What happens to Yuga in the stiff opposition from Pai gang? You want to know it. Go and watch this action feast.
In his debut director Chandra has worked on the scenes not on the story. His screenplay is tight and appealing to the front benchers.
Dhuniya Vijay action scenes are splendid. His front and back somersaults and strength in action is the redeeming feature of this film. He has to improve in dialogue deliver and make an attempt to look decent. Kavya has no big deal in her debut. Sudha Belawadi's controlled emotion is as usual best.
The second notable aspect of this film is cinematography by Veenus Murthy. The angles he has chosen the action scenes he has captured deserves him applaud. Two songs are OK in 'Yuga'.
A film for action lovers 'Yuga' showcases actor Vijay's capacity in electrifying stunts.
Scoring 6/10
