Before Jackky Bhagnani signed Youngistaan, he had gone for a road trip and went to northeast to clear his curiosity of why his films didn’t work. He spoke to a lot of localities and figured out that the people didn’t have a problem with his acting but the choices he made. After he was back he went through a lot of scripts and came across a concept film like Youngistaan. 

Ali Abbas Zafar, the director of Gunday had scheduled a joint narration of the script for Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor.

For the first time in the history of Indian cinema, narration of a script was done with a background score.

The background score created the kind of atmosphere in the room which the director Ali Abbas Zafar wanted to convey through his script.

This was also the first time in the history of YRF that two actors got a joint narration.

CRITIC VIEW.

Lone Survivor is a true story of America-Taliban War in Afghanistan, the film shows the fact of an unsuccessful United States Navy SEALs mission Operation Red Wings, in which a four-man [Mark Wahlberg as Marcus Luttrell] SEAL investigation and surveillance team was tasked to track Taliban leader Ahmad Shah way back in 2005.

The film has some incredible combat action and excellent camera work by Tobias Schliessler which will leave you spellbound. High production value and meticulous costume designs have been done with great care. Also the bullet wounds and blood shedding will shake up your sense for a while.

Writer-director Peter Berg has passionately given the message of loyalty, bravery, and sacrifice in the film. He has fittingly filmed all the portions of the actual facts with an astute pace which will keep you engage from beginning to end.
