"Yamadonga" Movie Review
Raja (Jr Ntr) and his side kick (Ali) are petty thieves who rob for their living. Mamtha Mohan Das is a broker who gives them money for interest to perform their robberies. During one of the robbery mishaps, Raja scolds Yamadharmaraja (Mohan Babu) from Earth which is heard by Yama himself. Yama wants to take revenge and gets Raja killed in a kidnap dealing. Raja meets Priyamani during a robbery and falls in love with her before his death. Raja reaches Yamalokam after his death and comes to know about Yama’s tricks. What mischief Raja does there and how he comes back to Bhoolokam to save Priyamani from the clutches of villans and also how he wins her love forms the remaining part of the story.
Jr Ntr as an young and smart thief has proved his talent once more with this movie. He gave a new on-screen look by slimming down around 30 kgs and he looks simply superb. He gave a new definition to dance with his steps and style. Whoever may be the choreographer, it is because of Jr Ntr’s grace and ease, the steps are good. Ntr showed that he can do not only action movies but he can also do full length comedy flicks.
Mohan Babu is an added asset for the movie. His performance dominated even Ntr at few situations in the movie. His strong performance as a negative character highlighted the hero’s role and performance. He is the perfect choice for this role.
Priyamani is cute as the rich servant maid and Mamtha Mohan Das is good as the money broker. Though this movie is Mamtha’s first movie in telugu, she did a very good job both in acting as well as dubbing. Her performance as Yamadharmaraja is real good and impressive.
Ali, Brahmanandam, M.S.Narayana and other actors were adequate and good for their roles.
Art work by Anand Sai is far beyond excellence. Yamalokam set is deadly and shows the real talent of art director. Even the locations and indoor settings for the songs are also good. Panner Selvam’s first action sequence is the highlight of the movie. It showed Ntr’s vigour and speed after slimming down. Special effects by EFX Labs are a visual treat to the audience.
Dynamic director Rajamouli has put forward a movie which is completely different from his previous movies. It is a fantasy movie combined with comedy. The movie has the trademark symbol of Rajamouli in every aspect. He showed the other side of Ntr with this comedy flick. He proved that he is one of the most talented and rare directors of Tollywood.t will be surely a hat-rick success for both Ntr and Rajamouli.
High Lights : Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao Graphic role in 7th reel, Soundarya in Graphic role in swargam for short span, Yamalok Set which has surpassed the expectation of the audiences by many folds. The quality can be compared to any Hollywood film.
Special Apperances: Veda, Navneet Kour, Preethi Jingyani, Madhu Shalini,Parvathi Melton as Dancers in Narakam and Rambha in Item song(Nachore..Nachore..)
