Yaariyan is a 2014 Bollywood coming-of-age romance adventure film directed by Divya Khosla Kumar, starring Himansh Kohli and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead roles.It marks the debut of the director as well as the lead star cast.The film was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar under the banner of T-Series Super Cassettes Industries.
Yaariyan tells the story of 5 close friends who are in college, experiencing different relationships and learning new values.The response to the promotional material on YouTube led the distributor to release the film two weeks earlier than initially planned.The film released on 10 January 2014 with 1200 screens release in India.
Yaariyan isn’t exactly a boy-meets-girl story. It is more the tale of a Plain Jane daughter of a retired school teacher, Saloni (Rakul Preet Singh), who trips, stumbles and falls all over over-eager boy and sparks severe hormonal turmoil within the latter.

Much din is generated in the process – most of it hinges on the frisky male protagonist, Lakshya (newcomer Himansh Kohli), clashing with his war widow-mother (Smita Jayakar) and on the guy’s desperate yet abortive attempts to secure the first kiss of his life.
Calling Yaariyan silly would be the understatement of the year. It is mind-numbingly idiotic.
It is the sort of film that makes Student of the Year look like Au Revoir les Enfants.
The cast is composed of a cluster of fresh faces, a couple of them rather promising at that, and yet newness is the last thing that Yaariyan exudes.

Rock music, chess, mobike and bicycle races and mountain climbing are the disciplines chosen.
In the climax of Yaariyan, the male lead ends up first atop a mountain peak and then on the college spire, but the film only hurtles downhill until it hits rock bottom.
The acting is generally pretty pedestrian although Rakul Preet Singh, playing the “bloody behenji” who turns the tables on everybody, does look like a talent who has a future.

She is pretty, and has a large and expressive pair of eyes. Although here she isn’t allowed to come into her own until the second half, she could go places.
Himansh Kohli, on his part, possesses oodles of boyish charm but clearly needs to brush up on his acting skills.
Yaariyan talks about a whole lot of other things – friendship, trust, patriotism, race attacks and tolerance – but makes no sense at all.
It would make perfect sense to give this film a miss.
