The Telugu trailer of Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy has arrived, giving Telugu audiences a closer look at the intense world of the film ahead of its October 2 release. Starring Keerthy Suresh, Sananth and Rishikanth, the film is set against a rural backdrop and revolves around friendship, love, violence and the social pressures surrounding its characters.
The trailer introduces Karthi and Subbu as two close friends who have grown up together. Their bond appears to be at the heart of the story, with the two sharing a friendship that seems almost inseparable. An older man is also seen stressing the importance of their friendship, suggesting that their relationship has been important to them and the people around them from a young age.
As the story moves forward, the peaceful equation between the two friends starts changing. They find themselves entering a much darker world involving violence and dangerous situations, while the trailer hints that circumstances could eventually put their friendship to the test. The biggest question is what exactly causes two people who have been so close to turn against each other.
Keerthy Suresh’s Dorothy enters this equation as a major turning point. Her character appears to share a close relationship with one of the men, and her presence gradually changes the dynamics between the friends. The trailer doesn't reveal the complete reason behind their conflict, but jealousy, love, trust and betrayal seem to play an important role. The film appears to be more than a straightforward friendship drama, with Karthik Subbaraj bringing in deeper social themes as well.
Visually, Dorothy maintains the raw and rustic atmosphere seen in the earlier trailer, while the performances and intense situations add to the curiosity. With Keerthy Suresh in a pivotal role and Sananth and Rishikanth carrying the central friendship, the film looks like an emotional story that gradually turns darker.
Dorothy is written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, with music by Ilaiyaraaja. The Tamil version premiered at TIFF and was released theatrically on September 25, while the Telugu version is arriving on October 2 through Spirit Media.
