Telugu movie Dahanam bagged Six international film festival awards

Dahanam movie is all set to hit the silver screen soon in the mid of Feb 2023, This movie already bagged six international film festival awards . Dahanam is based out of real incidents and now aiming to release in 200+ theatres in two Telugu states followed by OTT launch in amazon prime.

The film is filled with a lot of realistic scenes which look quite hard-hitting on screen. There are no forced emotions in the film and that is the biggest asset. The screenplay is the biggest plus as none of the scenes lack logic or are there just for the sake of it.

Om Aditya is the surprise package of the film as he is quite good as the main Role. He has changed his body language a lot and will be a good character actor if given more chances. and the best work is the music and BGM that lift the film to a whole new level.

The protagonist, Bairagi a drunkard and an untouchable undertaker looking after the burial ground role played by FM BABAI -Trinadh Rao added more flavor to the overall movie, he is good in his hard-hitting role and makes full use of the opportunities. The actor who played as president is also superb in the film. The combination of scenes between the priest and Bairagi is very good. The first half of the film is bit slow as director has stuck to the theme.

As said earlier, the music and BGM by Dr Satish Kumar is top-notch. The production values of the film are superb as the film looks rich for the money spent. The art direction and camera work need special mention as the locations and the gritty areas have been showcased superbly. But the dialogues need a special mention as they are novel, realistic and some are even quite depthful. Editing in the second half could have been better.

Coming to the director, he makes a decent debut and is surely a find. His eye for detail is superb and the way he has extracted performances is also top-notch. The message he has conveyed through the film and the manner in which he narrated the film with a good screenplay makes the film look interesting.

On the whole, Dahanam is a realistic village drama that showcases the atrocities of the rich towards the backward castes in the early years. Realistic performances, good screenplay, and superb dialogues are basic assets. On the flip side, a predictable storyline, a bit slow narration half takes the film down. The film is a for the select audience but needs to be encouraged as it is rustic, hard hitting and can be given a shot on for it’s unique setup.
