Based on the French film Les Lyonnais (2011), Yaara is well adapted by Tigmanshu Dhulia - an avant-garde storyteller of the present times - to suit Indian sensibilities and the film will have you on edge of the seat as it unfolds.
Yaara is engaging in most parts. It starts off strong enough and keeps the momentum going till the end, though, of course, it goes back and forth at times and that could get a bit confusing. The viewer ought to stay alert and watch the goings-on carefully. As Yaara moves ahead, the narrative vacillates between engrossing and not-too-captivating moments. It also gets talk-heavy at times. The climax could've been more impactful. Also, the concept is too urbane. Tigmanshu Dhulia's dialogue is plain ordinary. The plot takes time to come to the point. But Yaara, in totality, is a well-crafted, well-executed film with the ensemble cast pitching in competent performances.
Siddharth Pandit, Ankit Tiwari, Shaan and Gourov Dasgupta-Roshin Balu's music is another asset. Cinematography (Rishi Punjabi) is first-rate. The look of the film is consistently brilliant. The background score (Clinton Cerejo) is exceptional. Each and every frame seduces you into the world that director Tigmanshu Dhulia recreates so delightfully.
The hard work and expertise of director Tigmanshu Dhulia are echoed by the entire star cast of Yaara. Not just the title leads, but each and every actor delivers top-notch performances. Vidyut Jammwal is simply outstanding. Amit Sadh is commanding yet again. Vijay Varma is in top form. Kenny Basumatary, Anuraag Pandey and Mohommed Ali Shah and Shruti Haasan pitch in terrific performances. Shreya Narayan, Sanjai Mishra and Ankur Vikal may not have many lines to deliver, but they do make their presence felt.
To sum up, Yaara may not be Tigmanshu Dhulia's finest work, but it has moments that prove his supremacy as a storyteller and his effort needs to be lauded. Watch it on for the intriguing characters and terrific performances!

First fall when a make a movie with lot of efforts of team director actor and lot of staff. I not give a bad words but I personally don't like storyline. Movie was little slow. This is period film but some short in modern word like characters in 1950-1970 and meet a friend after 20 years that means1990. in this movie like now days. Otherwise all movie pretty enough sorga decent searing screenplay good.
Vidyut Jammwal should play Rambo

Poor Story without too much action
mayank-813-3786812 August 2020
I watch Vidyut's movie to watch action but this flick does not have much except a few scenes in which he did full justice. But the poor part is the story of the movie, a common basic theme of friendship. Well Vidyut, Amit and the other 2 friends of them acted well and as usual Shruti Hasan was not able to act. I would say if you don't have anything to watch, you can see this.
MEDIOCRE

I was expecting a lot from this Tigmanshu Dhulia starrer Yaara, but I was really disappointed after watching the movie. It's not that the movie is too bad. It has it's moments but, it's only a few, and works only in parts. Amit Sadh was the only shining star in this otherwise mediocre action thriller. Even Vidyut Jamwal and Vijay Verma were too monotonous. Though, Kenny Basumatary was a surprise package. We always debate about insiders vs outsiders, but, we also need to understand that this is the entertainment industry and if you cannot perform well, it becomes difficult for producers to cast somebody Continuosly for a long period of time. Vidyut Janwal truly deserves a good script, which would do justice to his talent and would showcase him as an abled actor.
A solid film.

Yaara is an action-packed, intense story of friendship, betrayal and crime. It's good to see Vidyut Jammwal play a character than can be remembered for both action as well as acting skills. It's not just him, but also Amit Sadh, Vijay Varma, Kenny Basumatary and Shruti Haasan who complete the film and deliver memorable performances. The film is a little longer than 2 hours but the story being layered makes the film feel like a very long one indeed! The film is full of raw action sequences; gunfights are in plenty and there's also some cool "Vidyut" action as expected from him. The visual appeal is high and the production values seem nice. One and only issue is that there are too many songs; some of them come just after one is over! The only reason I excuse that is because they're all background songs with either some important scene or flashback going on. There are also some good twists injected into the story. All in all, Yaara is an exciting action drama that is a must watch for fans of any of the leading actors or this genre.
Summary of the movie
ayushkrsng5 August 2020
Movie is boring and direction is also bad.......Amit Sadh and Vidyut Jamwal should choose better script or better director.....it could have been a disaster movie ....ssr sympathy wave saved you this time....... giving you 6 star so that you don't feel demoralised
Absolute garbage. Ignore the paid 10 stars...

Watch only for VJ
Normal story line. We already watch some movie basd on this story like gunday.
Their are some point that could be make realistic but didn't it. In climax when VJ is in Romania and around actions are too irrelevant or unrealistic.
But outsider of bollywood actor is movie is best.
One time watch.
Waste of time

At least they tried..
ayushagrawaldev31 July 2020
We have to appreciate the efforts they put into a not so great storyline. At least they made it real enough, the movie is free from irrational melodrama. Still, something is missing and I guess its Anurag Kashyap's name which was missing. Bt I liked it and punctured tire during a bank robbery is lit AF.
Waste of time

waste of time.
vikasbadaun31 July 2020
The most funny thing in the film was a bank robbery sequence, where you do not see any public, except the actors, the Tyre puncture and shooting stuff was so unauthentic. the story progresses poorly and you get bore easily
