The interest and curiosity the first half contained in 'Yogaraja...But' is carried over in the second half instead of succumbing to divine powers this film would have reached good height.
Like all his films so far Dayal Padmanabhan fails to impress in the second half. The building in first half he bulldoze in the second half. Yet, Yograja...But is interesting for Naveen Krishna, Neethu, lovely dialogues a few good tunes, good cinematography.
Yogaraja (Naveen Krishna) studying psychology is practicing astrology is a lively persons and keeping everyone in good stead is his goal. Looking at his attitudes and philosophy in life it is Sihi (Neethu) who is impressed. Sihi on her way to London on a brief stopover in Bengaluru seeks the help of Yogaraja. In the journey to various offices before getting the tickets to London Sihi come across certain values which she had not encountered in life. She had secluded life in Siddaganga Math for a long time and an administrator of the place where she was brought up.
The attitudes of Sihi and Yogaraj meet well and it is first Yogaraja who proposes. He waits for the next morning to know the results. Curious to know what Sihi says the fate of Yogaraj is bad. He is killed in an accident. The unsatisfied soul in the mortuary of Yogaraja shouts at God of Death. In a disguise Yamaraja arrives to mortuary. Yogaraj pleads and the lord pushes the 'Kalachakra' back. So what happens? Yogaraj regains life from the accident spot and he gets the nod from Sihi for his love. The accident for Yogaraj is once again in the store on the day Sihi arrives from London.
This time Yamaraja lies saying even Sihi life is also short on earth. That is the ending of the film. It is so abrupt and illogical.
The dialogue diction of Naveen Krishna and his histrionics are like a comedian sometimes. He is too good in emotions. Neethu in a different kind of role has variety and succeeds in giving a convincing performance. Suchendra Prasad and Srinivasamurthy are the other two strikers of this film.
Newcomer Amrutha as sister in the film is very promising. Two songs of Milnd Dharmasena - Sukumari Sukumari Singari Chanda Mayuri...song is the best one.
Rakesh has done good job behind the camera. The placement of the camera inside the Omni vehicle is well planned.
Score - 6/10
