All of them, in this film, fall in that category, whether it is the passionately cruel Abhishek BachchanвЂ™s Lallan, Ajay DevganвЂ™s witty Michael, Vivek OberoiвЂ™s clueless-about-social-brutality and confused about his aspirations Arjun, Rani MukherjiвЂ™s painstakingly loving Shashi, Esha DeolвЂ™s confident Radhika (though she wasnвЂ™t as good as the rest), and KareenaвЂ™s bubbly Mira, each character is given appropriate space to dwell, interact, develop and affect.

Perhaps the simplest characters where logic of their actions are calculated in subconscious, are actually those characters that are highly nuanced. While it is a well known fact, Abhishek Bachchan stood amongst all, but the rest of the two are also who are actually the way they should be. Mani RatnamвЂ™s elegance lies in crafting out raw and original and extremely simple characters, the way they really are. The film starts with zig-zagging through the scenes and core action, introducing the primary characters, then jumping into the story of the first character and then coming back to the scene, then moving on the next character and then coming back and then the third character. Those who are illiterate yet ambitious, studious and have multiple opportunities but are adamant on improving situation here and those who have everything yet they still are not sure what they really want. Yuva, is all about how youth deal with today. His craftsmanship is clearly evident in multiple scenes, which come and go, stories moving across parallel timelines. Like every other Mani Ratnam film, Yuva too set against a socio-political backdrop, is a film about relations and drama amongst them at its core. I and my whole family, my mom, dad and elder brother were sort of high on expectations and the film opened to terrible reception all round, still we all knew that it is a Mani Ratnam film and there would be ascertained substance, it would not be a hollow film.

As soon as you put Mani RatnamвЂ™s name on a film, the expectations associated with it blow out of the proportions.
