Yamadonga

Yamadonga-“is it a remake of the super hit of yesteryear’s Yamagola?” was my first feeling when I heard about the movie. And it was true to an extent. The movie has all the fantasy elements of the old version and also a number of other things which captivate u and hold you spell-bound for a complete 3 hours.

The first surprise you get once the movie has started is an extremely slim and fit looking NTR. It took me almost the whole time to actually believe that this was the same guy who had done Rakhi….

Then there is the plot-a petty thief who gets killed by Yama when he scolds the latter. This thief is so clever that he usurps even Yama’s power and threatens his place in heaven!!! The entire naraka episode is filled with anecdotes and comedy. Superb dialogue delivery by the 2 yamas (NTR and Mohan Babu) brings the house down.

The songs are an added asset to the movie. They go along with the flow and are foot-tapping.

Coming to the cast-Priyamani is really sweet as the curbed and tortured heiress; Mamta Mohandas entertains with her Nellore dialect (abbayya….). Rambha sizzles in the item song just as she did in Desamuduru.

And last but definitely not the least-NTR is the toast of the film. This being the first film of his that I’ve watched, it’s been an awesome experience. He’s an absolutely great actor, a stupendous dancer and a good comedian. To top it all, he’s enticing in his new look.

SO all you guys who have any misconceptions about watching this movie, brush them aside and GO FOR IT!! (You’ll never regret your decision- Young Yama nijanga iragesadu)
