Dacoit
Dacoit is an average romantic thriller. It has a few good moments here and there, but overall it feels messy and doesn’t leave a strong impact. After films like Kshanam, Goodachari, Major, Adivi Sesh has built a reputation for making tight and engaging films. However, with this one, it feels like he has lost that touch—if not as an actor, then at least as a writer. The screenplay doesn’t feel as sharp, or well-structured as his earlier work. The film follows a style similar to Sesh’s previous movies, with quick cuts between scenes, timelines, and flashbacks. In the beginning, this creates a good and engaging vibe, but as the film progresses, it starts to feel repetitive and tiring. Because of this, the movie feels longer than it actually is and loses the fast-paced feel it should have had. Also, editing at so many places feels blunt and not properly done. Mrunal Thakur once again proves she is a strong performer and does justice to her role. Adivi Sesh is decent in his part as well. Ac
