Plot

[edit]

The film narrates the events leading up to the rise of Jagan Reddy . After the demise of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, his son Jagan wants to console the people through 'Odarpu Yatra'. While some party members want him to be the next Chief Minister, the party high-command doesn't approve it. They file cases on Jagan and pressurize him to accept their decision. He disobeys them and launches his own political party. The party high-command and the opposition party join hands to bring him down. He loses 2014 elections but eventually wins 2019 elections to become the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

Reception

[edit]

123telugu rated the film with 1.5/5 stars, stating, "Yatra 2 is an dishonest attempt to showcase the happenings in the personal and political lives of YS Jagan after his father Rajashekara Reddy’s demise. Mammootty and Jiiva shine in their roles. Music composer Santhosh Narayanan fails to elevate the movie to the next level. On the flip side, the lack of emotional connection in a few intense scenes, a slow-paced second half, and a few untouched events in YS Jagan’s life serve as the drawbacks. If you are a fan of the respective leader, you will find Yatra 2 as the best fictional biographical political movie, but if you watch it as a normal audience, you will walk out with the feeling of watching a decent film".[10]

The Times of India rated 1.5/5, writing "Yatra 2 is a thought-provoking exploration of political perseverance and personal resilience. Jiiva's portrayal of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is powerful , offering a window into the complexities of political leadership and familial legacy. This political drama sheds light on the dynamics of power, and governance, appealing to viewers differently depending on their political affiliations".[11]

Raghu Bandi of The Indian Express rated the film with 1/5 stars and wrote "Yatra 2 is strictly for YSRCP and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy fans. There is not much of politics or biography here. It is just a drumroll supporting Jagan."[12]
