After a decent run in theatres, Dacoit: A Love Story has officially arrived on OTT today. The Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages. However, the Hindi version is currently unavailable on the platform.
Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit: A Love Story created good buzz before its release mainly because of its unusual mix of romance, action, and revenge drama. The film also marked an interesting collaboration between Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, which became one of the biggest highlights during the promotions.
Story and Cast
The story revolves around Hari, played by Adivi Sesh, who returns after spending years in prison and seeks revenge against his former lover Saraswati, played by Mrunal Thakur. As the story progresses, the film transforms into a blend of emotional drama, action, and high-stakes crime elements.
One of the major talking points surrounding the film was Adivi Sesh himself. Over the years, he has built a strong reputation for selecting intense thrillers and content-driven films like Goodachari, Major, and HIT: The Second Case. With Dacoit: A Love Story, he once again attempted to bring a different emotional layer along with action and suspense. Mrunal Thakur’s presence also added freshness to the project, especially after gaining popularity among Telugu audiences through her previous films.
The movie also features Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, and Zayn Marie Khan in important roles. The music for the film was composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, while the visuals and Rayalaseema backdrop became another major attraction during its theatrical release.
OTT Buzz
During its theatrical release, Dacoit: A Love Story received mixed to decent responses from audiences, but many viewers appreciated the performances, emotional moments, and action sequences. The film also registered one of the biggest openings in Adivi Sesh’s career.
Now, with its OTT release on Amazon Prime Video, the film is expected to reach a much wider audience over the weekend. Since action dramas and romantic thrillers usually perform well on OTT platforms, many viewers who missed the movie in theatres are already planning to stream it online.
