Top Reviewers:
TELUGU360 (Rating: 2.75/5):
Dacoit is a strong film when it comes to technical aspects. The Editing pattern is completely new and it saves the film to an extent. The background score is an asset for Dacoit. Kannepettaro remix is used well. The production values by Annapurna Studios are quite impressive. The team picked up the right actors for the prominent roles in Dacoit. On the whole, Dacoit is a love story with a crime backdrop that is narrated with an emotional touch and it makes a decent one time watch.
GREAT ANDHRA (Rating: 2.5/5):
Dacoit features strong performances from Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, impressive technical work, and an emotionally satisfying climax. While the stretched screenplay and predictable moments hold it back from greatness, the film still emerges as a decent one-time watch.
TELUGUCINEMA.COM (Rating: 3/5):
Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha deserves to be watched on the big screen, for the newness of fusing a love story with a revenge drama. But you’ll have to pay full attention to the movie. The movie does have a repeat value, as you’ll understand the twists and revelations better the second time.
123TELUGU.COM (Rating: 3.25/5):
On the whole, Dacoit is a compelling romantic action drama that has a fair share of good moments. Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur shoulder the film with their impressive performances. The story isn’t fresh, but the screenplay hooks us for the most part, and the twists work in the film’s favour. There are certain slow moments here and there, and dubbing issues at times reduce the overall impact. If you are looking for an intense action drama, Dacoit will work for you.
TIMES OF INDIA (Rating: 3/5):
By the end, Dacoit leaves you with a love story told in a grand and commercial way, supported by strong storytelling and excellent technical quality. Adivi Sesh has built his career on choosing stories with something to say, and Dacoit fits that pattern. 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. It is the kind of film that stays with you a little longer than you expected it to.
