Plot

The movie begins with Priyanka Shetty (Hariprriya) shooting assistant commissioner of police Aditya Varma (Vasishta Simha) at a spa in Munnar. While Priyanka is the wife of businessman Rahul, Aditya is the ACP from Bengaluru. Priyanka claims that she killed Aditya because he had raped her. Priyanka approaches Ashok Teja (Diganth), a corrupt police inspector, who is ready to help people accused of crimes for money. Priyanka pleads with Ashok to help her and ensure that no evidence is available to the public prosecutor. Ashok narrates to her about Adarsh Bhat, a teenager from Coonor, lodging a missing complaint with the police. He also reveals the secret of her husband, who is gay. He tells her how the police neglected to investigate the disappearance of Avinash Bhat (Avinash). He asks her where she hid Avinash's body. The more she refuses to confess, the more Ashok compels her to reveal where she has hid the body. As the plot unravels, we get to know who Ashok is and what happens to Priyanka.

Critical response

Vinay Lokesh of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The plot which thrives on narration pattern and nail biting scenes hits the nail in the climax. The project which is the official remake of Evaru stays true to the core.Full marks to Hariprriya for pulling off Priyanka's character which has negative shades. Diganth perfectly steps into the shoes of maverick cop Adithya. Vasista gives his best. Yadha Yadha Hi has all the elements which will make a perfect weekend watch". [17]

Shraddha of The New Indian Express gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Credit must be given to the original writer of the Spanish film, who etched a conversational crime story. Since Yadha Yadha Hi is an adaptation, it does have a ready reckoner in place, which the filmmaker could have made good use of. However, director Ashok Teja stumbles when it comes to ensuring a crisp screenplay. The plotline is marred by excessive twists and turns, occasionally leaving the audience confused. For instance, the film introduces Adarsh Bhat as a character who seeks Ashok Teja’s assistance in investigating the disappearance of his father, only to later reveal that Ashok Teja himself is, in fact, Adarsh Bhat. Furthermore, the film suffers from its duration, as it could have benefited from some trimming to maintain a more engaging experience.When it comes to performances, Hariprriya’s acting, which sees a blend of determination, vulnerability, and cunning, command attention. As a heroine, she has a substantial full-length role that showcases her talent after a considerable time. Her chemistry with Vasishta is palpable, and their on-screen dynamic works seamlessly. Vasishta Simha in the limited space he is given, puts forth his best effort to display his acting prowess. Diganth, on the other hand, ventures into uncharted territory, portraying a character that embodies both positive and negative shades. His convincing portrayal and ample screen time allow him to make the most of this opportunity, eliciting both appreciation and laughter. In particular, his performance during scenes where he portrays a cancer patient deserves special recognition. Yogi’s cinematography captures the mood of the thriller. He along with Sricharan Pakala’s and Harsha Vardhan Raj’s musical score enhances its atmospheric appeal. For those, who have not seen the Hollywood film, The Invisible Guest, the Hindi version, Badla, or the Telugu hit, Evaru, the Kannada version will be an engaging one-time watch." [18]
