Neither A Hit Or Miss Operation!

A solid story about surrogate mothers and the worrying crimes happening around it. Unfortunately, it offers only minimal engagement and the pace is nowhere brisk, lacking gripping moments.(more)

Samantha tries hard to uplift this half-baked story

he proceedings to the interval and the climax are laden with some unintentionally funny sequences, which is one of the reasons why the audiences are never truly invested in the story. Even when the backstories of Yashoda and Madhu are unfolding on screen, you watch it with a blank expression on your face. Coming to the performances, it is Samantha�s show all the way. She excels in carefully choreographed stunt sequences, which are a treat to watch on screen. Similarly, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Unni Mukundan play characters with negative shades and they are apt. Murali Sharma, Shatru, Rao Ramesh and the supporting actors have delivered decent performances.(more)

Samantha's performance and presence, as well as the film's basic concept and certain episodes, are its strong points. Despite some predictability, it makes an okay watch.(more)

Samantha 'delivers' a stellar performance

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.(more)
