Yaman (2017) “Yaman” starts out thirty years back in a village where the idealistic Devarkonda Gandhi (Vijay Antony) is in running for the MLA seat. Panduranga, his friend & political opponent, gets him killed and gets elected from the same constituency while Gandhi’s widow commits suicide leaving behind their baby son. The movie then moves to the present in Hyderabad where the son grows up as Ashok Chakravarthy (Vijay Antony again). An urgent need for a huge sum of money required for his grandfather forces him to go to jail on behalf of someone else.The story kicks off at this point when he is caught up in the conflict between two rival gangs. At this point, Karunakar (Thiagarajan) steps in as his mentor and helps Vijay overcome his troubles and start his own business. Soon enough, Vijay and Panduranga, who is a powerful minister, ends up in the same political circle.   In parallel, love blossoms between the movie star Ahalya (Mia George) and Ashok over a series of coincidences. The film builds up to a point where Ashok with his political ambitions comes into a direct confrontation with his mentor and also Panduranga. Will Ashok also succeed in avenging the death of his father? Will Karunakar tolerate the growing ambitions of Ashok? The rest of Yaman is about how Ashok goes about fulfilling his ambition..

Bottom line is, ‘Yaman’ is a clean product in an odd political thriller genre. Despite a strong content and formidable artistic excellence, extremely time eating and slow unfurling of story test the audience patience. Commercial verdict aside,.
