Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai is about people screwed up as much by the system as by their own follies, but the final impact of the film is not as gloomy as the title might suggest. Give it a shot.

There’s not much to the story and there’s even less weight in the dialogues. The characters all sound like petulant self-seeking individuals lost in their own self-importance and fake sentiment. There’s an effort to shore the weak scripting with pseudo-verse and music that sounds like a bad imitation of sixties rock but it fails to impart any affect. The performances are stilted at best. No one looks comfortable in the skin of the characters they assay. Suresh Kumar Rajan’s cinematography manages to capture the beauty of the region but fails at creating vivid atmosphere for the trip that appears to be going nowhere. The film of course, stays true to it’s title. Everybody does get screwed here-including you!

But even as Yahaan Sab Ki Lagi meanders along, its precise philosophical centre, the energetic performances from a cast of competent and convincing actors and the lively dialogues hold it together as it heads to a somber, though not downbeat, finale.The rhythms and flavours of Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai are its own. This is a film for those that have a taste for the offbeat.

Perhaps it is the filmmakers' intention to irritate viewers with irritable characters and existential rants, but it soon becomes an irritating watch. Pankaj Awasthi's cool fusion score makes their personal journey worth hearing, but there is little else that makes it worth watching.
