Yatra is not just a film and more than cinema, it is politically motivated, many expressed their view before the film’s release. However, director Mahi V Raghav condemned the rumours.

But the film turned as political interest for YSRCP just before the cinema release only. This showed the real colour behind it. All theatres filled with YSRCP supporters in Telugu states, and in overseas as well. In Rayalaseema and coastal districts, YSR Congress Party leaders bought tickets of the film and distributed them to their party cadre. Particularly in some areas ordinary people, who are not linked to politics also got Yatra movie tickets from YSRCP cadre.

As it is a pre-election moment, it is common for any political party to do this type of publicity stunts, a cine analyst's opinion. For NTR Biopic also TDP is doing same, he asserted. Let us see, how YSRCP can manage to fill the theatres of Yatra film with their supporters this weekend.
