Synopsis: Subhash Ghai returns with a star studded cast in his latest family drama Yuvraaj (Crown Price). This is a story about three brothers, a father's fortune, and one man's mission to finally be able to marry the love of his life.
When the film opens we find ourselves in a magnificent concert hall. Ignoring the beauty of the room the camera gazes upon the beautiful Anushka (Katrina Kaif) a talented cello player. As the intense composition, painstakingly assembled by A.R. Rahman, plays on in the background our attention is turned to another person in the room. This character (Aushima Sawhaney) introduces the main character and hero Deven (Salman Khan). She explains how Deven is from a broken family and that his relation with Anushka is a true love. From this character we also learn that because of Deven's immaturity and lack of understanding about the meaning of family he risks losing Anushka forever.
The next character we are introduced to is Anushka's father -a wealthy doctor with a particular disdain for Deven's personality. He refuses to allow the marriage because he does not think that Deven knows what it means to be a true family man. The viewers and all the characters are aware that this fact is true of Deven -even though his lack of knowledge is not his fault. One day Anushka and Deven have a fight and Deven tells her to leave. When confronted about this action he explains while about how he did not leave his home he was kicked out for hitting his brother. Anushka returns to comfort him and Deven's demeanor changes completely back to his childish ways.
Dr. Banton (Anushka's father) calls Deven and invites him to a party saying that he will give Deven one last chance to prove himself. Dr. Banton tells deven specifically how to dress and that he is to arrive at the party ready to impress. Whe Deven arrives at the party he realizes that Banton had tricked him into dressing up like a waiter. Banton further insults Deven by introducing him to “high class” friends as the boy who was disowned by his rich father and now has trouble finding work. To rub even more salt in Deven's wound Banton announces his daughters engagement to another man. At this point Deven is so frustrated that he begins to bet recklessly at the roulette table at the party. After losing all his, he is confronted by Anushka's now soon to be husband who comments on how he is a small person and should learn to act his class level. Deven then throws a drink into the face of this man and is then escorted away by the police.
The next morning Deven is bailed out of jail by his boss. While filling out some paper work Deven is asked his father's name angrily gives it ti the officer. As he walks the officer calls him from behind to tell him that the front page of the newspaper says that his father has just died. Ecstatically happy returns to Banton's home with a deal. If Deven can become a billionaire within forty days, then he will be allowed to marry Anushka. If not then Dr. banton has the right to marry Anushka to any person he wishes.
Deven has now arrived in England where he meets his old family. His mother had died when he was child and so all that was left was a crooked uncle and his two sons and a corrupt daughter in-law. As far as Deven's nuclear family was concerned it was Deven, his older brother Gyanesh, and younger brother Danny.
Gyanesh suffers from Autism and has the mentality of an eight year old stuck in a forty year old body. Danny on the other hand is the epitome of the spoiled rich kid mentality. The day after his father died he chose to go party at a casino. Deven and Danny both believe that they will get at least a third of the estate each; however, when the will is read they find out that they only received 2 crores each out of a 1500 crore bank account. The rest of the money, property, and land belonged to Gyanesh.
At this point Deven and Danny team up to find a way to get Gyanesh to sign over the money.
From this point on the story has several twists and turns to the point where people not even involved in the story become villains and villains become heroes.
Make sure to watch the movie to see the thrilling conclusion. -Nipun Marwaha
