Our Review
Dashavatar is an engaging Marathi suspense thriller that mixes old folklore with today’s problems. The story follows an elderly Dashavatar artist whose last performance unexpectedly reveals dangers like illegal mining in a Konkan village.
Dilip Prabhavalkar stands out in the lead role, perfectly balancing vulnerability and strength. He is well supported by Mahesh Manjrekar, Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Menon, and Priyadarshini Indalkar.
Directed by Subodh Khanolkar, the film is visually beautiful with its Konkan setting and delivers a strong eco friendly message. The storytelling keeps you hooked, though the first half feels a bit slow.
Viewers have praised the movie for its cultural touch and emotional connect, making it a good choice for family audiences. Word of mouth has worked strongly on social media, with theatre occupancy touching 68% on Sunday and staying steady at 12–20% on Monday across Maharashtra.
What Worked
- Dilip Prabhavalkar’s powerhouse lead guy’s a legend, bringing depth to the folk performer role.
- Supernatural murder mystery in Konkan setting trailer builds that eerie, cultural vibe perfectly.
- Strong ensemble like Mahesh Manjrekar elevates the thriller with real star energy.
What Didn’t Work
- Trailer might tease too much suspense hope the full plot has fresh surprises.
- Mid-budget limits big VFX relying on story and locations to carry the thrill.
- Busy September clash needs killer word of mouth to pack halls.
