Dasara

Nani is amazing in what he does. He is a treat to watch and it would not be wrong to say that the superstar is the backbone of the film. He has a swag and it is unbeatable. But it is the climax of the film that will give you goosebumps and is worth watching. It is a complete package.

On the whole, Dasara is a gritty action drama that has Nani's outstanding performance. Barring a few laggy portions in the second half, the film is a perfect choice to enjoy the weekend.

Nani is the soul of Dasara. From expressing his vulnerabilities to crying his heart out and emoting in silence, he has given his career-best performance. While the film deals with a predictable story, it does have enough meat to hold onto its own.

Overall, Nani's Dasara is a heartfelt attempt from the makers, but falters due to poor narration. Can be watched for the authentic dialect, and raw and gritty performances from the lead.

On the whole, Dasara lives up to the hype created only to an extent. Nani's new avatar will surely wow the fans but the needed drama in the latter part is missing. If you ignore the slow pace and predictable storyline, Dasara has some gritty visuals and great performances that make the film worth a watch.

Debutant Srikanth Odela's Dasara is a mixed bag and there's no two ways about it. On one hand, the film is visually gripping, the characters seem like they've more to offer and the atmosphere feels like everything is about to come undone at any second. On the other hand, Srikanth sets up themes he never fully explores, or worse, wraps them up with hasty conclusions.
