There is no denying that Dasara, the directorial debut of Srikanth Odela, is a mix of everything. On the one hand, the picture is aesthetically captivating, the characters appear to have more to offer, and the atmosphere feels as if everything is poised to fall apart at any moment. Srikanth, on the other hand, establishes concepts that he never completely examines, or worse, wraps up with hurried conclusions.

Director Srikanth Odela collaborates with writers Jella Srinath, Arjuna Paturi, and Vamsi Krishna P to create a story that reflects casteism, friendship, heartbreak, politics, alcoholism, mythology, and other topics, making it separate from the crowd. The protagonists make far too many stupid decisions merely to set up the great finale, which features Nani’s Dharani beating the bad guys in front of a massive Ravana’s burning effigy.
In Dasara, Nani performed an overtly mass part for the first time in his filmography. For the first time, Nani challenges himself by agreeing to play Dharani in Dasara. For all these years, Nani has charmed audiences with boy-next-door characters. In the movie, he gives an outstanding performance. Nani takes great care and excels in the character of Dharani, taking great attention to his appearance, body language, and conversation. He had amazing performances in the intense sequences.

Keerthy Suresh, a national award-winning actress, has been given a substantial part. After Mahanati, this is the best movie she signed for in Tollywood, and her performance as Vennela is faultless. Her acting and speech both seem quite natural. Dheekshith Shetty gives a really natural performance, and the Telugu cinema industry will undoubtedly cast him in many more good roles following this one. Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko receives a solid role, which he justifies with his outstanding performance. Sai Kumar, Samuthirakani, Purnaa, and others play their parts well.
Dharani (Nani) and Suri (Dheekshith Shetty) were childhood friends who were involved in coal smuggling and fell in love with the same girl Vennela (Keerthy Suresh). With NTR Rao’s alcohol ban, a political struggle between two families starts, causing upheaval in the lives of ordinary people. Dharani and Suri alternate between the two families based on their respective interests, with the plot finally morphing into a revenge drama with hints of a pretentiously sad love story.
