As the hashtag #DasaRAW trended on Twitter after the release of the teaser, which itself gained views at an exponential rate. 

Today, February 13, ahead of Valentine’s Day, the makers released Dasara’s heartbreak anthem titled “Ori Vaari.” In this song, composed by Santhosh Narayanan, ‘Dharani’ (played by Nani) grieves the loss of a woman he loved dearly.
