Bland, lazy, slow, vacuous

Cast - Aayush Sharma, Warina Hussain

Ithe latter when he sees the pretty NRI heroine, Manisha who is called Michelle when in London. His wingmen, Rocket and Negative, and his uncle – a badly hamming Ram Kapoor – hatch an idiotic plan to push the romance along. Over a number of dandiya numbers, which are hard to tell apart, the two fall in love, only for Warina’s NRI daddy (Ronit Roy), to jump in cliché objections.
Instead of trying something new, the Loveyatri team of debutants – Aayush Sharma, Warina Hussain and director Abhiraj Minawala – takes recourse in the familiar. Everything you see in Loveyatri, you have seen before. In a well-made film, it could give you comfort, in Loveyatri it gives you headache.
The one-dimensional screenplay is well supported by cringe-worthy dialogues to make this 160-minute film a war on your senses. Here’s a sample: “Love is like a SIM card. Whether the phone is expensive or cheap, the SIM remains the same”.
Throughout this ebb and flow of his love story, Aayush has the same surprised expression on his face – like he cannot believe that Salman Khan decided to bankroll the film – and Warina matches him expression-forexpression. At the end of Loveyatri, you hate nepotism as much as Kangana Ranaut. Loveyatri is a 140minute long reason why it needs to be rooted out from the film industry.
