Yaariyan (2014)
1/10
It's about time IMDb should consider a "0" rating option!

I rarely rate a film 1. Even the worse of worse I rate 2 or 3. There is just handful of the 2300 ratings I have given. I only consider a 1 rating when a film is absolutely horrible and intolerable, which this is.

A few youngsters try to save their college's land to be auctioned to some Australian Billionaire. Meanwhile they discover love.

It was totally a let down of a film for Gulshan Kumar Productions. A supposed tribute to the college life ends up being a haphazard frustrating nonsensical intolerable mess, with pathetic acting and a lot of bikini clad girls of-course.

The film is so absurd, it specially introduce a completely unnecessary character to kill him off, that to out of nowhere. The scenes seem so abrupt and forced at certain points that it literally drives you mad. And the stunt artists probably weren't looking when Himansh was just sticking upside down on a wall with only his stomach to support him. (And they thought they'd pull a Mein Hoon Naa). I wonder why talented actors like Gulshan Grover sign for these kind of films.

At the end credits, Divya is seen with her cuter son on the sets, with him saying "pack up" and "action". I have a strong feeling that it was he all along who directed and wrote the film, and it was Divya's way of letting us know. *jk*.

The only good thing of the film is its songs, especially "Baarish" (though I hated the Honey Singh ones). I wonder when Bollywood will understand that good songs and good hilly locations don't make a good reasonable film.

Direction: Pathetic.

Script/Screenplay: Even RGV ki Aag and Himmatwala were better written.

Acting: Rakul is cute, but her acting isn't convincing, rest are pathetic.

Music: The score is average. Songs are good.

Overall a film to be avoided. 0/10, since the option doesn't exist, I'll have to settle with a generous 1.
