Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit is performing well at the box office, but the movie did receive criticism for a few aspects. Especially, some felt the protagonist pulled off multiple heists without facing major challenges. In an interview, Sesh responded to the criticism, citing the lack of security in hospitals during the COVID period.
“I tried to make it realistic to the time of COVID. I’m always willing to take criticism. Even I say in the film that a robbery happened very easily. I am capable of writing a complex episode for the heist. Had I gone for the mind-game aspect, there would have been tonal confusion since Dacoit is a love story. We always wanted to make it as an emotion-backed love story,” said Sesh.
The actor added, “We tried preparing the audience that it’s not a mind-game film. In some ways, to a certain degree, I am a victim of my image. But I am grateful I have an image.”
