An ode to Old school
In the nutshell the movie pays tribute to the original super-hit "Yamagola" and blends in a few tried-and-test sub-plots (read that as 1980's formula loaded with cinematic liberties). Nonetheless, it is an interesting watch and delivers good laughs.
Jr. NTR:: Performance wise, strictly OK considering the fact that "original" NTRs blood runs in his veins. And yes, his dancing skills deserve special mention - very supple & fluid.
Mohan Babu:: Initially, you search for Satyanarayana in the character but as you go along the tide you feel his performance is equally impressive, if not better.
Priyamani:: Manages to effective evoke the sympathy of the audience with her "miss-goody-two-shoes" performance and her soft expressions. You are glued to her until Mamta Mohandas appears on the screen.
Mamta Mohandas:: Now she is one heavy-weight if I might use the expression for every time she appears in the frame she sets it ablaze. Bessotted - completely!
Khusboo:: No meat in the character.
Naresh:: Good to see after a long hiatus and well suited for the role of Narada.
Rest of the star cast is adequate.
The art department and the CGI deserves nothing short of standing ovation. And same should be said for the concept of resurrecting the "orignal NTR". Needless to say, very clever and indeed innovative considering the fact its great to see the duo share the screen space.

Thief Of Yama
Thief of Yama is a gripping mythological thriller blending fantasy, crime, and philosophy. It follows a daring thief caught between life and death, exploring karma, destiny, and redemption. With strong visuals, sharp writing, and a haunting mood, it's a thought-provoking and unique watch. Overall Nice movie.
Is It Even A Film?
Nahh it's definitely not a film. It's a 3 hr long spoof/sketch video which was supposed to be posted over YouTube Kids, which even kids wouldn't have enjoyed.
Junior NTRs above average acting is the only positive element in this movie. Talk of anything else - direction, concept, story, characterization, dialogues, supporting cast, action scenes - they're all below average to be best.
Still I don't know why I gave this film 4/10. It doesn't deserve more than 2/10. But ok, Rajamoulis film - hence added 2 more as bonus lolπ
Anything else left? 50 more characters required, so let me add another line - "Worst Rajamouli movie ever"

Movie not be missed. NTR's Outstanding Performance
This is a good movie which is not be missed. NTR's acting is outstanding and the director's work needs appreciation. The good part of the movie is screenplay and NTR's dances. Music in the film is excellent. The graphic scenes of legendary NTR's are awesome. Every aspect of the film is good. Director S.S. Rajamouli is known for his commitment. He took up a socio-fantasy subject line for this film. He knows very well that the success of this movie would give him a hat-trick with NTR. Rajamouli's experiment really did wonders and made the audiences watch an extra-ordinary film that was beyond the expectations of all the audiences in general and NTR fans in particular. It is like a home production for Rajamouli. NTR enthralled the audiences with his extraordinary dancing skills and also in action scenes. He was able to show fantastic expressions in sentiment scenes as well.
Similar story with Bruce Almighty which came way more earlier in 2003
This is a great movie but it seems a little similar with an American movie Bruce almighty which came few years earlier to this movie
