Yodha 2024 Movie Review

Stars – Sidharth Malhotra, Raashi Khanna, Disha Patani

For fans of Darshan, this action-packed film intertwines romance and sentiment seamlessly. Director Omprakash Rao skillfully navigates the story of an Army captain entangled in the dangerous nexus of politics and crime. The film’s gripping script and dynamic storytelling captivate audiences throughout.

Special recognition is due to stunt masters Palaniraj and Ravivarma for their outstanding action sequences, which serve as a major highlight of the movie.

The plot follows Ram (Darshan), an Army captain, who intervenes to rescue Asha (Nikhita), a college student, from the clutches of the corrupt politician Patil (Ashish Vidyarthi) who attempts to assault her. Despite Ram’s heroic actions, he finds himself court-martialled for his vigilantism and returns to his family.

However, Patil remains relentless in his pursuit to eliminate Ram, employing the services of notorious criminals Jairaj and Kote Manja. Ram swiftly dispatches both adversaries, further enraging Patil, who takes it as a personal challenge to eliminate him. The tension escalates as the conflict between Ram and Patil reaches its climax.

Darshan delivers a stellar performance, complemented by Nikhita’s portrayal of Asha. Ashish Vidyarthi excels in his role as the menacing politician. The music by Hamsalekha features several memorable tunes, enhancing the overall experience.

While the cinematography by K M Vishnuvardhan is adequate, it is the gripping narrative and compelling performances that truly drive the film forward.
