Yodha: Sidharth Malhotra’s action-packed thriller fails to soar to its potential
Despite gripping performances and stunning stunts, the film's complex plot and uneven pacing prevent it from reaching new heights.
KATHMANDU: Yodha, the 2024 Hindi film starring Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani, and Raashii Khanna, is an action-packed thriller with a mixed reception from critics.
The movie centers around Arun Katyal, a member of a special task force called Yodha, who faces personal and professional turmoil after a failed rescue mission during a plane hijacking.
The film’s strength lies in its intense action sequences, particularly the mid-air stunts, where Sidharth Malhotra’s performance stands out.
Disha Patani also impresses in her role, while Raashii Khanna’s performance has received mixed reviews.
However, the film struggles with its convoluted plot and inconsistent screenplay.
Some critics found the narrative too complex and confusing, which detracts from the overall experience.
While the action scenes are praised, the story itself doesn’t soar as high as the stunts.
Despite these shortcomings, Yodha could still be an entertaining watch for those who enjoy action thrillers, but it may not leave a lasting impact.
