Filmgoers took note of the engaging action sequences but expressed disappointment in the storytelling and character development. Initial reactions from film reviewers describe Yudhra as a film with an intriguing premise that falls short in execution. One review labeled the film as a "headless chicken," criticising it for abandoning its central theme in favour of a half-baked love story.

The crackdown on the dr*g syndicate is abandoned to become a half baked action love story!
Siddhant lacks the cutting edge of a commercial action hero
Even Raghav doesn’t get to show off as an antagonist.
The film gets tiring & convoluted pic.twitter.com/jOW2KLjoFK
Taking to X, a social media user wrote: "The crackdown on the dr*g syndicate is abandoned to become a half baked action love story! Siddhant lacks the cutting edge of a commercial action hero. Even Raghav doesn’t get to show off as an antagonist. The film gets tiring & convoluted." Another one posted on X: "Yudhra was a major letdown. Weak plot, underdeveloped characters, and repetitive action scenes. The pacing was off, and the emotional beats fell flat. Disappointing overall. 4/10."
Rating: ⭐️⭐️#Yudhra is a DISAPPOINTMENT. Few things in the film like the BGM, Cinematography & the Action stand out while it is pretty much flat otherwise. Director #RaviUdyawar tries his best but the weak writing does not offer much scope. 👎👎👎 #YudhraReview… pic.twitter.com/7CVN4Iw6FY

Went into the theater expecting a gritty, intense action-packed experience like #KILL, but #Yudhra turned out to be a lackluster disappointment. The film struggles to develop its characters, leaving them…
Siddhant Chaturvedi's portrayal has been deemed promising at times but monotonous overall, with some suggesting he lacks the charisma typically expected of a commercial action hero. Raghav Juyal's role also received criticism, with reviewers noting he does not get enough opportunity to shine as an antagonist. While the film's background music and cinematography received some praise, many found the writing lacking, calling it weak and outdated.

One film fanatic stated, "The film starts off well but becomes repetitive after that," suggesting that the pacing detracted from the overall film experience. Another review emphasised the disjointed action sequences, devoid of emotional depth. Despite these criticisms, a few reviewers noted the chemistry between Siddhant and Malavika as a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster film.
#Yudhra is the another attempt of Hollywood action movie with indian actors But without any emotions #SiddhantChaturvedi excels in action sequences acting is ok. It reminds me of gentleman. Indian action movies should feel indian. Action sequences are good but that's it Souless pic.twitter.com/mtfULqNO8E
