Story

Hari alias Hari Das (Adivi Sesh) and Saraswati alias Juliet (Mrunal Thakur) are deeply in love with each other, valuing their relationship more than their own lives. However, due to Juliet’s betrayal, Hari is sentenced to 13 years in prison. Determined to take revenge for the deception, Hari escapes from jail and sets out to confront her.

Meanwhile, Juliet is caught in a complicated situation involving her husband and daughter. In an attempt to overcome his struggles, Hari plans a robbery at Karuna Hospital, owned by Prakash Raj, and cleverly designs the plan in such a way that Juliet gets entangled in it.

Why did Juliet betray Hari despite loving him so deeply? How did she sacrifice him in a case related to the injustice faced by her friend (Kamakshi Bhaskarla)? What mental trauma did Hari endure during his time in prison? What illegal activities were taking place at Karuna Hospital? How does Juliet react after Hari returns from prison, and what difficult situation does she face? Instead of taking revenge, what sacrifice does Hari ultimately choose? The answers to these questions form the core story of Dacoit.
