A Comedy Drama Starring Abhishek Bachchan Telling the Importance of Education
Chief
Minister Ganga Ram Chaudhary (Abhishek Bachchan) of Harit Pradesh gets arrested
in a school-related money scam and is under the supervision of strict lady cop
Jyoti Deswal (Yami Gautam) in jail. Meanwhile, he asks his wife Bimla Devi
(Nimrat Kaur) to be the new CM in his absence. Ganga Ram develops a keen
interest to pass the 10th and starts to study hard for it, while on the other
side Bimla Devi gets addicted to power and does not want Ganga Ram back again.
There are
many hiccups in the narrative. For instance, the whole Bimla Devi act of
becoming evil wasn't fully convincing. Or how much support Ganga Ram gets in
jail from even the cop Jyoti felt a little too much. Some songs also loosen out
the story, which could have been done away with. Yet, I mostly found myself
smiling and enjoying the movie, which also delivers a message about how
important education is, even if you are a minister.
Innovative Education Learning Methods in Dasvi
The
tutorial ways were my favorite bits, especially how Ganga Ram learns
probability, chemistry, and active-passive voice (everyone loves Deepika was
hilarious), with references to Taare Zameen Par in Hindi teaching and much
more. The history lesson could have avoided making Ganga Ram be part of the
past events; that felt unnecessary and silly.
Also,
seeing him earn 57% in the results was good. Most writing teams in such
scenarios would go overboard as if a miracle would happen and the person would
get 80% or more. The scenes involving Jyoti and other junior cop Satpal Tomar
(Manu Rishi Chadha's comic timing is top level as always) were fun, especially
the 'Woh loomad hai' replied with 'Aur aap sherni'.
Dasvi is Among Abhishek Bachchan’s Career-Best Performances
I also
enjoyed Abhishek Bachchan sort of doing 'Joker happy dance' at one moment; I
think it was when he told Jyoti that he would do the Dasvi exams. His Haryanvi
dialect is up to the mark too, which is actually the case with the entire cast.
Definitely can add this among his good performances of his career, more of an
entertaining role that he did pretty well.
Yami Gautam is Impressive in Supporting Role
Yami
Gautam does a great job; it is very enjoyable how she treats Ganga Ram as not
above the law and then helps in his transformation, which as I mentioned before
goes slightly too far.
Final Verdict on Dasvi
Overall,
Dasvi entertains despite some issues in the narrative. The final end result is
still good and a lovely lighthearted movie to watch.
