What happens

Yamaleela 2 is a 2014 Indian Telugu-language fantasy drama film written, directed, and composed by S. V. Krishna Reddy. A spiritual sequel to the 1994 film Yamaleela, it features K. V. Satish, Diah Nicholas, Mohan Babu and Brahmanandam in key roles. Mohan Babu portrays Yama, a role previously played by Kaikala Satyanarayana, while Brahmanandam reprises his role as Chitragupta from the original. The story follows a medical professional, Krish, on a quest to save his leukemia-stricken niece using a mythical herb, while evading Yama and Chitragupta, who seek to reclaim a sacred book in his possession. Produced on a significant budget of ₹18 crore, the film marked the return of S. V. Krishna Reddy to Telugu cinema after a five-year hiatus and featured a larger production scale than its predecessor. The film received lukewarm reviews, but Mohan Babu's performance was praised. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
