Tollywood actor Nani's Dasara has emerged successful at the box office. In six days since its release, Dasara has entered the coveted Rs 100 crore club.

The film has grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide, making it Nani's first movie to achieve this milestone. The movie was directed by a debutant director Srikanth Odela and was produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV banner.

Nani took to Twitter to express gratitude towards the audience: "Our effort. Your gift. Cinema wins #Dasara." The film's success function held in Karimnagar was a grand affair, with the director receiving a BMW car, and each team member being gifted a 10-gram gold coin from the producer of the film.
Despite opening on a slow note in other languages outside Telugu states, the reception is reportedly picking up with positive talk. Set in a colliery village near the Singareni coal mines in Telangana, Dasara tells the story of a lowered caste man named Dharani (Nani), and his close friends Suri (Dheekshith) and Vennela (Keerthy Suresh).
