plays the role of prime minister's secretary is once again brilliant. This is the kind of performance which will be missed after untimely demise of the cultured actor.

Positive points
The pace of the movie is very good which keeps you interested till the end. The love story is perfectly blended in the political scenario by the director.

Negative Points
It doesn't seem credible that a young man who has zero political experience is made prime minister of the country. There are many things shown in the movie which defy normal human logic, but then most of the Bollywood directors have made their habit to defy it.

Verdict
Youngistaan is a light-hearted romantic movie which youth might find interesting to watch. A one time watch.

Sandhira movie review rating– 2.5/5
