Story and cast starring Mrunal Thakur
“Dacoit” revolves around a murder convict who escapes from prison with one mission: to take revenge on his ex-girlfriend. What follows is an unexpected series of events that blur the lines between right and wrong.ETimes’ exclusive review of the film says: “For a love story, Bheems Ceciroleo’s music is largely forgettable and fails to add any real emotional depth to the narrative.
Adivi Sesh, who is also said to have contributed to the writing, was sincere in his performance. However, the character itself is full of contradictions, weighed down by unnecessary stylization and theatrics that don’t really add value. Mrunal Thakur gives a powerful performance despite the limitations of her role.
Anurag Kashyap, as the spiritually twisted cop, seems more like an unintentionally funny caricature than someone who adds real impact.
Prakash Raj also doesn’t have much to offer. The film has many twists and turns, some of which, including the climax, are truly shocking. On paper, these moments have real impact, but they would have needed tighter writing to really hit the ground running. “There is a clear attempt to capitalize on the current wave of stylized, blockbuster, male-driven action cinema dominating the space.”Directed by debutant Chanel Deo, the film stars Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, Prakash Raj, and Anurag Kashyap in the lead roles.Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
