Movie Review - Yamadonga
Introduction: SS Rajamouli, Keeravani, Jr NTR and Mohanbabu combination done the magic, SS Rajamouli is clearly heading towards scoring a double hat-rick with Yamadonga. It is inspired from the NT Rama Rao (senior)'s Yamagola, Mohanbabu has done the role of Lord Yama, it has many female leads, only two of them appear for more than 3 minutes. The combination of Mohan Babu and Jr.NTR has proved a big commercial element. The magic of MM Keeravani music and well-done quality of visual effects are major plus points to the movie.
Story:
Orphaned Raja (NTR) is a hardcore thief and
he can do anything to achieve his target of
earning money in fast track, so
that he could settle in life once for all. Several biggies hire his services. One fine day, A ravishing beauty Mahi
(Priyamani), who is the sole rights holder of a
massive zamindari property of Rs. 250 crore, falls in love with him. The same
girl happens to be his childhood well-wisher, who
in turn would consider the boy as her prince. He
gets ready to surrender the girl to the people who wants to kill her for her
riches. But, the gang cheats him and kills him.
Raja reaches the Yamaloka Yamaloka and is engaged
to neck and neck competition with Yama (Mohan Babu). After a winsome streak, he
returns to earth. Yama is desperate to take his
life again to hell. But, he himself is so moved
that he is all happy to see the young man escape death.
Performance:
 Jr.NTR: You will see a new NTR in this film. He
looks stylishly slender, charged with high voltage power in his histrionics in all departments, be it emotions,
sentiment, love, action or dance. His dance
movements are fluid and effortless. The way he moves his body to seemingly unbelievable dance movement in Nachore song is
amazing. He has played two roles in the movie.
one as thief and other as young Lord Yama for a brief time. He has essayed both
the roles with finesse. His body language,
dialogue delivery in the mythological role and his words of exchange with Mohan Babu are real feast.  Mohan Babu: Is a big asset to this film, He is best suited to the role of Yama and he has carried it off very well. His performance and diction in his introduction scene and interval episodes are extraordinary. He once again proved his excellent dialogue delivery skills with this film.  Priyamani: Priyamani is not shown in glamour but she looks very beautiful and played her role as an orphaned and victimized heir to a zamindar's legacy with total perfection.  Mamta Mohandas: Mamta Mohandas who steals the show in the second half. Her Nellore slang and performance deserves special mention. is cute and glamorous. She has ample footage in the second half of the movie. Brahmanandam played the role of Chitragupta to hilarious levels.
Ali played the hero's friend. MS Narayana's role is
memorable. Jayaprakash Reddy played the villain,
who wants to knock away the zamindar's riches. Siva Parvathi acted the role of
mother-in-law to thezamindar's
heiress.
Technical Details:
Rajamouli's concept of Yamalok is done with superb
imagination, he deserves high praise for his
unique imagination and molded it into a wonderful socio-fantasy with logical
conclusion. His screenplay and direction is all
gripping, coupled with arresting narration. Despite doing a socio-fantasy film, he succeeded in stuffing it with
commercial elements in tune with the pulse of the
audience.
Mohan Babu's mannerism Bambola Jambha makes a
catchy word. There is one dialogue which has maximum punch - " Nyayaniki Anyayaniki, Dharmaniki Adharmaniki madhya
jarige yuddamlo, goda meedha pillila unde vanni
sala sala kaage noonelo veyyali.".
Graphical presentation of NTR dancing and
conversing with his grandson NTR will work out as a good commercial element, besides enthusing the Nandamuri
fans.
MM Keeravani's music worked as magic to this film.
The music experienced in the theatre is different
from the mere listening to the audio. The background score is
superb.
Special effects are richly done. The agonized soul
of NTR sitting besides the body is a good visual.
Similarly, the chase of Yamapasam after NTR and his slipping into a ravine are
executed with skill. Yamalok set is a major
attraction in the film. Ever since the launch of the movie, the set became a hot topic in the industry. Rajamouli deserves
the praise for making such a terrific set,
considered Asia's biggest ever. Cinematography is good. Production Values are outstanding.
FC Verdict:
The movie is opened to hit talk as a clean family entertainer, no vulgarity in the film. A must watch for all.             |
