Dacoit OTT Release Date OUT

Dacoit will drop on Amazon Prime Video in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam on May 8, according to OTT Trackers. The film will release in Hindi on the OTT giant a few days after it gains viewership in other languages. The confusion behind film's OTT release has been making buzz for quite some time now. Earlier, reports suggested that Netflix had acquired the digital rights, but the recent reports suggest Amazon Prime Video has clinched the digital rights, creating a debate among fans, as an official announcement is still awaited. Coming back to Dacoit, the story revolves around an intense emotional conflict, following an angry convict seeking revenge against his former girlfriend who betrayed him. Originally slated for release on March 19, the film was postponed to April 10 due to a crowded box office.

Despite its mixed critical reception, the film received appreciation from several celebrities. Nani also praised the film during a promotional interaction, stating that it felt more original and ambitious compared to some of Adivi Sesh’s earlier works, like Major and Goodachari.

More About Dacoit

Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit features a strong ensemble cast including Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla. The film has had a modest but steady box office run.

Earlier, in an exclusive conversation with Zoom, Adivi shed light on his career, journey and said, "I have always said I’m an effective actor and a good writer. The writing largely happened because I didn’t know anyone and I didn’t know how to audition, which is a special talent in itself, and something I believe… has nothing to do with actually performing in a film. I clearly realized that the writing has been in service of my career as an actor."
