The
social
comedy
drama
Dasvi
premiered
last
week
on
the
OTT
platform
and
opened
to
ample
praise
from
viewers
and
critics
alike
apart
from
the
flurry
of
enthusiastic
feedback
on
the
film's
performances.
After
the
rave
reviews
that
came
her
way
for
A
Thursday,
it
was
for
the
very
first
time
in
her
career
that
Yami
Gautam
essayed
the
role
of
a
police
officer
and
walked
away
yet
again
with
praise
for
her
nuanced
performance.
In
fact
director
Tushar
Jalota
even
went
on
record
to
state
how
Yami
Gautam
was
his
first
and
only
choice
for
this
role.
Says
director
Tushar
Jalota,
"Jyoti
is
a
head
strong,
brave,
no-nonsense
and
a
fearless
woman.
She
is
razor-focused
and
is
cuttingly
sharp.
She
has
steely
authority,
is
fierce
and
is
simply
savage!!
And
Yami
played
it
to
the
T.
When
we
were
casting
for
this
role
in
Dasvi,
I
couldn't
imagine
anyone
else
other
than
Yami
Gautam
playing
Jyoti
Deswal.
She
is
someone
who
completely
gets
absorbed
by
her
character
and
thoroughly
prepares
for
it;
whether
it's
looking
the
part
or
mentally
getting
into
the
headspace
of
the
character."
He
further
added,
"Apart
from
all
the
prep
work,
she
also
worked
hard
on
her
Haryanvi
dialect
and
accent
and
for
a
moment
you
forget
it's
Yami
on
screen
because
all
you
can
see
is
Jyoti
Deswal,
a
strong,
confident,
no-nonsense
female
inspector.
There
is
a
practised
hardness
in
Jyoti,
that
is
her
stated
intent,
but
she
has
softer
virtues
(humility,
gentleness,
sympathy).
Yami
has
done
all
of
this
with
so
much
dignity
and
nobility.
She
was
definitely
a
great
team
player,
a
supporter
for
me
and
I
believe
that
is
the
mark
of
a
terrific
actor
and
Yami
deserves
all
the
accolades
coming
her
way
for
her
performance
in
the
film."
