Yuva (युवा) is a Hindi feature film released in 2004 and directed by Indian director Mani Ratnam.
Simultaneously made in Hindi (as Yuva) and Tamil (as Ayutha Ezhuthu), this film tells the stories of three men from completely different strata of society and one fateful incident on Calcutta's Hooghly Bridge which changes their lives forever.
Ajay Devgan plays Michael Mukherji, a student who is actively into college politics and believes that the world can be changed through their efforts.

 Yuva
Yuva is a multi-starrer, which is a sort of break from the past in that this is the first time you have worked with three protagonists.
'Yuva' is going to be premiered in Singapore at the IIFA Awards on May 20th and is slated for release all over on the 21st of May. Cinema is a universal medium and I am glad that both 'Yuva' and 'Ayutha Ezhuthu' will be seen by international audiences.
Yuva is very exciting because it's got three different types of characters - the way it was shot and the way it was edited tried to complement the character.

 Apniisp.Com : Focus on Yuva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As the name suggests Yuva is the story of three young couples and how their lives get entangled on a crucial day.
The entire story is based on the present political scenario of the country, and the involvement of the student community into politics by politicians for their own benefit.
In Yuva, the crucial point is the moment when the lives of the three young men intersect -- but the screenplay has placed it in the beginning of the film.

 Give Yuva and Dev their due : HindustanTimes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Neither Ratnam nor Nihalani are representative Bollywood filmmakers, but it is filmmakers of their ilk who are the most likely to bridge the yawning gap that exists between the norms of commercial Hindi films and the demands of socially relevant themes.
Yuva is certainly not Ratnam's finest film, but it is endowed with the innate cinematic intelligence that distinguishes his work from that of the rest of the crowd.
Yuva is a film about three young men grappling with spiralling politically motivated urban violence, but it isn't popcorn entertainment even as it lapses into occasional bouts of over-simplification.

 Bollywood Opinions on SAWF
So I'll spare you the superlatives, and simply say that Yuva is a really good film by one of the only Indian directors who has both a signature visual touch and a commitment to representing the political realities in India.
Yuva ('Youth') doesn't have the stunning locations or the rousing choreography of Ratnam's earlier Dil Se.
I do feel that Yuva is a step down in visual-aural intensity from Peck on the Cheek, which was bursting with a child's glee at being alive -- tempered by the confusion of a girl whose mother has abandoned her to fight for the LTTE, the Tamil separatist movement in Sri Lanka.

 Yuva disappoints   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Consequently, there are few greater disappointments than that moment when you step out of a theatre screening the director's latest, and the only mode of expression left to you is a sigh.
In Yuva, that crucial plot point is logically the moment when the lives of the three young men intersect -- but the screenplay places that right at the beginning of the film, even before the audience has fully settled in.
It is thus doubly unfortunate that his earlier strength is Ratnam's greatest weakness here, and this weakness undermines the inherent promise of the film's theme.

Rumors often whispered when Yuva was in pre-production that Abhishek Bachchan had initially turned Lallan’s role down.
However, Yuva’s main drawback lies in the excessive emphasis placed on form, and as a result, pacing of its content takes a back seat at times.

The name Yuva Halchal is significant in that it reflects the energy of change that the youth founders wanted to explore and advance.
As a monthly publication, Yuva Halchal has included topics of globalization, politics, resistance movements, nationalism, consumerism, etc.   But the publication is not thematic; there is no superior force that dictates assignments.
The way in which the forum and publication work and the principles and values that they embrace, while specific in purpose, setting and experiences to the community from which it is created, are also closely in line with and have helped further the conceptualization process of Yuva Halchal.

Run" is, well, a run of the mill kind of formula film and the other is Mani Ratnam's "Yuva" which could give him a new lease as a serious actor, but Abhishek Bachchan manages to be excited about both his releases.
"Yuva" has a universal theme, though for the life of me I can't classify what kind of film it is. What Mani said about "Yuva" makes sense -- that 'it's about three individuals and their choices in life.'
But I must say "Yuva" is a very special film because of Mani Ratnam and because of Lallan Singh who is the most special character I've ever played.

 Yuva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Yuva is still ahead of the offerings of mainstream Hindi cinema but from Ratnam who gave you gems like Nayakan (1987), Gitanjali (1989), Roja (1992) and Bombay you always expect that something special.
Similarly in Yuva, had Mani stuck more to the relationships, perhaps we might have ended up with a better film.
This perhaps could be one of the disappointing factors with Yuva - normally Ratnam is brilliant with his man-woman relationships but barring the Abhishek - Rani relationship which is consistent throughout, the other two only have the odd good moment or two.

YUVA is a relief from the myriad of saccharine sweet escapist cinema that has been hitting the screen lately.

A quality movie, YUVA is definitely refreshing with a whiff of realism after the horde of escapist cinema doing the rounds.

 Cinedrome presents Yuva
Yuva (Youth) is the new movie of the famous and respected South Indian director Mani Ratnam ("Dil Se", "Roja", "Bombay", "Kannathil Muthamital"/A Peck on the Cheek/Un Bisou sur la Joue") who like no other Indian filmmaker knows how to connect elements of the popular Indian mainstream cinema with sophisticated contents.
In his movies he always deals more or less explicitly with social and political subjects and combines them in a virtuoso manner with a wonderful cinematography and even with songs, the singing- and dancing scenes which are a must in the Indian mainstream cinema (and even for western spectators those don't appear too kitschy).
Mani Ratnam has made many successful films in the Tamil language, Yuva is his second venture with North Indian actors and in Hindi after the classic "Dil Se".
