    It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

    if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

    The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

    While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

    Watched a few episodes on Netflix due to high ratings but this is purely a waste of time. After the first few episodes, I only continued watching as I couldn't believe that Amitabh can be a part of such an awful TV series and I kept on expecting for it to get better. But the entire series is annoyingly slow and the story doesn't get any better. Bad casting, bad script, long pauses for no reason, inaudible dialogs at times are a few short comings. And that imaginary joker! Common couldn't Big B act to bring the psychological disorder to life on the screen.Summary: Don't waste your time. The ratings on IMDb are definitely not correct. Nobody can rate this TV series 8.7/10 in their right mindset.

    Disappointing drama. Apart from Mr Bachchan no other actor could act, unfortunately. The storyline is very boring and slow paced. The music is very haunting and scary, and plain annoying. It's like watching a horror show. The show has low ratings, well i'm not surprised. I expected better but ended up bored and depressed. There are a lot of plot holes and scenes which are not really significant to the actual storyline. All the actors look unprofessional and below average looking. Some were hideous, maybe the director wanted to create an horror effect. This was probably the worst Indian TV show I have ever seen. I am shocked people have rated this highly on IMDb, these must be the die-hard Bachchan fans and the cast and crew of the Yudh TV show. If you don't want to be depressed, sad and bored then give the drama a miss. It's not worth it. You will realise this within the first few episodes. Did I mention the characters are very annoying including Yudh himself. Bachchan could have done better. Most of the drama nothing much is happening and the characters are just sitting down. The story does not move on. It took 20 episodes to tell a story which could have been told in about 3 episodes.

    Tu na thakega kabhi, Tu na thamega kabhi, Tu na mudega kabhi, Kar shapath! Kar shapath! Kar shapath! Agneepath! Agneepath! Agneepath!Even at 71 years Mr. Bachchan is unstoppable. He continues to lead, to inspire. Amongst many firsts we will always remember him as the Superstar who brought glam to humble television. And he continues to do it. Coming to Yudh, I have watched two episodes and am impressed with the way Br. Bachchan has acted. There is a reason why some people transcend time and Mr. Bachchan is a living example of it. He is exceptional in his performance and connects with his audience to the T. Anand (Zakir Hussain) plays a key role in the serial and does complete justice to the importance of the character. But this is where the good part ends.First of all Sony, a channel struggling to make an impact with the audience fails to understand that people love uninterrupted flow of story. Breaks are a necessary evil, one gets that, coz the sponsor is pumping money for this but using the break to cross promote other shows? Lot of people might do it under various pretext but answer a simple question, I am eating Chinese and if someone tries to keep serving Sambar and idli how will you feel? Irritating is an understatement!KK looks underutilized but then it's too early to say that. Mr. Bachchan's wife looks too young for him. If I have to give a reference point then it shall be from the movie Sarkar, Mr. Bachchan's wife looked right age for the role. Yudh is a real estate tycoon, and going by experience most real estate guys have wonderful offices. Unfortunately this fact has been ignored by the director. Yudh's office is more like a make shift office and one can make it out. It lacks the largeness which goes with real estate guys. The series depicts the story of Delhi, GurgaonÂ…wonder why such an important person like Yudh will not have basic security? It appears like anyone can reach him, anywhere. Too lame, once again no thinking involved on the part of director.Yudh seems to be caught up with nuisances like Commissioner and some other Government officers, anyone who is worth their salt in the construction business know that these guys are just pawns. All the strings are held by the ministers. And if I am sitting on the pinnacle of success then I definitely know how to move the Government machinery rather than getting bogged down by it. The script lacks planning and clearly falls short. A person like Yudh should have opponents worthy of a tussle.Direction is bad, I would have loved to use softer words but it won't be right. My reader please allow me to share an example, in one of the scene, Yudh's daughter is hospitalized. He comes across the girls "legal" dad. But then the legal dad gets a call and imagine what he does, he says excuse me and goes inside the patient's room to take the call. How stupid is that! People are asked to limit the use of cell phones if they are visiting a hospital, not only the director ignores this, but goes on to show that the legal dad took the call by going inside the patient's room. Amazing!!!And what is with the imaginary character of the joker? It's a borrowed concept from the West. If one had to show an imaginary character then it has to be something or someone who connects with India at an emotional level. A joker is not only frivolous but has no connect with the viewers.People who tend to make serials with a difference should realise we are no longer isolated; people have a good experience of what is world class and Yudh falls short.

    Featuring some of the best known theatre and character actors, 1st episode of YUDH is intriguing and creates enough suspense and leaves enough space for the audience to think of the remaining episodes. Mr.Amitabh is pitch perfect in the lead role giving a towering performance so far and one would expect the series to move in a pacy manner once the characters are clearly established.All in all, a positive step for Indian television and who better to lead from the front than Mr.Bachchan.Wait and watch out for other key roles played by Tigmanshu dhulia, kaykay menon and Azakir Hussain with Nawazuddin Siddqui yet to appear.
