Yaara (2020) A beefy Vidyut Jammwal and a brooding Amit Sadh, playing the two male leads, are called upon to put in the hard yards in a film that never quite gets off the ground. Written and directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, Yaara straddles five decades - from the early 1950s to the late 1990s - and yet seems caught in a time warp.

The core of the film is exasperatingly hollow. In the bargain, the end result falls short of matching the overt ambition of the enterprise..
