Starring the intensely powerful Adivi Sesh opposite the ever-versatile Mrunal Thakur, Dacoit weaves a tale of betrayal, survival, and raw vengeance. The story tracks a former convict navigating a treacherous world of crime and moral conflict.
Moving between the timelines of 2008 and 2021, the film unravels the tender yet tragic love story of Hari and Saraswathi through quick, emotional flashes before revealing how Hari ended up behind bars. With a supporting cast including Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj, the film packs a punch.
Shaneil Deo’s directorial debut, ‘Dacoit,’ starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, depicts a tale of vengeance and a tragic love story set between 2008 and 2021. After grossing ₹52.60 Cr theatrically from its April 10, 2026 release, the film premieres on Amazon Prime Video in May.
Though its theatrical grosses have wound down-with a total worldwide collection of ₹52.60 Cr-the film’s true test may yet come on streaming. For those who missed the chaos on 10,000 screens, or simply wish to revisit the mayhem, the wait might be over. This May, prepare for a dacoit’s return.
Fans of high-octane romance and gritty revenge can finally mark their calendars. Dacoit: A Love Story, the action-packed directorial debut of Shaneil Deo, is poised for its digital premiere. After a theatrical run that began on 10 April 2026, the film’s business has naturally slowed, and all eyes are now on its OTT arrival.
The digital rights have been snapped up by Amazon Prime Video. Following the standard four-week window for a major Telugu release, audiences can expect the film to storm the platform in the second week of May.
While critics offered mixed reviews on the big screen, the film’s compelling cast and gripping narrative promise a fresh lease of life in the living room.
