6/10Dasara, directed and written by Srikanth Odela, features a blazing performance by Nani, but the story fails to ignite the same fire. While the film creates a scorching ambience with its visuals, it struggles to find emotional depth. Nani's portrayal of Dharani, an alcoholic torn between love and friendship, is captivating, but the larger themes of power, caste, and politics lack substance. The narrative feels disjointed, with politics and elections serving as mere plot devices. Dasara also mishandles its portrayal of women, reducing them to casualties without proper development. The film's world seems detached from reality, lacking a coherent societal framework. Despite some intriguing elements, Dasara falls short due to its unsteady handling of themes and lack of conviction.
8/10This film redefined the meaning of mass commercial films in Telugu.
Nani, Keerthy Suresh & Shine Tom Chacko are outstanding in their roles.
Though the initial half of films story reminds us of multiple film, only the later half revels the real plot of the film.
Cinematography was dam good that even in very dark scenes, audience never misses the emotion of that scene.
Songs and BGM good enough to evaluate the scenes, however some of the songs are kind of blockers to the story flow.
The editing of the film is one of it's key savior. Though there are multiple abrupt edits that really makes those scenes soo crisp.
The direction of film is fantastic, the way how he brief the premise and narrate the emotions till end is brilliant, however, his wiring has lot of scope to be better.
The action choreography the end is truly 🔥🔥🔥
