Yogi Babu tries hard to entertain with this fantasy adventure but is let down by a poor execution that demands for a more gripping ride!
Dharmaprabhu does have a few good episodes and few funny one-liners and enjoyable scenes. But the big picture is that of a half baked one due to the lack of an impactful screenplay and scene by scene narrative. If the makers had decided to concentrate more on the values that might be an additive to the plotline and story and played with humour around the plot, it could have been a very engaging and different fantasy film. However, the intention of touching upon rape, issues in agirculture, politics, caste based idaily problems and our beloved freedom fighters are all good. But this alone cannot save an entire film running close to 2.5 hours and that is exactly the case with Yogi Babu's Dharmaprabhu.(more)

A hideously uncomic experience
This is a film in which you'll see characters dressed like Periyar, Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose, and none of them manage to make any impact at all apart from looking like they were plucked from a fancy dress competition rehearsal. Janani Iyer stars in a blink-and-miss role that includes a duet that has no business existing. Director Muthukumaran could have done a lot better with the dates of a leading comedian like Yogi Babu than dish up this hideously unfunny offering that the makers describe as a film.(more)

The newly-appointed Yama who goes to Chennai with Chitraguptan, saves a politician with criminal records by mistake when he attempts to stop the death of a little girl
Yogi Babu and Ramesh Thilak, who appear in most of the scenes, have a good chemistry, but the weak writing and flat dialogues leave no impact. The film has a bevy of proven artistes like Radha Ravi, Azhagam Perumal, Rekha, Bose Venkat, Janani Iyer, etc, but sadly none of them are able to lift any sequence because of the ineffective making and screenplay.(more)

This Fantasy Drama for Yogibabu's Comedy Comes to Dharmaprabhu once and for all.
The verses of the film were great for the film. Yogi Babu has written the script with director Muthukumaran. The comedy film, though, is only a few places to laugh at.(more)

Lacks grandeur and creativity
Dharmaprabhu cannot even be termed as poorly made TV fantasy comedy as the standards of daily soaps has been tremendously improved these days!(more)

This partly funny comedy about Yama turns into a preachy bore
Dharma Prabhu quite needlessly takes on the mantle of messaging. It appears even narakalokam isn't immune to the rampant disease of posturing.(more)

An Exhausting, Hypocritical Comedy
The film is highly preachy and the jokes which work are few and far in between(more)
