Dacoit’s Box Office Opening and Weekend Performance
Dacoit box office collection day 4: The film starring Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap has collected over ₹ 20 crore in India so far.
Dacoit box office collection day 4: Cinematographer-turned-director Shaneil Deo’s debut film Dacoit: A Love Story hit screens on Friday. The film starring Adivi Sesh , Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap crossed ₹ 20 crore net in India. After holding steady through the weekend, the film witnessed an expected dip on Monday.
Telugu Version Outshines Hindi Version
Dacoit registered a ₹ 6.55 crore opening on Friday and showed minimal improvement by bringing in ₹ 6.85 crore and ₹ 6.40 crore on Saturday and Sunday. The film seems to be performing better in Telugu than the Hindi version despite being shot simultaneously in both languages.
The over ₹ 20 crore domestic collection means that Dacoit might cross the ₹ 25.92 crore lifetime domestic haul of Sesh’s previous film HIT: The Second Case (2022) soon. However, there’s still a way to go if it has to beat Major (2022), which had a domestic collection of ₹ 41.03 crore.
Nani’s Rave Review of ‘Dacoit’
Actor Nani, who produced HIT 2, was all praise for Dacoit and Sesh in his review on X (formerly Twitter). “True BLOCKBUSTER with all heart. #DACOIT WHAT A FILM! Just don’t miss this theatrical experience,” he wrote, adding, “@AdiviSesh was fantastic and it is his best till date. Sesh to you and Abburi Ravi gaaru and everyone in the writing and screenplay department. @mrunal0801 how beautifully you have immersed in to this one. One more feather in your hat.”
He also praised Supriya for making what he termed as ‘one of the best films of the year’ writing, “#Supriya it’s amazing how you pulled off one of the best films of the year. Full power to you rockstar. Beautifully directed, terrific score, amazing visuals. Big congratulations to the team.” Dacoit was supposed to be released in March but was delayed amid Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s release and reign at the box office.
While ‘Dacoit’ experienced a minor dip, its strong early performance and positive reviews suggest it could have staying power at the box office. It remains to be seen if it will surpass Sesh’s previous hits.
