In Yashoda, Samantha plays a surrogate mother who risks her life to save young pregnant women from a surrogacy scam. The film, directed by Hari-Harish, has also been dubbed and released in Tamil.

Trade analyst Trinath confirmed that the film has grossed ₹22 crore worldwide. “Yashoda has really clicked at the box office. The film’s core theme about surrogacy and Samantha taking up a role that has good scope for action has really worked wonders with the audiences. After four days of run, the film has collected ₹22 crore at the box office. In the US, the film is having a remarkable run and has collected better than most big-budget Telugu films from this year,” Trinath said.

Trinath went on to add that this is Samantha’s third female-centric film that has clicked in a row after U-Turn and Oh Baby. Yashoda also stars Unni Mukundan, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar and Murali Sharma in key roles.

A clip from her promotional interview surfaced on social media in which she turned emotional. Samantha had said, “As I said in my post (Instagram), some days are good, some are bad. Some days, I’ve felt even taking one more step would be difficult. But when I look back, I wonder I’ve gone through so much and have come this far. I’m here to fight.”
