1.5/5

This Telugu-Hindi thriller,...proves a few things: plots trying to be new shouldn’t feel familiar, it’s never a good idea to waste Prakash Raj, and that Anurag Kashyap needs to act a lot more, as he literally saves this film from sinking.

A potentially compelling story about an unlikely duo of robbers and a revenge scheme for wrongful imprisonment turns into increasingly preposterous action scenes that nearly ruin the movie. A sentimental conclusion cannot redeem this garbage.

2/5

For an intense love story, Dacoit lacks a solid, emotional build-up and convincing chemistry between its lead pair right from the start. This makes it difficult for the audience to invest in their journey.

3.5/5

If you are willing to sit with a film that earns its emotional punches slowly rather than announcing them early, and has the ability to take you by surprise, Dacoit will give you what you came for.

Despite the implausibility of certain scenes where anything literally goes, Dacoit keeps you hooked for the most part.

The Covid pandemic is written into the 155-minute film, resulting in facial coverings, but that hardly excuses Hari’s ease of movement. Little else does too.

Acting was good, there were a lot of really good actors in the movie. The action gets surprisingly extra gorey and violent in the last half hour of the movie. There are many moments where I was laughing at the ridiculousness of the scene but could see where the director was going with it. Overall, it has twists and turns that are not entirely unexpected but still twisty - this something I'd watch online after it comes out on streaming when I'm bored.

Covid time moive released now. Adivi shesh loved girl in the real life got married to someone looks like, all his stories heroines love him and the stories always follow to show how strong he loves her even after marriage. I think he tries to always prove her married gf to come back and be with him or he is trying to sacrifice his life for her, on the other hand his ex gf must be enjoying with her husband and family.

I did connect with a few emotional moments, and there were scenes where the film genuinely worked for me. But overall, I found it pretty average. The story didn't keep me invested consistently, and most of it didn't leave much of an impression. Not a bad watch, just not something I'd feel the need to revisit. For me, it's a one-time watch.
