After producing the National Award-winning film Colour Photo and the blockbuster Bedurulanka 2012, Ravindra Benerjee Muppaneni of Loukya Entertainments is now presenting his latest film, Dandora. The film features Shivaji, Navdeep, Nandu, Ravikrishna, Manika Chikkala, Mounika Reddy, Bindu Madhavi, Radhya, Aditi Bhavaraju, and others in key roles.

Directed by Murali Kanth, the film is set for a grand release on December 25, 2025. On Monday, the team unveiled the teaser, giving a glimpse into what the film intends to convey. The teaser begins on a humorous note with a lover trying to kiss his girlfriend, who reacts playfully. 

The next scenes introduce two key characters. Navdeep plays a sarpanch, appearing stylish with cooling glasses and a confident attitude. Shivaji is introduced next, delivering a bold dialogue: “Go to Hyderabad… go to America… go anywhere you want. But if you die, you must come back here.”

Navdeep’s sarcastic dialogue, “We’re not the ones who cause trouble… but if trouble comes to us, we won’t stay quiet,” adds a comic touch set in a rural backdrop. Another character, played by Nandu, is shown scolding his wife and daughter. Bindu Madhavi appears in the role of a sex worker, delivering a powerful line: “Who said I’m doing something wrong? They’re paying money… I’m giving them a service.”

The Dhandoraa teaser then shifts into an emotional segment. A dead body is being carried away, and a child asks why they are taking his grandmother so far. Shivaji responds: “Don’t talk like you know the whole world just because you’ve read a few books… there’s a world you don’t know.” This dialogue hints that the film explores deeper themes about the struggles, situations, and emotions a person faces between birth and death. 

Dhandoraa appears to narrate a socially relevant story based on how atrocities continue even today when girls from dominant castes love or marry outside their caste. Set against a Telangana rural backdrop, the film blends ancient traditions, satire, humor, and heartfelt emotions. The teaser makes it clear that the director aims to tell a strong, impactful story, increasing expectations for the film.

The film’s songs are being released through T-Series. Atharvana Bhadrakali Pictures is handling the overseas release.
