Yudhra Fails To Make An Impact With A Lackluster Performance, While Stree Dominates The Box Office With Roaring Success
Excel Entertainment’s Yudhra has sunk without a  trace. After  a reasonably  cost-effective start, thanks to all tickets across the  board  being priced at Rs 99 on Friday , the collections fell  on Saturday . Until  Monday the  collections are  close to Rs 8 crores ,which is neither here  nor there.

Analyzing the  downspiral in the collections Roshan Singh, a leading exhibitor  in Bihar says, “The Yudhra collections were expected to fall from Day 2, and they did . Sidhanth Chaturvedi is not hero material. That sad, Yudhra needed  a solid script.  All it got was  a routine revenge drama on the lines of  Ruslaan featuring Salman Khan’s brother-in-law  which came  and flopped some months ago. On the other hand, a re-release  Tumbadd fared better in its second week than Yudhra in its first week.”

Yudhra closed at around 8 crores  over the weekend making it   a losing  proposition.  Fortunately the investments were  low. Siddhant Chaturvedi was paid just a token  amount. Excel had launched him in  Gully Boy, and seem  to  believe in  him.But why are Farhan Akhtar and  Ritesh Sidhwani investing in  such  low-budget projects? 

Chaturvedi  who plays  the titutal  bulldozer, has little  scope or occasion    to act, except in the pre-climax where he  presumes his  girl(lying inert in a bathtub, having exhausted  herself with her overacting) is dead.For the rest Chaturvedi  clenches his fists  grits his pearly white teeth and roars towards the villains with bullish  energy. He is the umpteenth avatar of Amitabh  Bachchan’s  Angry Young Man and arguably  the poorest one yet.
