MUMBAI: Mani Ratnam’s YUVA, a film that redefined youth, politics, and power in Indian cinema, celebrates 21 glorious years today. Released in 2004, the film marked a turning point in Abhishek Bachchan’s career, with his portrayal of Lallan Singh earning widespread acclaim and his first Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Rugged, raw, and riveting — Lallan Singh wasn’t just a character; he was a cultural moment. With YUVA, Abhishek shed the weight of expectations and stepped into a league of his own. The film remains a cornerstone of his career and a fan-favorite performance that continues to trend even two decades later.
Today, Abhishek Bachchan stands tall as one of Indian cinema’s most consistent performers — with a slate of successful and acclaimed films including Manmarziyaan, Ludo, Bob Biswas, Dasvi (which ranked #1 on Netflix), Be Happy (which trended at #1 on Amazon Prime Video), and I Want to Talk, which earned him awards and widespread praise. As he gears up for the release of Housefull 5, the love for YUVA reminds us just how far he’s come — and how effortlessly he continues to evolve.
