Noyon Jyoti Parasara, AOL INDIA Rating: Thumbs down
…Overall, Yuvvraaj could have been made into a much more sensible movie if it didn’t have three people involved in it ? Salman Khan, Zayed Khan and the biggest culprit of them all Subhash Ghai himself!…

…The movie is a visual treat to the senses. Ghai has paid attention to the most minor of details that sometimes it shocks you….

Bollywood, eTalkIndia Rating: Thumbs down
…Finally I will call it a let down as it fails to fulfill most of the expectations associated with. Watch it if you like Katrina or you are fan of Salmaan….

Deepa Garimella, fullhyd.com Rating: Thumbs down
…Rahman’s Western-classical-inspired music set to Gulzar’s lyrics is already a hit, but the minimal background music is unnatural for a Subhash Ghai movie…

Martin D’Souza, Glamsham.com Rating: Thumbs up
…Subhash Ghai’s YUVVRAAJ is a little bit of HERO and a little bit of RAM LAKHAN…

Khalid Mohamed, Hindustan Times Rating: Thumbs down
…The direction is much too stagey, sir. Still, this film should never ever be your last one, Subhashji….

Rajeev Masand, IBN Live Rating: Thumbs down
…Ghai borrows the premise of Rain Man for his latest, but packages it with his own brand of 80s melodrama and emotional overdose….

Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM Rating: Thumbs up
…Honestly, YUVVRAAJ isn’t Ghai’s best work, but post YAADEIN, KISNA and BLACK & WHITE, YUVVRAAJ salvages him, even redeems the storyteller….
