Every country has its special forces, and I'm sure every nation on Earth likes to think that theirs are a bit more special than most. Yodha seems to be the Indian version of the SAS (whether they really are, or were made up for the film, I don't know).

Just about every film about special services centres round an inividual who's jolly good at killing bad guys, but whose disregard of protocol annoys his superiors. Then an operation goes wrong (not our hero's fault, but he's conveniently placed to take the blame). He's suspended.

Then the film moves to the main event. Our hero is drawn into something really big. Not only that, he's set up to make it look as though he's gone rogue, so that even his former comrades are out to get him. Yada, yada yada, shoot-out, big explosion, guess who saves the day and is reinstated?

It's a tried and trusted formula, which needs a certain amount of style to lift it out of the very ordinary. James Bond has this style; John Wick has this style; Arnie had it in his earlier films. Yodha doesn't.

The fight scenes are well-choreographed, but the pulse doesn't race. The twists aren't too difficult to see coming; the hero's relationship problems are a yawn.

This isn't a bad film, but it's formulaic, predictable and - for all its action sequences - pedestrian. Oh, and the villain's disappointingly short on charisma.

This is also the first film I've seen that had an actual interval in the cinema since Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Wow, did "Yodha" ever deliver! Directed by the dynamic duo of Pushkar Ojha and Sagar Ambre, this movie throws Sidharth Malhotra into a whirlwind of action sequences that are both exhilarating and surprisingly fresh for Indian cinema. The narrative might utilize some familiar genre tropes, but "Yodha" injects a whole new energy level that keeps you riveted to the screen from the opening scene.

The film thrives on a breakneck pace. Each scene throws you right into the heart of the action, eschewing lulls and propelling you forward. The directors are masters at building suspense, with each plot twist ratcheting up the tension. Even when things veer towards predictability, "Yodha" manages to surprise and keep you on the edge of your seat.

The undeniable chemistry between Malhotra and Rashi Khanna adds another layer of depth to the story. You can't help but become invested in their journey, rooting for them as they confront danger together. Their camaraderie and connection become an anchor amidst the high-octane action.

The movie's one minor stumble lies with the supporting cast. The Yodha task force, with its intriguing name, promises a compelling team dynamic. However, the film doesn't provide enough opportunities to delve into their backstories or motivations. Exploring their backgrounds could have added another layer of intrigue, but perhaps the relentless pacing simply didn't allow for it.

Despite this minor drawback, "Yodha" is a thrilling rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. The plot is tightly constructed, with the action sequences serving not just as spectacle but also as plot drivers. The over-the-top climax leaves a lasting impression, solidifying the film's place as a must-watch for pure adrenaline junkies.

After a compelling film like "Shaitaan" last week, "Yodha" marks another strong start to the cinematic calendar, promising audiences an adrenaline-fueled ride they won't soon forget.

Yodha a name that in itself inspires magnetism and people fill the Hall with an expectation of an action packed drama. The film stands up on this measure, it is filled with actions scenes but the makers in their over eagerness have tried to fit all the action plot points that can happen in this amalgamation. Often viewers question the logic and rationality behind the scene. Often the villains and their goons perform stupid actions only for explosive glamour. Often Siddharth Malhotra utters a dialogue which he believes will be a sensation only for it to fall flat and forgettable. Forgettable and predictable can aptly describe the plot and though there are silver linings that account for surprise, mirth and excitement , they are too far few to engross the viewer and hush conversations in the hall. Such plots without fail entice conversations on their veracity, feasibility and practicality.

Don't raise your expectations for this recent addition to the lineup of patriotic action films. While Yodha may not soar to the heights of a Shershaah, this Sidharth Malhotra starrer manages to engage and take audiences on a ride through a predictable yet gripping hijacking scenario. The film offers a decent ride for fans of the genre, with enough action and intrigue to keep audiences engaged throughout its runtime.

The first half navigates its storyline with a fair share of exciting moments and twists. While the mid-air stunts deliver the anticipated adrenaline rush, the plot struggles to maintain the same level of engagement. One of the film's strengths lies in its editing, ensuring a tight narrative that never feels stretched despite its turbulence. The background score seamlessly complements the genre, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Sidharth Malhotra, in his uniform-clad avatar, with his striking presence delivers a commendable performance, particularly in the action sequences. Raashii Khanna and Disha Patani, add their own flavors to the mix, with Raashii initially impressive but her character was not written well, while Disha shines brighter in the latter half of the film. Sunny Hinduja also deserves a nod for his confident portrayal, though other supporting actors deliver just passably.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Action 3.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 3/5.

Plot/Storyline - there would literally be 500+ movies made in Hollywood and about 100 in Bollywood, but based on an assumption that most people dont use logic Directorand storytellers have used even a bit of logic and emotional melodrama is just icing on the cake Keep a headache pill handy.

Sidharth Malhotra - he is not a solidier in the movie he has played a superhero who can dodge bullets from 2 meter distance and ofcourse he can kill many people with his bare hands. He just wouldn't die whatever terrorists do. Malhotra lacks expressions he is better off as a model. Can't say more than that.. Rasshi Khanna is horrible as a task force chief, not at all commanding as a chief should be..looks more like a school teacher. She is weak and emotional in the entire movie Her subordinate is her husband which is a conflict of interest.

Story : The story of the movie is quite good. Not so good and not so bad.

Screenplay : The entire movie is good except for the climax scene. There are some illogical and unrealistic scenes.

The action scene during the 360 degree turn of the plane was amazing.

Not everyone's performance was good. Music is very bad Background score - Needless to say Movie length - Another five to ten minutes of scenes could have been cut Negative point : The climax scene in the movie is completely unrealistic and illogical

Entertainment was somewhat lacking in the movie. There are much better movies to watch than this one.

Creating fiction can be challenging, especially when it follows the typical Bollywood formula of making a movie on these days single line against a particular area.

Hidden away from the world lies a national masjid, unknown to most especially to the inhabitants.

Dharma Productions, yet again, attempts to promote their actor, who has remained stagnant in portraying only a single facial expression since the beginning.

While the movie's premise had potential, it was marred by an absurd and ridiculous third act, filled with so many twists that even the Mastan brothers would be perplexed by its conclusion.

From the onset, it's evident that the director has drawn inspiration from numerous films but lacks the skill to execute them effectively. In one scene, a sniper inexplicably reveals his position, and his weapon inexplicably changes from a sniper rifle to an assault rifle. The subsequent action sequences fail to impress.

Overall, the film is nonsensical and a waste of time.

Usual story ,predictable twist and turns yet presented in a Fast paced manner with Plenty of Well Choreographed Actions to enjoy

Engaging Background Score and good Cinematography and pretty decent VFX works

siddharth malhotra proving the point that he got the Capabilities and Skills to become Strong Action star of Bollywood !

Rest of the cast is ok ,songs are good !

I don't mind the illogical or cliché story plot ,it all covered up by excellent Actions and Thrills and Energetic siddharth malhotra !

Sometimes actions are enough to keep us enagaged to screen !

If you love good actions ,go and watch this one in big screens !

The movie is fast moving and full of action. The action actually wins over the weak and unbelievable plot. The editing is so taut, that there is no scope for boredom. Stunts are impressive and the VFX, especially aerial are fairly good. What is refreshing is the absence of the typical Dharma Production song and dance, and unlike many, I feel the music was part of the plot without disrupting the film flow. The stunning visuals of Kashmir and Ladakh are an added attraction, with a great view of Central Delhi. The cinematography is absorbing.

Though most of the story is unbelievable (all MI movie plots are unbelievable) but this movie has many technical suggestions vis-a-vis a hijack, which are perhaps, achievable and therefore, unsettling.

The reason for the rating is the absence and ineffectiveness of the Indian and Pakistani Elite Forces. Unfortunately, because of hyper nationalism, the Pakistani SSG, Black Storks and Maroon Berets who are also well trained and ranked 8th among world elite forces, have been shown to be completely ineffective and even if the character of Arun, played by Siddharth Malhotra is part of something like Special Group (4 Vikas), the character in the second half has been shown to be larger than life and almost "Rambo-like" in the major showdown. Which is unfortunate as the first half actually managed to establish Arun as human and his failures as part of life. Also absent from the showdown are the SPG in charge of Indian PM security. The best parts are the female antagonists vs male fight scenes. The physical action is well choreographed and believable. Alas, the third and last scene of the movie involving the tri-colour smoke grenade is so over the top, visually, that it spoils everything.

This is the first time I am writing a review and its because of the 6 rating I saw for this movie. This movie has no character building, it just starts suddenly with the plot. The actors expressions are just so bland, no emotions at all. Even the first scene of the flight all the characters look so fake. The dialogue delivery is as bad as it can get. The hero creates a fire on the plane & yet the plane took off and returned without any issues.

First time I saw a movie with Sidharth Malhotra and he was damn flat in his acting and dialogue delivery. The only reason why this movie has got high rating is because of a certain group of people in India who are hyper nationalist and they have given this movie a high rating.

But in all honesty avoid this film, its just too bad.

Sidharth's acting his presence was worth watching.... His acting was good ...Action packed movie it will not bore you at all. It will give good action satisfaction ..... Go and watch it... Energy level of the story is good.... Story is typical but action is full packed and it will not bore u at all...Disha patani did justice to her role...Sidharth has been quite unlucky in case of box office but his movies has been good...I hope this movie will be a comeback to his box office career ... He really is hard working and I hope this time box office favors him.... He really deserves it...Movie is very good and action packed..

It may not have done well at the box office, but it will definitely do well in the hearts of his fans. Sid is back with another political/thriller/action type of movie. He has definitely found his niche after the massive success of shershah and i dont blame him for trying to rack up a few movies from this genre onto his resume. He does what is expected of him, and he does it well. He has come a long way from soty. Disha is the suprise package in this and with some meatier roles, she has a good change of becoming the queen bee in a few years. Rashi khanna is irrelevant in her role. There are a few good action sequences and some supense, the later half of the movie drags a bit but overall a good effort and a fun watch.

Poor direction,story,Unless you're a die-hard fan of Malhotra with a penchant for unintentionally hilarious action films, avoid Yodha at all costs. You're better off watching paint dry, or re-watching a classic Bollywood flick. This one will leave you feeling more hijacked than the passengers on that doomed plane.

Honestly, there's not much to redeem Yodha. The supporting cast is wasted (looking at you, Disha Patani and Raashii Khanna), the plot holes are big enough to fly a plane through, and the ending is as satisfying as a stale samosa.

The story starts confusing, throws us into a messy first half, and never quite recovers. We have a disgraced soldier, Arun (Sidharth Malhotra, looking appropriately stoic), suspected of orchestrating a plane hijacking. But is he a rogue or a misunderstood hero? The answer, when revealed, is as predictable as a Bollywood dance sequence.

The production of "Yodha 2024" began in late 2021, with a clear vision to create a film that stands out in the action thriller genre.

The dedication of the cast and crew, coupled with the meticulous direction, is evident in every frame of the movie.

For those looking to download "Yodha 2024," it's important to ensure that you're using legitimate platforms that respect the hard work of the filmmakers. This section can guide readers on how to download the movie legally.

"Yodha 2024" is more than just a movie; it's an experience that takes you through the journey of a soldier fighting against all odds. It's a film that deserves to be watched and appreciated for its contribution to Indian cinema.

Go watch hollywood movie NON STOP of the legendary actor Liam Neeson. After getting disappointed with Fighter (copied from top gun), Bang Bang (copied from. Knight and Day).... I thought Bollyowood will stop...but it seems like they are just not interested to find genuine plots.

This movie is also a very bad copy cat of Non Stop. Go and watch that movie, it is amazing. Then you will realize how badly this bollywood movie is copied.

Ofcourse they have changed some of the scenes. But some very important shots or scenes are totally same. For example, the message tone on the so called secure phone of air marshall, and a lot of other scenes are totally same.

Yodha is a perfect High octane action entertainer that will give you a complete edge of the seat thriller ride from start to end.

First of all I really wanna appreciate the director's of this film to create such a good action experience as a debutant is not an easy job.

This is a movie of execution and fast paced screenplay don't expect much from the story because there is a lots of twist in which some are good and some are just for the confusion but what will make you like the film is the Cinematography which is just good to see infact the visuals are really stunning and makes the film shine from start to end.

Action sequences are unique and stylish and good to watch in the film and special mention to one take sequence which is a highlight.

Performance wise definitely A SIDDHARTH MALHOTRA SHOW for me. His character presence, action sequences and the tension that his character creates carries the whole film. You can easily say that Siddharth perosna definitely suits as an action star in coming years.

Talking about rest of the cast Raashi khanna surprises with her charm and performance and chemistry between Siddharth & Raashi is perfect in the film. Disha Patani comes as a surprise package specially her character in this film is just excellent. And she really looks good when she does action in the film.

Overall Yodha doesn't disappoint and live upto its Expectations with stylized action, engaging screenplay & brilliant visual effects. A worth watch....

Watching this movie directed by Pushkar Oza and Sagar Ambre was not just a disappointment, but an outright insult to the art of filmmaking. It's a mind-numbing exercise in tedium, where every minute feels like an eternity of wasted potential. The screenplay is so devoid of life and creativity that it's as if the writers were actively trying to drain any semblance of entertainment from the film.

The dialogue, if you can even call it that, is a cringe-inducing parade of clichés and tired tropes that belong in the bargain bin of forgotten B-movies. It's painfully obvious that the duo directors have yet to grasp even the most basic principles of compelling storytelling. They seem content to rely on the crutch of big-name actors and a bloated production budget, mistakenly believing that flashy visuals and famous faces can compensate for a lack of substance.

But alas, no amount of star power or expensive set pieces can salvage this sinking ship of a film. It's a cinematic catastrophe of epic proportions, a slap in the face to anyone who values their time and intelligence. Save yourself the agony and steer clear of this train wreck unless, masochistically, you derive pleasure from subjecting yourself to two hours of soul-crushing mediocrity.

This is what happens when the producers not only bet on the inferior horses, but also hand them blinders and expect them to win the race. It's a disgraceful display of incompetence that tarnishes the reputation of everyone involved, leaving a stain on the industry that may never wash away.

Outstanding movie great action scene or thiller and suspense super Siddharth was looking fabulous and great acting by Siddharth malhotra (sic)," Yodha is the best ever hijack based patriotic film of Indian cinema. Sidharth Malhotra has given yet another phenomenal film to Indian cinema like Shershaah.

The story unfolds with Arun Katyal, a proud son determined to carry on the legacy of his father's (Ronit Roy) special task force, Yodha. However, after failing at a critical mission, he is on board a hijacked flight under mysterious circumstances. All evidence points to him being on a revenge mission against the system that has taken everything from him. Is Arun a 'desh ka dushman,' or the patriot like his father was? It all unravels in an action-packed thriller at 15,000 feet above the ground.

Seriously whoever made this movie messed up a good script there's a limit to exaggeration.

They didn't need to stretch the story to saving the Indian PM especially with the convenient presence of the Rashi Khanna and the climax felt like something out of a cringy South Indian movie.

It was supposed to be about an army special unit, like Shershaah or Uri but it ended up being all about one guy.

No chemistry between the leads.

They didn't even bother to show any teamwork with other officers utterly cringeworthy dialogues and what was with wasting Disha Patani's big reveal?

This movie could've been way better.

This is the worst movie experience ever. Too many plots. It's not having one plot, it's having many at once. These should not be called even plot twists. They are just some stupid plots one after another. An unbearable movie. You can call it a genZ movie, since it feels like a collection of many reels, not having any importance to the audience's attention span. Do not go or watch it ever in your life.

Just making movies on national topics is the trend that is being followed. Not having any authentic story in it.

Also Siddharth Malhotra is only being type casted to the similar soldier kind roles and he's also not doing anything different.

Siddarth Malhotra from first scene to all the way to last scence, twist and turns in movie are too good. Plot takes turn in every 15-20 minutes in Second half. Not much movies made on plane highjack but it's one of best. Back Ground Music and close fight scenes are good. Visual effect seems closure to reality. Just 2 songs in movie and those also situational songs songs sung by Arko and Piyush both are good , no nonsense movie, crisp screenplay and wonderful performance by Siddharth. Overall no nonsense movie and not a single vulgar dialogue and scene,definitely a good watch with entire family, Good and watch on big screen.

Yodha is an action drama thriller film directed by sagar ambre and pushkar ojha. It also falls under the subgenre of one person army.

Sidharth malhotra's action range is commendable. He is fluid in his movements and looks dashing while pulling off the stunts. However, the same praises cannot be bestowed upon his acting range. He was trying very hard. No characters get any screentime to leave a mark. The twists are good, whenever they cime in the film. The film defies the laws of physics multiple times and there are some convenient plot points without any buildup. The climax is good, and we root for arun katyal. The music is done really good. The songs, the background score, though saturated support the film. The screenplay is engaging but the writing has many loopholes. The characters are poorly setup. The action scenes are well done really.

Yoddha! A typical formula film but with an excellent plot. To some extent I felt I was watching the rip off, B Grade copy of some B Grade Hollywood movies like Delta Force, White House is Down with all the cheeky dialogues of Chuck Norris or a Channing Tatum being thrown by our very own wannabe Bruce Willis/Big B Mr. Siddharth Malhotra. The casting was good, but somehow the director missed out giving directions to act. Sid Malhotra who is great looking is suited to be a model, but as an actor he is pathetic. I was surprised about Rashi Khanna as she had been great in Farzi, why she was so expression less and pathetic here. Disha Patani was a saving grace as the beautiful terrorist, she did her small part well and I felt she deserved more. The story was great but as usual the narrative let us down and it became a pathetic run of the mill action movie that doesn't work anymore. Skip the headache.
