The film 'Dacoit: A Love Story,' starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, is set to make its digital debut after a modest theatrical run. Released in cinemas on April 10, the movie performed averagely at the box office, receiving mixed reviews from critics. While it managed decent collections in major urban centers like Hyderabad and Bangalore, as well as internationally, it struggled in smaller towns (B and C centers) due to stiff competition from other releases.
OTT Release Date Confirmed
According to reports from Deccan Chronicle, the film is expected to premiere on OTT platforms on May 8. It will be available in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. However, the makers have not yet made an official announcement, leaving fans eagerly awaiting confirmation.
Confusion Over OTT Partner
There is ongoing speculation regarding which streaming service has acquired the digital rights. Earlier rumors suggested Amazon Prime Video, but recent reports indicate that Netflix might have clinched the deal. This has sparked debate among fans. An official announcement is anticipated soon, given the fast-approaching release date.
Why 'Dacoit' Is Generating OTT Buzz
Directed by Shaneil Deo, 'Dacoit' follows the story of an innocent man who is falsely imprisoned and escapes to seek revenge. The film is packed with high-octane action, suspense, and a major heist. Its strong cast, including Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, and others, adds to the anticipation for its OTT release. The gripping storyline and stellar performances are expected to attract a wide audience on streaming platforms.
