Dakshina Movie Review: Sai Dhansika is the pioneer in playing the lead role in Tamil. The film in which she played the lead role is 'Dakshina'. This film, made in the crime action drama genre, was released on October 4th last year. The latest release of this film is the 'Lions Gate Play' OTT platform. Let's see how far this action thriller has connected with the audience.
Dakshina Movie Story:
In Visakhapatnam, beautiful girls are being kidnapped one after another. After that, they are brutally murdered. The murderer separates the head from the torso and takes it away. He enjoys watching the news related to it on TV. The lady police officer works with her team to catch the murderer with the evidence.
But wherever she goes, they keep saying the evidence has already been given to another police officer. She understands that the one who is collecting evidence before them is 'Dakshina', who once worked as a police officer in Hyderabad. She does not understand why Dakshina, who had resigned at that time, is now showing interest in this case. She decides to find out that first.
Why did Dakshina, who once worked as a police officer in Hyderabad, come to Vizag now? Why is she focusing on the murders happening here, having already resigned a long time ago? What is the connection between the serial murders in Hyderabad and the serial murders happening in Visakhapatnam? That is the rest of the story.
Dakshina Movie Analysis:
Usually, all the stories related to psycho killers are the same. The killer keeps on committing his mark murder. The police are confused because they do not find a 'clue'. The psycho targets the police officer who is trying to catch him. What will happen as a result? Suspense that keeps the audience on their toes. This film also follows the same format.
The entire story revolves around the character of Sai Dhansika. She is impressive with a good height.. appropriate fitness for that and a personality befitting a police officer. While it is a good thing that the director has done for this role, it must be said that not showing her in a police officer uniform for a while is a mistake. She roams the roads holding a cigarette in one hand.. and a beer bottle in the other.
A police officer in a large cadre in the south. Her bungalow is in a range. However, it seems like a movie in which a psycho comes to her bedroom while playing and singing. Can police officers who deal with dangerous cases be so careless? It is not surprising. And looking at the way her character behaves in some cases, we cannot help but wonder who is the psycho out of the two?
Performance:
Many films have come with a similar story before. Therefore, there is no need to look for something new. There are no unexpected twists. The kidnapping of girls by a psycho can be shown as interesting. But it is troublesome to show it very simply and show the murders as brutal.
Ramakrishna Senapati's photography .. DSR background music .. Vinay's editing is not bad. Some brutal murders .. bloodshed .. This film is an attempt by a police officer to catch the psycho who caused it. Due to the lack of a story linked to emotions, only the murders are remembered. If you think you can tolerate seeing the brutal scenes related to serial murders, you can try.
