6/10
Guilty fun?

Warning: Spoilers
Set on the backdrop of a college, its principal (gulshan grover) calls in five students and assigns them a task. They have to save the college from an Australian who is keen to remove the college and make a resort. For that, the five youngsters need to beat the Australian team in a series of events and competitions. Whether they are successful in their attempt or not forms the rest of the story.

The director has come up with a youthful and romantic storyline and while the presentation was good, the narrative was engaging in parts. The dialogues were good. The script was familiar and the screenplay added some value. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was impressive. Editing was required at few places. Costumes were trendy and suited the backdrop while the art department was appealing. Himansh Kohli was confident, Serah Singh was sexy, Rakul Preet was expressive and seductive, Nicole was hot, Dev Sharma was good, Evelyn Sharma was elegant, Deepti Naval was matured, Gulshan Grover was different.

The film comprises its lead cast of debutantes and despite so many faces each made their own impact. The first half goes around with elements of fun, entertainment, romance and comedy but the second half gets into some seriousness and also the element of friendship. Overall, this is a film which is meant for the youth audience and they might like the flavor of it. Final word Yaariyan is a very clichéd, formulaic, corny, unrealistic college film.... But its a highly enjoyable and entertaining film nonetheless!!!
