OVERALL GOOD WATCH."

Another X user wrote, "#Dacoit- It's a failed heist, but I stil feel robbed. Predictable 1st half followed by a disappointing 2nd half. The real interval bang comes 10 min after the interval. This is the first bad film from #AdiviSesh since DONGAATA (2015). His films are known for great plot twists. This film's plot twists are absolute let downs - AVI TWISTS KADHU 90 MM RODS. Ordinary story. Tiring screenplay with soulless characters & lazy dialogues. Nothing worked for me except BGM.#MrunalThakur felt too sweet for this role. #ShrutiHaasan would've been badass. #DacoitReview #DacoitMovieReview"

"#Dacoit Technically strong but weak in screenplay. Some scenes work, but feels like Kshanam / Goodachari at times. Adivi Sesh is good, Mrunal is decent. Climax twist is over the top. Overall: Average one-time watch", wrote the third user.

Another social media user wrote, "There are a few inconsistencies in the pacing and all the action set pieces looked a bit monotonous but the initial hour and the emotional track almost makes up for those ! This is how you should present a love story with a lot of action in it ! #Dacoit."

Dacoit: Review, plot and more

As per WION's Nikita Toppo, “Dacoit brings together romance, revenge, and social themes, but the execution doesn’t always match its ambition.” The film works in parts, especially the emotional moments and well-placed twists, but does not feel consistent due to an overcrowded screenplay. Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, and Anurag Basu are good, and the film still manages to keep you invested in stretches but doesn't offer anything drastically new. If you enjoy action dramas with a mix of romance

and layered storytelling, it is a decent one-time watch, but do not expect anything extraordinary."
