Dhandoraa trailer review

Ahead of the film’s release, the makers revealed the trailer, and it looks dramatic and eventful. The trailer kicks off with a small boy carrying his grandmother’s dead body to the outskirts of the village for cremation because he is not allowed to perform the rites inside the village as he belongs to a lower caste. 

This sequence sums up the essence of the film and gives an idea that Dhandoraa deals with caste politics set in rural Telangana. Following this, various characters are introduced one after the other. 

Navdeep plays the Sarpanch, who is constantly under pressure to deliver for his village. Then, a couple is showcased who want to get married, but the girl is afraid to seek her father’s permission. Nandu’s family drama, on the other hand, is also riveting.

All these narratives ultimately center around the character of Shivaji, who belongs to the upper caste and is the man under discussion. His character is portrayed as someone obsessed with caste, and how all these stories are connected to him forms the basic storyline of the film.

Dhandoraa is based on true incidents that took place in a small village in Telangana, and director Murali has crafted an impressive story from them, narrating the film in a gripping manner. The presence of noted actors like Navdeep, Shivaji, and Nandu makes the film even more intriguing.

Dhandoraa's music creates an impact, becomes talking point

Mark K. Robin has composed the music, and the two songs released so far have caught the imagination of audiences. His powerful background score elevates the teaser to another level. More than the story itself, the dramatic moments in the trailer leave a strong impact.

Bindu Madhavi is seen in the role of a sex worker and has a significant part in the setup. With so many noted actors on board, Dhandoraa is sure to raise a few eyebrows with its gripping narration when the film hits the screens this Christmas Eve.
