Yodha Movie Review: Things soon turn sour as Sidharth Malhotra goes all out in the rescue operation, which ends on a pacifist note in the heart of our neighboring country.
If there’s still any doubt in one’s mind, being patriotic out loud is the surest route to washing away one’s past sins: In the airplane hijacking drama produced by Sidharth Malhotra, produced by Dharma Productions, even the rescue flares are ‘Tiranga’ Releases three shades of ‘. , clap clap. 
Sidharth Malhotra plays the role of Arun Katyal, a soldier in the Yodha unit that has been assembled to make things right every time they go wrong. And as far as the writers of this movie are concerned, if you’re on an airplane, things are guaranteed to go downhill. After a very rough first round, our heroes get a chance to set things right, and the poor passengers are once again harassed (the plane turns upside down, gasp), the bad guys have beards and Muslim names. Let’s say, the destination is Islamabad, and the plan is to (double gasp) derail the peace process between India and Pakistan, yes, you guessed it.
You can accuse me of letting all the cats out of the bag, but I just can’t keep myself from seeing these amazing details of this totally hairy venture for so long: I mean, have you seen not just one but two planes? Have you seen it? The carpets are just waiting to be pulled aside and a flap can be easily lifted for passengers to go up and down the hold? No? Didn’t think.
And then the film offers a twist by saying look, look, we’re not fanatics; Some Pakistanis are good people; Only those dangerous terrorists are responsible for this. While using bombs to blow things up the main villain says – ‘What will happen to us if there is peace?’, or words to that effect.
But do not worry. Our warrior is bravely bearing the scars of his failure in professional and personal spheres. Separation from spouse-cum-top bureaucrat (Raashi Khanna) is a pain that can’t be scratched, even as he goes all out in a rescue operation, dealing with a petite air-hostess (Disha Patani), Who’s hiding something, and a rookie pilot in the hot-seat, and ends on a pacifist note right in the middle of our neighboring country.
You might not be able to escape this cartoonish rigmarole, but our warrior, right off the bat, comes up with the best line of the film: I’m the hero of this picture. clap clap.
In a hijacking situation, the plane’s head purser (Disha Patani) struts around like a catwalk model until she’s ready to show her true colors and jump into action. The first officer in the cockpit also has plans that take the hero by surprise. There are numerous fights in the aisles, lavatories and cargo holds, even as the aircraft loses altitude and goes off course. Click here
And on board the plane is a trainee – he claims to have 200 hours of flying experience – who is forced to take control of the plane as the crisis escalates. Don’t try to put two and two together because everything the warrior collects doesn’t really add up to anything.
It’s too much to expect Sidharth Malhotra to dig this mess out. He jumps, runs, punches, fires in all directions and holds his position as chaos erupts around him – it’s mostly of his own making – but the actor manages to escape with warrior-like chaos. Can’t get up.
As for the rest of the cast, they follow every step of the way. Nothing can be seen from his face. Is this the indifference of the brave? No, it’s a sign that like the audience, they too are ignorant.
