Cast

Reception

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]
