Somewhere along the way, their lives had traveled down different paths. He’s a drunkard, an ex-lawyer now very much out of work, who makes a living, singing in a cheap bar. He’s counted the days and months and year since they last met but on this night when they accidentally meet he makes the one mistake that he shouldn’t have…he criticizes Hira. He tells her that she needs to reinvent herself, do new work, and be less predictable on screen.This sends her into a tizzy, but it also sends her towards events that change her life forever.

Hira finds herself the bona-fide drama, a real-life one, one that will surely take her back to the top! It’s the story of a loving, traditional wife, the murder of her husband, a father-in-law who heads a non-political but powerful organization and the secrets that lie behind the closed doors of his “bhavan”. A volatile world, which she enters purely to exploit for her own ends - is also the one that soon takes over her whole life. She begins to get attached to the women whose juicy story she had wanted just for film. She begins to see the strength in her lawyer friend whom she had merely considered a failure till now.

As celluloid clashes with reality, it changes her forever. An inmate’s (Vasundhara Das) past with her husband (Aryan Vaid) becomes the present of this actress and threatens to destroy her future. The actress, the drunk, the widow, the violent party-head…these lives get enmeshed with each other as Hira struggles to become successful not just in the movies, but also in life. And this isn’t easy she finds out…as she realizes…that life…is much more than films.

As the name suggests Yuva is the story of three young couples and how their lives get entangled after a fateful day.

Ajay Devgan is Michael Mukherjee, a PhD student, who take an active part in society and politics and questions oneself before blaming everything else around them for the degeneration of the socio politic fabric.

Playing his love interest is Esha Deol, Radhika. A French teacher by profession Radhika wants to get married, but Michael doesn’t believes in institution of marriage.

Vivek Oberoi is Arjun Balakrishnan, a typical yuppie and an engineer who plans to shift his base to USA and enjoy life. But his ladylove Mira (Kareena Kapoor) wants to get married and settled down in Kanpur.

Abhishek Bachchan is Lallan and the most unpredictable of them all. He believes that his needs are more important than the right and wrongs of life. He lives for himself and feels that he owes nothing to anybody except himself.

He fears no one and listens to none. He stays in Kolkata with his love Sashi (Rani Mukherjee).

When the three young men are brought together by an accident on the Second Hoogly Bridge in Kolkata, their lives change irreversibly. Their change, their conflict, and their interactions with each other is the crux of the film. The film examines the lives of these three men and their families and the complex relationships between individuals who are very different, yet so similar.

Sonu Sood plays the main negative lead in the film. The music of the film is composed by A.R.Rehman while Mehboob has written the lyrics.

Yuva has also been made in a Tamil version (Ayutha Ezhuthu) simultaneously, which stars Surya, Madhavan, Siddharth, Meera Jasmine, Trisha Krishnan and Esha Deo.

This film by painter-cum-filmmaker M F Hussain with his son Owais Hussain is set in three cities of Hyderabad, Jaisalmer and Prague. The film’s protagonist (Tabu) adopts three different personalities as Meenaxi, Meenakshi and Maria in the three respective cities. The film, like the earlier ‘Gajagamini’ lends itself to various interpretations and may leave the viewer confused. While Tabu is fantastic, the film disappoints. Musically, ‘Yeh Rishta’ and ‘Do kadam aur sahi’ appeal to the listener and Rahman has tried to bring Sufi style to his music.

            Nawab is a famous novelist from Hyderabad who now feels nothing seems to inspire him. He comes across the very individualistic Meenaxi at a traditional qawwali ceremony and is drawn towards her as the inspiration for his story. But she is not very willing to perform the part of a passive muse. But even as she appears to have taken hold of his body and soul, he finds her very complex. She assumes different personae in different cities. She can be Meenaxi - the mysterious perfume trader of Hyderabad, Meenakshi - the exotic desert bloom of Jaisalmer, and the orphaned Maria of Prague. She scoffs at the novelist’s renewed attempts at writing as insubstantial and is critical about his story, amused by the lovelorn and awkward Kaameshwar – a character he has created, based on a drunken mechanic who once wanted to be a singer. All this puts him into a state of deep despair. But the writer must survive and live, if he can, without her support, inspiration and criticism.
