Ever since Daaku Maharaaj hit the theatres, it wreaked havoc at the box office and kept the cash registers ringing. The film entered the coveted club of Rs.100 crore at the worldwide box office within the first 3 days of its release , marking a significant milestone. It witnessed a thunderous theatrical run, especially in the South belt. After Daaku Maharaaj received positive responses from the audience in the South belt, a Hindi dubbed version of the film was also released for the audiences in the Hindi belt. Both versions of the film were received well by the masses. While the cast impressed everyone with their screen presence, Pragya Jaiswal grabbed attention with a fierce portrayal of Kaveri. The actress showcased her emotional range as a power-packed performer and received heaps of praise from her fans.
Daaku Maharaaj features a star-studded cast with Nandamuri Balakrishna as the male lead. The movie also stars Bobby Deol as the main antagonist, while Urvashi Rautela, Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, and Chandhini Chowdary also have pivotal roles in the film.
Daaku Maharaaj has been written and directed by Bobby Kolli, who has previously worked on films like Jai Lava Kusa and Waltair Veerayya. The movie is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya.
The song Dabidi Dibidi from Daaku Maharaaj has been called a "cringefest" by netizens for its choreography. The song, which features lead actor Nandamuri Balakrishna (also known as Balayya) and actress Urvashi Rautela, has been slammed for its choreography. The song has been choreographed by Shekhar Master.
The choreography of the song, composed by S. Thaman, has been criticized for its "obscene and vulgar" dance steps. The song begins with Balakrishna sitting like a king, wearing a blue shirt and a bejeweled blue jacket. Urvashi, on the other hand, is seen dressed in a crop top and skirt. The song shows Balayya hitting Rautela's belly button and pulling her by her dress. He also hits her on her rear, which she seemingly enjoys.
