==Plot==
Because of a mistake by Lord Brahma, Naresh is born a month early without the mandatory ‘Thalaratha’. Due to this, Naresh does not have the normal human attributes like death or disease, which are inherently unknown to him. He is also addicted to mythological dramas and takes part in them actively. During one such Swayamvaram drama, Lord Yama's daughter Yamaja is deliberately brought to the proceedings by Narada Maharshi. Yamaja marries Naresh in that play and takes him for her husband in real life too. She keeps hounding him and slowly, Naresh reciprocates her feelings. Lord Yama learns of this and sends his son Yamaganda and Chitra Gupta to bring her back.

As they fail in their mission, Lord Yama himself travels to Earth and takes her back. But Naresh catches the tail of the Bull of Yama and ended up in [[Trishanku|Trishanku's Heaven]] after accidentally letting go and with the blessings of a Disguised Narada, he reaches Yamalokam. There he befriends Aiyo, the wife of Yama and gains her support by telling his story. Later again through Narada, he learns that Yamaja has been captured in the [[Gada (weapon)|Gada]] of Yama. He however manages to enter by disguising himself as a woman and reconciles with Yamaja. Even after being expelled by Yama from his Gada, Naresh continues to gain the support of Yamaja and Aiyo.

Frustrated, Yama tries to eliminate him but fails as Naresh had no 'Thalaratha', a script by Lord Brahma regarding Naresh's Birth, Life, and Death. This also comes to the knowledge of Naresh and he enters as Yama Jr. Meanwhile, Yama realises that though he can't kill Naresh, eventually his family will be killed as they possess 'Thalaratha'. Thus to save his family, Naresh begs Yama to take his life after 3 days as he may try to save his family. He leaves his powers and Yamaja and returns home sadly. In Yamalokam, he foresees his father's and brother's death. His Father dies in accident by hitting a Bus with his Scooter while his brother is killed by Royyala Naidu, a Don as his brother was responsible for his imprisonment.

First he lets his father travel by bus and follows it on his scooter, and saves his father as his father attempts suicide. He learns that his brother, a bank manager, owes {{INR}} 25 Lakhs to the bank after being falsely accused of taking money from it, the false evidences made by Royyala Naidu. Naresh participates in a stage play for which he is paid a remuneration of {{INR}} 25 Lakhs. He clears his brother's financial debt. But Royyala Naidu enters the scene and tries to stab Naresh's brother. Naresh remembers that the shirt worn by his brother is same as he saw in his premonition. After a fight he changes the shirt, wears it and gets stabbed. Before Yama can snatch his soul, Naresh stabs Royyala Naidu fatally and enters Yamalokam as a spirit now. After Aiyo's protest and upon Yamaja and Yamaganda's request, Yama restores Naresh's body and Naresh is married to Yamaja.

== Reception ==
Ch Sushil Rao of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two out of five stars and wrote, "Well, the story goes on. The dialogues which rhyme are impressive. Nothing else. Not even Allari Naresh. He might have the ease to pull off his role but the storyline which appears a bit clumsy leaves you scratching your head."<ref>{{cite news |title=Yamudiki Mogudu Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/yamudiki-mogudu/movie-review/17783153.cms |work=The Times of India |date=27 December 2012 |archive-date=5 July 2022 |access-date=27 December 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705170313/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/yamudiki-mogudu/movie-review/17783153.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> A critic from ''[[NDTV]]'' wrote, "Director Satti Babu loses his grip in the second half. The screenplay in the second half is mediocre. Watch the film for the first half and go home. The entire second half is boring but for a few scenes."<ref>{{cite news |title=Movie review: Yamudiki Mogudu |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/movie-review-yamudiki-mogudu-609796 |work=www.ndtv.com |date=28 December 2012 |language=en}}</ref>

Sunita Chowdhary of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "Naresh is not at his best but is okay, he enjoys his repartees. He clearly fails in bringing out melancholy in the finale. Krishna Bhagwan’s dialogues and some by Naresh are down right disgusting. A better second half could have made the film an average watch.
