Yamadonga (transl. Big thief or transl. Thief of Yama) is a 2007 Indian Telugu-language fantasy action comedy film[2] directed by S.S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the film with V. Vijayendra Prasad. It stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Mohan Babu, Priyamani, and Mamta Mohandas, while Ali and Brahmanandam play supporting roles. It was produced by Cherry and Gangaraju Gunnam and presented by Rama Rajamouli, under Visvamitra Creations.[3]
Inspired by the 1977 film Yamagola, the plot follows Raja, a thief who is killed by his rivals. Raja's soul travels to Naraka (hell) to face the trail for his sins by Yama, the Hindu god of death and justice. The film began its production in January 2007 and was made on a budget of ₹16–18 crore (US$4.3–4.8 million).[a] Filming primarily took place in Hyderabad and Ramoji Film City. The film has music composed by M. M. Keeravani and cinematography by K. K. Senthil Kumar.
Yamadonga was released worldwide on 15 August 2007. Upon release, it received positive reviews from critics and was declared a blockbuster, collecting an estimated ₹29.5 crore (US$7.13 million) as distributors' share.[5] This film is also the highest grossing Telugu film of the year of 2007. The film won four Nandi Awards while Jr. N.T.R. went on to win the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu. A year later after its success, it was dubbed in Hindi as Lok Parlok. It was also dubbed in Tamil as Vijayan (2016) and in the Awadhi as Chor Raja and in Kannada as Yama Raj.
