D for Dopidi - Movie Review
Sundeep Kishan, who is basking on the success of his recent release Venkatadri Express, is back with his next D for Dopidi (DFD) outing even before the completion of his last release in the theatres. Its trailers and posters have created lot of curiosity among the film goers. The movie has an interesting screenplay with a high entertainment quotient, but the nagging narration mars the beauty of the film.

D for Dopidi is a crime comedy and lead actors' performances are the main highlights of the film. Siraj Kalla's screenplay and dialogues, Mahesh Shankar's background music, Lucasz' Cinematography, good comedy scenes and actor Nani's voice over are other attractions of the flick. The poorly handled robbery scenes and slow-paced narration are the big drawbacks of the movie.
Director Siraj Kalla has a simple heist drama that revolves around the story of four immature guys, who rob a bank to fulfill their needs. Except for the first 20 minutes, the entire movie happens in a single locations - bank. Although the screenplay lacks enough amount of twists and turns, the director has managed to keep the audience engaged. His screenplay is one of the big assets of the movie.
