The narrative is cluttered with characters who think 1970s but wear clothes and an attitude borrowed from the immigration desk of an American airport. Many exhausting reels later the slain NRI's mother (Deepti Naval, again!) is shown bandaging her son's Aussie killer's hand. The narrative moves through two continents, and the Australian sojourn is crammed with loud propaganda on racial hatred when the hero's Australian cousin is smashed to death by a jealous local. There is a too much of window-dressing and too little substance. The screenplay could have done with substantial paring and reparation. But given the preposterous preenings of the blabber-mouthed plot, the daft never develops beyond the first draft. As in Mansoor's film, Ms Khosla's go-slow narration builds a graph for the hero from daft to wise.At least that is what it's meant to be.

Lamentably in the perverse parameters of a particular kind of Bollywood entertainment, "young" is equated with. Film: "Yaariyan" Cast: Himansh Kohli, Nakul Preet, Deepti Naval Directed by Divya Khosla Kumar Rating: ** "Yaariyan" enters into the young.no, make that very young.territory. But she, poor thing, does just that in a sequence that even Nirupa Roy would have thought twice before getting into. It isn't a pretty sight to see an actress of Deepti Naval's calibre ham.
