Opportunities are hard to come by and keeping them is even more challenging, especially for new directors. The first film as a director is a crucial step in one's career and must be chosen carefully. While some directors have succeeded with their first attempt, others have failed. However, there are a few directors who have made their mark with their debut film, and Srikanth Odela, the director of Dasara is one of them.
Nani, a popular hero, starred in Srikanth Odela's debut film, and Nani took a huge risk because of the trust he had in the director, despite the budget constraints. Dasara, set in the Telangana backdrop, showcased Srikanth's talent as a director. The first film is always difficult, regardless of how well-written or perfectly planned the story is, but Srikanth managed it very well.
Some viewers who watched Dasara felt that the first half was good, but the second half could have been better. Srikanth may have lost his way at times, but ultimately, Nani's Dasara helped him stand near the box office. In a time when cult classics are not being made, and many makers are producing the same type of movies, Dasara is a fresh turn in the style of Rangasthalam and Pushpa.
Tamil director Vetrimaran Bala is regarded as one of the best in the industry, but Srikanth Odela has shown that Telugu cinema also has talented directors. Some viewers who watched Dussehra believe that the Telugu industry has found another gem in Srikanth Odela. The success of this film will undoubtedly boost Srikanth Odela's confidence and give him an opportunity to showcase his talent in Telugu cinema.
