Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 3h
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. Go to Full Review
Ronak Kotecha The Times of India 1d
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. Go to Full Review
Yashaswini Sri The Indian Express 1d
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. Go to Full Review
Vinamra Mathur Firstpost 2d
3.5/5
Despite the implausibility of certain scenes where anything literally goes, Dacoit keeps you hooked for the most part. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 2d
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. Go to Full Review

2/5
Dacoit’s biggest flaw is how relentlessly generic its storytelling feels. Go to Full Review

Harshit A 2d 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.

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. See more Dinesh 5d Bad story line and execution, okok first half See more Harish N @harish_napa 2d Dacoit successfully blends a gritty revenge saga with a deeply emotional "old school" romance, making it stand out in a year full of action releases. Adivi Sesh is terrific as Hari, a man whose life is shattered by a betrayal that leads him to a prison cell. He brings a raw, brooding intensity to the role, especially in the quieter moments where he navigates the pain of his past. Mrunal Thakur is equally brilliant as Juliet, delivering a nuanced performance that serves as the emotional heart of the story. Her ability to portray a character caught between impossible choices gives the film a depth that keeps you invested until the very end. While the second half is packed with sharp action and shocking twists, the film never loses sight of the human connection at its core. It is a bold, high quality drama that earns its emotional punches and leaves a lasting impact. See more sa 2d I didn’t like this movie See more Read all reviews
