Yatra Movie Review | YSR Biopic Yatra Review & rating | Mammootty | Suhasini | Top Telugu TV


Mahi Raghav’s Yatra starts with the daughter of a leader asking Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy (Mammootty) for protection from her dad’s assassins. Everyone is surprised because YSR goes to the extent of opposing his own party to support her, despite her father being against YSR. His logic – if a woman comes to you for help, will you play politics? That is the tone of the movie and that is how it stays until the very end.

Mammootty looms large over this YSR tribute which has just one agenda – to celebrate YSR’s much-admired Padayatra through the state. The movie is entirely made to celebrate how YSR turned the tables against a powerful ruling party despite the lack of resources, or strong support from the party high-command. As a movie, there isn’t much to critique, largely because Yatra treats YSR’s story from just one lens – that of a true admirer and sympathiser..
