Negatives:

Slow paced second half

Performances:

Mammooty carries the entire film on his shoulders and he should be appreciated for his transformation as YSR. After the first five minutes, Mammootty looks and sounds exactly like YSR in the film. Ashritha Vemuganti is a perfect find for YS Vijayamma and she looks decent in the role. Rao Ramesh is the other highlight of the film and he reprises the role of KVP Ramachandra Rao in the film. Jagapathi Babu surprises as Raja Reddy and as usual he delivers out his best for the role. All the other actors have been decent in their roles.

Yatra has a impactfull emotional drama. The screenplay has been decent but the second half should be penned better. The music and the cinematography work stands out in this film. The production values have been top notch and Mahi V Raghav has been decent with his work. Throughout the film we see a leader who stands for the people without greed for the power or for the chair.

Verdict:
