Dacoit turns on a double wound: a man convicted for a crime he did not commit, and the intimate betrayal that put him there. Once free, he hunts down the woman who wronged him, their collision entangled with a chain of robberies. The film sits at the crossroads of romantic disillusionment and action-driven reckoning — signalling a taste for stories where loyalty is weaponised, the personal and criminal collide, and a protagonist's sense of justice is inseparable from grief.
Dacoit: A Love Story is a 2026 Indian romantic action drama film directed by Shaneil Deo in his directorial debut, who co-wrote the film with Adivi Sesh. Produced by Supriya Yarlagadda under Annapurna Studios, the film was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi.

The Count of Monte-Cristo: Great Revenge follows a man imprisoned for 15 years who engineers an elaborate comeback — the wrongful-conviction revenge arc maps almost perfectly onto Dacoit's emotional core.
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall puts you in the role of a legendary assassin reckoning with the consequences of his actions, offering that same morally complex vendetta drive found throughout Dacoit.
