Review
The makers of ‘Yashoda’ claim it to be the biggest pan-India female-centric movie ever made in India.
The film is definitely worth the hype. Set up in the backdrop of a Telegu surrogacy center, the film looks authentic. The narrative of the film is smooth, engaging, and, crisp. ‘Yashoda’ has undeniably succeeded to capture the attention of the audience.
Varalakshmi Sarath Kumar is evidently getting better with each film. As the head of the surrogacy center, she has done her part skillfully. The flashback scene in the second half of the film with Rao Ramesh is very good.
The film has made an impact. Samantha undoubtedly did a great job. It is the first time Samantha played the role of a character like Yashoda. And owned the part. She had effortlessly managed the pregnant setup and the action part.
Part one of the film is very interesting but falls flat in the scenes after Yashoda reaches the center. In part two, the surrogacy scam is revealed. And the back story of the antagonist has not been shown clearly.
Overall the cast did a great job of squeezing every ounce of emotions into this film. The fight scenes are intense and intriguing.
The songs and music of the film stuck to the theme and therefore enhanced the film. Music director Mani Sharma did a brilliant task. The BGM created a strong impact on the film, making this film a must-watch.
Fans who had watched the FDFS of this film are already sharing their reviews on Twitter.
