Yesterday tells the story of Jack Malik(Himesh Patel). Jack is a musician, who is still trying to get a foothold in the industry. One day he wakes up in an alternate reality, where everyone has forgotten about the evergreen band, The Beatles. Jack is the only person who seems to know, who The Beatles are.
Yesterday is a fantastic movie. Director Danny Boyle steps out of his usual genres & collaborates with romantic comedy veteran screenwriter, Richard Curtis. The end result is comedic, emotional, romantic, foot-tapping & pure unadulterated entertainment. The various locales have been captured phenomenally by cinematographer Christopher Ross. Himesh Patel is the star of the show, as Jack Malik. Patel shines in his debut & is going to be a talent to watch out for, in Hollywood. He sings beautifully. Lily James is spectacular as Ellie Appleton. Himesh Patel & Lily James' warm & effortless chemistry, is the highlight of the film. Joel Fry is brilliant as Rocky. Meera Syal & Sanjeev Bhaskar are awesome as Sheila Malik & Jed Malik, respectively. Ed Sheeran is amazing, playing a version of himself. Kate McKinnon is mind-blowing as Debra Hammer. The supporting cast is great. Yesterday is a must watch for fans of The Beatles, romantic comedy fans & more or less everyone else. It is an absolute joy to listen to so many of The Beatles' songs & take a trip down memory lane. Go & have a rocking time!
