The concept of the movie is absolutely about a new concept. Here girls are hired for surrogacy and are kept in a closed apartment without having zero contact with anyone. They were said that the hot shots people hire these girls and take their respective babies after their delivery. Neither the mother nor the couples who pay for their deliveries come in contact with each other during the delivery period. Samantha Ruth who played "Yashoda" in this movie agrees for surrogacy so that she can arrange money for her sister's operation. Yashoda while staying in the closed apartment discovers that something is fishy and the film is about whole investigation. Very new topic,may be it would be unacceptable to larger audience but yes it's a movie for all Samantha lovers.

Samantha shines, Intriguing plot, Average in making
samabc-3195215 December 2022
In 2009, a SFC based cosmetics company Neocutis Inc admitted that it used cells from a male fetus as one of the key ingredients in its age defying cream. It used the
Processed Skin Cell Protein -PSP, obtained from a postage stamp-sized rectangle of skin taken from a terminated 14-week old male fetus in Switzerland. This scandalized the anti-abortionists across the nation. Although, the fetal kidney cells are being used for the polio vaccine.
The plot of this movie is based on these lines. It feels quite preposterous. An intriguing tandem plot with almost equally weighted two storylines. It unravels an ugly truth. It has however, few unfounded de trop elements for example rape attempt, bullying and overstretched conclusion. The protagonist played by Samantha Prabhu who delivers a commendable performance and her character is cultivated in a stable unhurried manner. But an outmoded bolly/tollywood drama makes a supposedly an excellent unique modern mystery drama somewhat ineffectual and little run-of-the-mill. Still an okay watch.

The story heavily borrows plot points from Korean thrillers, lacking originality.
The narration follows predictable and clichéd patterns, failing to bring anything fresh or engaging to the table.
Throughout the screenplay, there are illogical, unconvincing, and tedious elements. The dialogues feel amateurish, and the outdated plot twists come across as childish and laughable.
Ironically, the film's antagonist is a woman who jeopardizes her health and sacrifices her child for the sake of artificial beauty.
The direction is extremely poor, demonstrating a lack of judgment on the part of the director. They struggle to handle both the actors and the technicians effectively.
While the production appears rich, everything comes across as artificial, much like Samantha's presence in the film.
The sets themselves feel unreal and fail to create an immersive experience.
Samantha seems out of place in her performance. Her overacting and the decision to dub her own voice detract from the overall quality of the film. However, her marketability and promotional efforts may serve as advantages.
All the fight sequences are choreographed more like dances, resulting in silly and comical scenes. Additionally, the actors tend to overact in order to match Samantha's exaggerated performance.
The background score is unnecessarily loud and overly utilised, potentially overwhelming the viewer.
On a positive note, the cinematography and editing are decently executed.
If you choose to watch this film, it is encouraged to spread positive word of mouth, considering Samantha's health struggles and her resilience as a fighter.

A fantastic thriller
yogeshevolution19 December 2022
The movie plot is really good . The suspense thriller and all the ingredients require to keep you engaged are in this movie. The concept shown is terrific and also Samantha with her amazing acting has added more glory to the movie. All the cast has played the role perfectly. Keeps you on the edge till end . The level of South movies is achieving new heights day by day and the main reason is the story/script which is really heart of movie. Really enjoyed it. A must watch one.
Such indulging movies are treat for those who loves to watch good content and not just that overacting overdoers ......

In simple words this movie is a masterpiece and That is the reason why bollywood can't even catch the 5% of south indian movies storylines. South indian film makers are working on movies on other dimension. Hats off to film makers. Bollywood can't even imagine the content of real entertainment. You will see in near future that bollywood crap will try to make remake of this masterpiece also and try to ruin it and that is the reason most of the indians stopped watching all the bollywood crap and south movies doing immensely great in hindi belts. Bollywood is almost on an edge to become vanished.

The story is decent and the flashback is quite solid. Other than that the shades of multiple Hollywood movies spoil the fun of the movie. Lot of scenes resembles "the Island" movie and even action scenes.
When you don't have connection to the pain of the characters, you will loose the interest on the movie completely. The twist in the end is only help to boast the heroine commercial angle, nothing to the viewers.
The story is quite predictable and the lengthy running time tests the viewers patience sometime. One time watchable for the story and flashback.

CLICHE is the name. What a waste of time
hema_bornwild11 December 2022
Cliche story, cliche villains, cliche heros, cliche scams, cliche murders. Oh God. I'm regretting watching this horrible of a movie and wasting my precious Saturday afternoon.
It's like a typical 1980's thriller where in the end Prabhakar Srinath Dwarakish all find the villain.
Don't waste your time. I fell for the 8.1 on imdb. I was lazy to read reviews. I should have.
What makes the filmmakers think we are still the same audience as 30 years ago to watch such movies.
The pain of wasting time on such craps is inconsolable.
Hope someone will find this review at the right time and save yourself the suffering.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu Proves It's A One Women Show Performance In & As 'Yashoda' !!!
cs_rahul_prasad9 December 2022
Hari and Harish's Yashoda takes a very real-world situation, ups the ante and on top of everything, bank on a dependable actor like Samantha to carry it through. The directors introduce you to the story while integrating a surrogacy tale with a murder investigation. The little details behind the characterisation and the mysterious universe help Yashoda rise above an average thriller.
Yashoda (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is a surrogate in desperate need of money. Instead of carrying out her pregnancy in the basti she lives in, she is urged to move to the high-end facility Eva, owned by Madhu (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar). It also helps that she has Dr. Gowtam (Unni Mukundan), who's easy on the eyes, looking after her health. While the clinically white rooms, pastel outfits, luxurious food and great company seem like a dream-come-true for any pregnant woman, cracks soon form on the surface. A disappearance here, a glitch there and soon Yashoda finds herself unravelling the mystery behind it all.
On the other hand, in the world outside Eva, we also have a murder mystery unravelling. A Hollywood starlet dies under mysterious circumstances, so do a tycoon and a super model. An unknown drug (apart from a fairness cream!) seem to hold the key to the whole mystery. Secret codes, dead policemen, loose ends - how does it all connect to the facility ?
The first half of Yashoda banks heavily on comedy and emotion. The scenes where smart-mouthed Yashoda flirts with Gowtam, pulls pranks on the facility workers and banters with the many women like her there makes you chuckle. Every woman there has a story and more often than not, it's much more to do with than just being a vessel to help childless parents. The more Yashoda seems to find out about the facility, the more a team of police men (Murli Sharma, Shatru, Sampath Raj) seem to lose track of their investigation, stumbling upon road blocks.
A fight scene right before the interval sets the tone for what's to follow - an edge-of-the-seat thriller that sees Yashoda claw and fight her way out of the situation she's in.
Samantha steals the show as the titular Yashoda. This is her film through and through. She even draws whistles with the way she kicks butt and delivers punch dialogues with ease. The more she gets into action mode the more you both have fun and flinch at the same time. Varalaxmi and Unni Mukundan sell their roles well. You just know there's something simmering beneath the surface, waiting to come out. And when it does, it comes out well. However, rest of the cast, including Rao Ramesh, Murli Sharma, Sampath Raj and co play their parts well.
Yashoda is the film to catch this weekend if you're looking for something beyond the usual masala fare or love stories. Watch it especially if you're a fan of thrillers or are a fan of Samantha. You won't regret it.

atypical thriller
saru202022 December 2022
Certainly has a different plot with the usually expected twists & turns yet it's gripping to a certain extent with multiple flaws.
Music, BGM, songs, and comedy could've been improvised to better it up.
Female protagonist-based movies usually work to some extent and this film also stays on the higher side of that range.
Though Varalakshmi's characterization & sequences were base for this movie, her character wasn't strong enough & some of the sequences she was in were not so engagingly made.
Overall, it's a good one-time watch for thriller fans with a different plot although you might guess the turns way too earlier in the film.

It's Ridiculous
sunilbhatsrs10 December 2022
Can you just imagine a Criminal Nexus going live on a video conference and giving each detail of the crime?
Can you imagine a cabinet minister coming on a video call for an ordered execution?
Vasudev simply goes on telling the DIG was behind all of that without no backing evidences. A sitting commissioner goes to kill someone as if he is a supari killer.
These were only a few of many illogical stuffs in the movie.
The movie started well. But the director could not hold it for long. Tried to force fit too many twists and turns which did not make sense at all
Logic did thousand deaths in this movie.

Inspired by Sci-fi Genre of Hollywood but refreshingly original
joydeep-0476118 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The script is strong and raises questions on the ethics of the cosmetics industry. There is a surprising number of articles in the internet where renowned cosmetics company have been lambasted for using collagens for human foetuses to reverse aging. The question is why isn't the movie getting enough push. The movie follows two different story arcs, which converge at the end. Spearheaded effectively by Samantha, this movie keeps the audience tightly engaged in the second half. The back-story reveal is non-linear and adds more impetus to the climax. It's a must-watch for all sci-fi movie lovers though the Hollywood influence is visible. The shock value of the movie though a tad predictable since the beginning is enough to place this movie among the top 10 Telugu movies released this year.

An Ambitious Action-Thriller Dragged Down By Senseless Execution.
SAMTHEBESTEST19 November 2022
Yashoda (2022) :
Movie Review -
Hari-Harish's action thriller, Yashoda, starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the titular character, is the same old mindless South film that we used to avoid before Bahubali, RRR, KGF, Pushpa, and Kantara came along. Yashoda tries to be a smart spy thriller, but believe me, it runs on such a senseless path led by the directors that even a decent script starts annoying you. If you have seen the James Bond series, the Mission Impossible series, and some other known spy action thrillers from the global cinema, then Yashoda has nothing but cinematic torture for you. But if you are unaware of those popular foreign flicks and enjoy watching influential and adapted stuff, then you can have a good time at the movies with a kick-ass female lead.
The film is about a young girl named Yashoda (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), who goes through surrogacy and is admitted to a secret, top-class place called "EVA." She starts getting acquainted with the surroundings, headed by Madhubala (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar), and even falls in love with the male doctor, Gautham (Unni Mukundan). However, she learns about illegal activities regarding surrogacy and sets out to bring the perpetrators to justice, while the cops are looking for a racket that is hunting foreigners in the outside world.
Yashoda is an ambitious script as it offers a lot of twists and thrills for a normal massy brain. The problem is in the screenplay and execution. Both are bad, ohh sorry, terribly bad. The screenplay will make you accustomed to plenty of loops, illogical characters, horrible scenes, uncomfortable conflicts, and out-of-this-world heroinism. A pregnant woman can fight off easily like a normal girl, she can deceive CCTV cameras, the smart fellas who are running the place can be fooled easily, they can roam freely even after being attacked, they can't even take the girls as hostages, Dr. Gautam was a 'bloody scientist' (as he only quoted), but he has an IQ of a primary school student who doesn't know whom to love and why, and with whom to make business, Madhubala is more obsessed about beauty than fashion models and her own life, she can change life partners even before the second hand in the clock ticks on next Stop, and bla bla. How many more loops? I can't just fit enough in this short review. The first half passes without any motive, and by then you can predict the entire plot that will occur in the second half, which is referred to as "suspense."
Samantha is a good performer, and she has proven it in a few films (Mahanati, U-Turn), despite having played a simple beauty doll in many hero-oriented films. This role was a chance for her to prove her mettle as a mass heroine, and she does that, but falls short as an "actor." Her action sequences and dedication towards them are praiseworthy, but expression and acting are left behind. Please note that I am not talking about dialogue delivery because I had to see the film with horrendous Hindi dubbing. Unni Mukundan and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar's attitudes, which have some typical South villain vibes but are such childishly written characters, take you by surprise. Rao Ramesh, Sampath Raj, Murali Sharman, Satru, and Madhurima have done what all side role actors usually do in regular mass films.
Coming to the technical aspects, except for action directors, all the other departments are highly disappointing. The loud background score will make your ears bleed with unwanted noise, the cinematography is dull, and the editing is very poor. The visual effects in some scenes are even worse than cartoons. Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan have brought the film down with their downgraded vision and outdated presentation. Why do the characters have to behave like the 80s villains, who hardly had anything to do with the brainstorming? And the irony is, you have to show them as scientists, ministers, cops, and educated people. Who's gonna believe it? The Hindi audience used to call these films mindless a few years ago, and Yashoda is a perfect fit in that league. Overall, an ambitious and enthusiastic action thriller with no stamina, organs, or brain.

Warning: Spoilers
I'll cut right into the chase, the film isn't too good nor too bad. The storyline and plot seemed unique and new, but the presentation was not up to the mark, it left a number of loopholes which ultimately led to a dissatisfactory ending. Bgm, acting and casting were good and it's worth a one time watch. A yashoda-2 for clearing the loopholes should make up for it. It didn't feel like it was left off as a suspense thriller but felt like the director had totally ignored those areas.
In short, Cons : 1. Not covering all the areas, and focused on only 1, no case was solved regarding Olivia's, arushi's death and how all of them got pregnant 2. Dialogues were weak 3. Average direction 4.
Pros : 1. Acting 2. Bgm 3. Good casting.

Best Telugu Movie of 2022
laughaholic18 December 2022
I just watched this movie and it was FANTASTIC. There is not one negative thing I could say about this or find one plot hole. They created this movie with everything making sense and everything falling into place so fabulously and I loved the twists and turns. Samantha did an incredible job. She showed the Telugu industry that you don't need to flip cars and stop trains with your hands to show heroism. Her acting and her action scenes were awesome. We need more woman empowering movies like this! I'm just gonna assume anyone who didn't like this movie either didn't understand or thinks only hero's can kick ass because I can't see any other reason for the low scores. I totally recommend giving it a watch!
Novel thrilling concept with pokiri touch
ptwtpbc15 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The concept used by the director and the writers was absolutely brilliant. The first half was very thrilling and very satisfactory. The problem for me is the average second half. It seems like the writers got a block while writing the story. The suspense created by the directors till the interval fizzled out towards the end. The twist( samanthas character is a police officer) wasnt as impactful because the direction and the stunts were very much indicative that she wasnt a normal lady. Also they could have explored the more emotional aspect of the story towards the end. Loved the science part of the story and very relevant as well but again i would count it as a missed opportunity.
Outdated, Illogical, Senseless, Immature
mastergirish9 December 2022
Though they had good storyline, director could not handle it and made it look like an amateur attempt. 2 parallel stories running don't help viewers in anyway. First half is somewhat watchable but 2nd half can't be tolerated. Direction is so immature that you just laugh at the screenplay and dialogues. Better avoid and don't waste your time.

shaikhsumera10 October 2023
Everything is great accept the graphics could have work better on that apart from that everything looks good just that the story is win direct click too much till the end of the movie which have been a bit precise however it's a good movie to watch one time and have some knowledge about the beauty how women go crazy behind beauty at any cost which is the good to know that we have to Limit are Expectations then anybody's life one thing I couldn't understand they could have easily done a surrogacy without killing the mothers have been by just take the baby since and the back there is no other things I don't understand why thet kill the mothers which was not needed script good to watch.

Movie Story was too good , But they again added their Muslim agenda and also Direction is too poor, Why always add Name Answar falna dhimkana to always golirfy them Liberals Sale Liberals hi rhege, That's why Love Zihad are increasing day by Day,. So make movie clean and improve ur direction..Not a justice with the story line. Director not use the fully potential of the script. Smantha acting is Good. Other actors are not too conventional, We are not attached with character, . But Again saying movie story are upto the mark hopeso any other actors use this story potential and also make justice with this film.
Good story worst story telling
saswatakarsk10 December 2022
The movie plot is quite unique..but the way the story unfolds will make you fall asleep. Such bad story telling that undermines the skill of such a veteran actor like Samantha. Couldn't exploit her full acting range.
Absolute bland build up to the plot twist.
Can't connect with the story, neither can be emotionally invested in the whole story.
The twist at the end is quite predictable.
The first half is so desperately boring that people might leave the theatre even before they reach the good part that is the last twenty to thirty minutes of the movie.
Could have done much much better with that story line. Much engaging story telling was required.
Watching the full movie left a very bad aftertaste.

PAISA VASOOL!!!!!!

I went into the theater with so much expectition and it was WORTH IT!!!!!
The Bgm is so goood it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Sam's acting was just CHEF'S KISSS. It was sooo goood The character are also nicely written.
The Twists are so good The First half was more of a emotional half AND the second was a good action thriller half The climax felt a little dragged But it was still a decent climax .
Overall = The movie is a good movie with a lot of twist and turns through out the movie with some good acting from the leads.
My overall rating is is a 9.2 /10 A good entertainer.
Oh and I read a lot of reviews after watching it and most of them said that this was routine or fails to deliver the main message of the movie .
To Me I got the message and it doesn't feel that routine to me at least.
I would recommend the movie to everyone .(Don't wait for ott this has a good theater experience)

A really good attempt
crravikiran22 December 2022
I watched this movie on OTT platform and it was really a good attempt . Although few areas in the movie might resemble Squid games web series, the concept and sci fi aspect looked a new attempt. It has to be Samanthas one of the best performance. Alongside her, Varalaxmi and Unni Mukundan also did a good job. I am not sure if such things happen in real life but if it does it's a big shame on the medical professionals involved in it. The genre is mentioned as suspense. Although there is suspense revealed at the end, I am sure most would have predicted it half way regarding the identity of Samantha in the movie . Overall a pretty decent attempt.
Started well, lost track later
gearxfx8 December 2022
The movie had a good start, but later lost track. The concept looks new and experimental to Indian cinema. Somewhere I feel the concept is inspired from the Netflix series Squid game.
But the execution was very bad with a lot of loopholes and not a convincing ending.. I Was waiting for this movie and saw it on amazon prime.
I could say it is one time watchable.
Acting by Samantha was just Ok. Action scenes look like Samantha has put good effort.
Direction is below average, could have been better or executed better.
Some homework to think about the current fake cosmetic market.
Every girl should think about.

Good effort and New type of movie for Indian cinema

Yashoda: Korean mix Telugu kinda movie
Highly recommended for Samantha fans, good effort by the team but if you're a Korean cinema fan you would know that this movie is a legit copy from all the Korean movies😂.
Good cinematography, BGM, and realistic set.
Good performance by Samantha Ruth Prabhu!
Overall: 7/10
