Mounted like an amateurish school play, Dasvi is like a vast stretch of dullness, wearying and annoying by turn.

Abhishek Bachchan is a perfect match for the kind of character he is playing. It’s a pity that the material never quite knows whether it is an exaggerated parody or a sharp comedy with realistic overtones.

If you are completely unaware of India’s political climate or possess the ability to view the movie’s fictionalization of real-life politics in isolation, then there’s a good chance that you will enjoy it.

Cheerful and implausible, Dasvi presents a welcoming Indian prison system filled with guards and superintendents who are understanding, self-effacing, and fair rather than menacing and violent.

1.5/5

Is this a film about the circus of Indian politics or is it about the hold of illiteracy in the country? Dasvi doesn't really deliver on either count, crafting an overcooked story that jumps from one distraction to another.

3/5

Abhishek packs a punch and Nimrat is deliciously wicked, but Dasvi falls short of being the razor-sharp satire it deeply aspires to be.

I don't do movie reviews. I was telling my wife about this movie that I had watched a couple of years ago as a good watch and checked the reviews, shocked to find what the critics had to say. 8% really? I believe the movie deserves better rating. Yes it is outlandish, naive too.. but it has a warmth many movies today lack. The imdb rating is more realistic. Feel good movie, definitely watchable also because Abhishek has done a great job as have the others.
