Dharmaprabhu

The God of death, the senior Yama (Radha Ravi), retires so that his son (Yogi Babu) has become the immediate successor. Yamaloga’s Chitragupta (Ramesh Thilak) is enraged with the decision of Yama. He cunningly plans to dethrone Yama Jr. who has just become the king of their world. Chitragupta’s plan works when Yama Jr. visits the earth and saves the life of an innocent child along with a deadly politician (Azhagam Perumal). Now, Lord Shiva (Rajendran) orders Yama Jr. to kill the politician in a week and rectify all the mistakes. Can the fun-loving Yama rectify his mistakes?

This film shooting was held in a fictional place due to the cast and the story. Yaman stays in place called Yamaloka, so the art works were done mostly in a fictional way.[5] The first look poster of Dharmaprabhu was released on 2 November, where Yogi Babu stands as Yaman with the weapon Gada. The film shooting was a short time of period and the movie features was released soon. The film was shot in Chennai and the songs were composed abroad. One of the first look poster reminds one of Thambi Ramiah’s directorial film Indiralohathil Na Azhagappan.[6]

Soundtrack was composed by Justin Prabhakaran.[7][8]

Times of India wrote "The plot had enough scope for making it a wholesome entertainer, but one needs to watch the movie to know how it has been badly wasted."[9] Cinema Express wrote "Dharma Prabhu quite needlessly takes on the mantle of messaging. It appears even narakalokam isn’t immune to the rampant disease of posturing."[10] Sify wrote "Apart from Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikecei, none of the Tamil fantasy comedies have clicked in Tamil mainly because of shoddy writing and execution. Leading comedy actor Yogi Babu’s Dharmaprabhu in which he plays the lead title role is another addition to the genre, which disappoints."[11]
