![]() And that admittedly odd description should be on the poster for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.įor this is a very good-looking film. ![]() The exact opposite of a film where a great narrative is disrupted by songs is, then, a film where perfectly good song-and-dance sequences find themselves hampered by a tedious narrative. When we watch a Hindi film, for example, where the songs get in the way of the narrative and make the film longer than it should be, what we long for is a film where there are no songs, or one where the songs are truly a part of the storytelling. This, naturally, is a huge fallacy, since the opposite is hardly ever what we truly mean. When we can’t stand something a certain way, we’re instinctively prone to wishing it were the other way around, the opposite. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a good-looking film but lacks a good story, writes Raja Sen.
