Reception

Critical response

SM Shashiprasad of Times Now gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Yuva works on some counts. However, it lacks the punch required to make it a more powerful venture than just being another run-of-the-mill entertainer." [9] S. Sridevi of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Yuva is a power-packed family entertainer that can be enjoyed in theatres by all kinds of film buffs as it offers something for everyone." [10] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Yuva serves as a gritty exploration of a young man's journey. While it may slightly falter in its execution in parts, the film's sincerity and earnestness ultimately shine through." [11]

A. S. Pranati of Deccan Herald gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Yuva is an action-packed entertainer, but is let down by too many elements." [12] Prathiba Joy of OTTplay gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "The story of director Santhosh Ananddram's debut vehicle for Yuva Rajkumar only picks up in the second half, and doesn't have much meat to chew on." [13]

Vivek M. V. of The Hindu wrote "The debutant actor is dashing in action sequences, but director Santhosh Ananddram's routine story stops this film from being an all-out entertainer." [14] Swaroop Kodur of Film Companion wrote "Yuva is an interesting film and has many memorable moments to its name, but the film is definitely not greater than the sum of its parts." [15]

Box office

The first day worldwide gross was speculated to be around ₹4–5 crore. [16] [17] However, the tracked figures estimate the first weekend net collections to be ₹6 crores. [18] [19] The net collection of the film was reported to be ₹10.81 crores for the first two weeks. [20]
