Yamagola (transl. Havoc in Hell or transl. The Great Havoc) is a 1977 Indian Telugu-language fantasy comedy film directed by T. Rama Rao who co-wrote the film with D. V. Narasa Raju. It stars N. T. Rama Rao and Jaya Prada, with music composed by Chakravarthy. The film was produced by S. Venkataratnam who also worked as the cinematographer.
Yamagola released on 21 October 1977 and received positive reviews. The dialogues penned by D. V. Narasaraju were perceived as a satire on contemporary politics, especially the Emergency and are considered as one of the highlights of the film along with the performances of the cast and the music.[1][2][3] It was remade in Hindi as Lok Parlok (1979)[4] and in Tamil as Yamanukku Yaman (1980),[5] while also inspiring the 2007 Telugu film Yamadonga.[6]
