Not A Nani Pan-India Debut That’s Important To Keep in Mind!
Will Dasara, Nani’s pan-Indian film debut, make an impact with its Hindi dubbing? This is a review of its box office!

EXAMINE SCREENPLAY

Being referred to as a “copy” of Pushpa has helped Nani’s Dasara. It assisted in bringing the movie, which had no buzz otherwise, at least some notice. The trailer, which was released with great fanfare, made it evident that this movie is not the same as Allu Arjun’s Pushpa. Following that, the group toured major Hindi-speaking cities to publicize their smash hit. Even the modest Nani captured the hearts of internet users with his viral social media videos.

All of these activities did raise some visibility for the movie, if not much. It’s inevitable that South mad fans will attempt it and upload it amid the flurry of South stuff; it’s all a word-of-mouth thing. Dasara left us with the idea that it was just another dubbed movie that might end up being successful in the end.

PLOT

In 2009, Dharani is a young brat who makes his living by stealing coal. He lives in Veerlapally with his grandmother, where the women of the village suffer from alcoholism. The most of his time is spent with his closest pals, Vennela and Siddham “Suri” Suryam. Since they were young, Dharani has loved Vennela. However, after learning that Suri and Vennela are in love, he decides to give up his love in order to bring the two of them together. However, because Suri stole coal, Vennela’s mother Ramanamma rejected their relationship.

Thurpugutta Shivanna’s son Chinna Nambi, the village’s candidate for sarpanch, says that Suri would become a cashier at the renowned “Silk” bar if Dharani wins a local cricket match and arranges the marriage. At the bar, Dharani and Suri battle with the supporters of Chinna Nambi, severely damaging the establishment. Consequently, Dharani and his associates are arrested by Chinna Nambi. Rajanna, Shivanna’s stepbrother, provides them with assistance and advises them not to worry about local politics. Rajanna finally gives in to Suri’s request for him to run for sarpanch, though.

After urging women to cast their first ballots, Rajanna wins the election. Rajanna appoints Dharani as the Deputy Sarpanch, and Suri’s marriage to Vennela is set in stone. When Suri finds out that Dharani loves Vennela and has made a sacrifice for her on the day of their marriage, he is devastated. A strange group attacks and chases all of them as Suri is heading to the pub to speak with Dharani and their friends. During the chase, some of Dharani’s and Suri’s pals are slain, while another suffers a stroke. In the ensuing chase, Suri escapes on a bicycle with Dharani hurt. Suri is beheaded while making his getaway, ruining Dharani and Vennela.

Dharani, filled with rage, dives into the case and discovers that Suri’s killer was none other than Chinna Nambi. Vadhinamma, Chinna Nambi’s wife, informs him that Suri was not killed because he contested against him, but rather because Chinna Nambi had passion for Vennela and had learned about their relationship. When Dharani finds out about this, she marries Vennela during the Suri burial rites on the eleventh day in an attempt to shield her from Chinna Nambi. Vennela first despises Dharani since he forced her into marriage, but she eventually comes to like him. When Chinna Nambi tells Vennela about his role in Suri’s demise and Dharani’s love for her on Dasara Day, it shocks Vennela because she didn’t know Dharani loved her.

Chinna Nambi’s hired gang, who had previously pursued and murdered Suri and Dharani’s pals, is ready to murder Dharani and his surviving companions at the Ravana Dahanam. Just as the cops are about to apprehend them, Dharani and his surviving gang of buddies succeed in killing every single one of them. The whole community is informed by Dharani about Chinna Nambi’s role in Suri’s demise. Dharani avenges Suri’s killing by decapitating Chinna Nambi in front of the entire village before being carried away. As a result, Dharani and his companions end up behind bars.

After serving their time, Dharani and his buddies return to the village seven years later. When Dharani discovers that women are still suffering as a result of alcohol’s impact, she at last comes to the conclusion that alcohol will ruin everyone’s life. When Dharani eventually gets back together with Vennela, he lights the bar on fire in front of the entire community.
