Dasharatha is a 2019 Kannada film directed by M. S. Ramesh and starring Ravichandran, Sonia Agarwal, and Abhirami.
Dashratha, a righteous lawyer, leads a happy life with his wife, son and daughter. The latter completes her college and joins a job soon after. However, trouble begins in their happy life when his daughter falls in love with her employer.
M. S. Ramesh was inspired to make a film with Ravichandran in the role of a lawyer after watching Yuddha Kaanda.[1] Actress Sonia Agarwal returns to Kannada cinema after more than 15 years. The makers asked Darshan to sing a song in the film. The actor initially declined before accepting.[2]
The music was composed by Gurukiran.[2]
The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Dasharatha could have been a far more engaging story". The reviewer praised the performances of Sonia Agarwal and Abhirami in their comeback to Kannada cinema.[3] Bangalore Mirror criticized the uninteresting plot while praising the film's dialogues.[4]
