Here are some film pitches:
A coward who hides behind his macho best friend has to come of age when his best friend is unfairly murdered. Will this coward learn to be courageous?
A young boy finds out that his best friend and the girl of the boy’s dreams are in love. Will he get them together? Will he sacrifice his love? What happens when they all find out about each other’s love?
A bar in a remote village in Telangana becomes a site of contention between a Sarpanch and two young men belonging to an oppressed caste. Will the addiction to alcohol consume them as they chase the high given by power?
Ten friends must form a motley crew of assassins to avenge the deaths of those who were unfairly killed by the powerful men in a village. This is juxtaposed against the metaphor for Dasara in which a man with ten heads was killed by one man.
Each one of these ideas can become an outstanding film by itself but writer-director Srikanth Odela’s Dasara packs all these ideas into one film and therefore what we get is an exciting world of Veerlapalli that we know thoroughly.
