[12] Regarding his performance in the film, a critic from The Times of India wrote that "Yuva is Yuva Rajkumar’s show all the way; he fights, acts, dances, romances, wrestles, fights some more, and even shows an emotional arc. He ticks all the boxes of a commercial hero. The movie is written for him and he delivers a very mature performance in his debut film. His arrival marks the entry of a bankable angry young man to the industry". [13]
