This write-up seeks to address the question of the postcolonial identity which emerges from the text, Yuva (2004) by Mani Ratnam. The subject(s) form a sense of communal unity in identity despite being from different social and regional backgrounds, highlighting different roles/identities being played out during the course of the movie and how these identities synthesize by the end of it.

All six major characters have different ways of overcoming the suspicion of the bomb being dropped.The suspicion of a bomb being dropped provoked Kiyoshi Tanimoto enough that he paused at the door of a rich man’s house in Koi, the city’s western suburb, and prepared to unload a handcart full of things he had evacuated from town in fear of the massive B-29 raid”(Hersey 2).
