Yuvvraaj 2008

Salman Khan stars as Deven Yuvvraaj Singh, a struggling singer whose rising dreams clash with financial hardship and a carefree attitude. He faces disapproval from Boman Irani as Dr. P. K. Banton, the father of his girlfriend Anushka, who resents his lack of wealth. Deven also carries a painful family history: a quarrel with his elder brother led to him being disowned by his parents. Then a newspaper notice reveals his father’s death, and Deven signs a bold agreement promising to become a billionaire in 40 days.

To meet the extraordinary promise, Deven must reunite with his two estranged brothers, Anil Kapoor as Gyanesh Kumar Yuvvraaj Singh and Zayed Khan as Danny Yuvvraaj Singh, whom he has not seen in 12 years. The shock comes when the will leaves everything to the mentally challenged Gyanesh, prompting Danny and Deven to hatch a plan to seize the inheritance. The attempted scheme unfurls through a tense confrontation: Danny tries to coerce Gyanesh into lying before lawyers, and the clash ends with Deven stepping in as the protective, reconciliatory force. The trio’s path forward blends old wounds with a fragile hope for unity.

The journey takes them to Austria, where the dynamics begin to shift. Deven aims to win back his brother by showing a different side of himself, and in this setting Anushka discovers Gyanesh’s remarkable singing talent. She invites him into her orchestra, which is set to perform before thousands, and the music becomes a bridge between estranged hearts. The growing bond between Deven and Gyanesh softens the tension, and Danny’s own fall from luxury—marked by the loss of his girlfriend—begins to redefine his priorities. As the brothers reconnect, they start to reimagine family not as a means to wealth but as a channel for forgiveness and care.

The drama widens with the involvement of the extended family and legal minds. Mithun Chakraborty appears as Attorney Sikandar Mirza, whose legal counsel adds a sharp edge to the family’s fight over the inheritance. Javed Sheikh portrays Yogendra Yuvvraaj Singh, a figure in the extended family whose presence intensifies the pressure surrounding the siblings’ plans. And Aushima Sawhney appears as Nandita, a character who interacts with the brothers during moments of tension and reconciliation.

Back home, the fragile peace is threatened when the siblings’ maternal uncle and his family scheme to poison Gyanesh to lay claim to the fortune. They present a recording of Deven and Danny plotting to swindle him, and they tamper with Gyanesh’s inhaler, leaving him breathless and vulnerable. On a high-stakes stage, Gyanesh continues the show with Deven in a duet about forgiveness, turning the performance into a beacon of hope even as the danger deepens. The brothers’ real test arrives offstage: Deven must confront their attackers and face the possibility of losing his brother.

The hospital becomes the pivotal battleground for the moral center of the story. Dr. Banton initially refuses to help, accusing Deven of pursuing Gyanesh’s life only to secure wealth and marriage to Anushka. In a moment of emotional honesty, Deven pledges that if his brother survives, he will not marry Anushka, underscoring a genuine shift from personal gain to family responsibility. This plea convinces Dr. Banton, who saves Gyanesh’s life, and the act of saving solidifies the changed man Deven has become. With Gyanesh stabilized, the path opens for a future where Deven can marry Anushka, now reconciled with his brothers and a family that values love over money. The film closes on a celebratory note—an exuberant dance scene that brings together the entire cast and crew in a final salute to forgiveness, unity, and the enduring power of family.
