DACOIT is the story of a man on the run. The year is 2005. Haridas aka Hari (Adivi Sesh) meets Saraswati (Mrunal Thakur) in the village of Hindupuram, and the two fall in love. Their courtship lasts for a couple of years. Hari belongs to a lower caste and is... an orphan, while Saraswati comes from a wealthy upper-caste family. Saraswati wants him to become financially stable, believing that only then will he be able to ask for her hand in marriage. However, things go wrong when Hari and Saraswati are caught together by her family. One thing leads to another, and because of Saraswati, Hari is imprisoned. Thirteen years pass. The year is now 2021, during the COVID era, and Hari is lodged in Kadapa Central Prison. His former inmate, Ishaq Bhai (Atul Kulkarni), comes to meet him. Hari tells him how he was wronged by Saraswati and expresses his desire to escape from jail. Ishaq makes the necessary arrangements, and Hari manages to flee. Ishaq also arranges for him to leave the country on a ship set to sail from Mumbai in a few days. Hari needs Rs. 70 lakhs to escape illegally, and hence, he decides to steal the money. Before going ahead with his plan, he keeps an eye on Saraswati and realizes that she, too, is in desperate need of money. He approaches her and asks for her help in pulling off the theft. Saraswati agrees, as Hari promises to rob a huge sum that will solve her problem as well. However, Hari has an ulterior motive. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
