Dacoit Review

News18 Showsha gave Dacoit a 2-star rating. “Dacoit: A Love Story had everything going for it… a powerful premise, a strong cast, and a promising start. But weak writing, a confusing screenplay, and inconsistent

direction pull it down,” a part of our review read.

“Watch it for Mrunal Thakur as she truly shines and carries the film on her shoulders. Adivi Sesh’s intensity and Anurag Kashyap’s presence also add value. But beyond that, this ends up being a film that had a lot to say, but didn’t quite know how to say it. In all, Dacoit has a strong start and brilliant performances, but ultimately it is a messy, frustrating watch,” it added.
