The movie which is a remake of Telegu movie ' Leader' received average to negative reviews from the critics and was not received well by the audience as well.
The film which has been produced by Vashu Bhagnani and directed by debutant Syed Ahmad Afzal, also starred late actor Farooq Sheikh in a pivotal role.
While 'Youngistaan' is an independent entry to the coveted awards, India's official entry is ' Liar's Dice' written and directed by Geetu Mohandas which stars Geetanjali Thapa and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.
