Positives:

• Mammootty’s Performance
• Dialogues
• Emotional Scenes

Negatives:

• Few Drags in 1st Half
• Little too much about YSR

Analysis:

Yatra, that had decent pre-release buzz and impressed us with the promos released today. Mahi V Raghav, who delivered a hit with Anando Brahma has come up with an interesting story, the story about legendary leader’s walkathon that brought congress party to power. Mahi stayed true to the story and never deviates from it, however as it is only about Yatra you may feel the drag sometimes. However, the BGM is pretty good and elevates the emotions a lot. Mammootty needs a big shoutout for getting into the skin of YSR and nailed the performance. Yatra will be a feast for YSR fans and even neutral fans can give it a watch. However, we have to see it’s commercial success depending on how neutral movie goers embrace the movie.
