Summary of Yuvvraaj
Showman director Subhash Ghai pulls out all the stops in the extravagant YUVVRAAJ, a film with a plot updating the time-honored Hindi film device of divided brothers who must be reunited. Unexpected twists recall Ghai's 1980s penchant for suspense thrillers (KARZ, HERO). However, technology and bigger budgets enable Ghai to achieve in this film the lush visual opulence he has always aimed for. Exteriors were shot in glowingly gorgeous Prague and in the the Austrian Alps, and interiors use museum-like mansions. Each song in the score by A.R. Rahman, composer of hit scores for LAGAAN and the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical BOMBAY DREAMS, becomes an elaborate production number: one song has Salman Khan flying along a rainbow, while others involve dozens of dancers dressed as gypsies, cabaret artists, cats, or all of the above.
Deven (Salman Khan) is a singer and self-proclaimed bad boy whose exploits seem inspired by the actor's real-life adventures. He longs to marry a stunning cellist (Katrina Kaif), but her wealthy doctor father (Boman Irani) objects to Deven's pennilessness. When Deven's estranged billionaire father dies, Deven and his brothers--young wastrel Danny (Zayed Khan) and autistic Gyanesh (Anil Kapoor), who is a brilliant composer and singer--reunite to learn that the billionaire's will leaves everything to Gyanesh. The machinations that follow lead viewers to suspect that characters who seem likable might be up to no good and that some of the apparently bad ones might be concealing hearts of gold. As the film races across Europe and toward its climactic concert scene, Ghai proves himself as adept as ever at tying up loose threads to arrive at a satisfying ending. The closing credits give not just cast but crew members their moment onscreen--and give everyone the opportunity to squeeze in one last dance.
