Dacoit’s Box Office Performance So Far
Dacoit box office collection day 8: Shaneil Deo’s Telugu-Hindi film stars Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap in lead roles.
Dacoit box office collection day 8: Shaneil Deo’s romantic drama, Dacoit: A Love Story, was released in theatres on April 10. The film managed to smash through Adivi Sesh ’s previous film, HIT: The Second Case’s lifetime haul, but has yet to beat Major’s numbers. The film, which also stars Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap, opened to mixed reviews but has become Sesh’s highest opening yet.
Adivi Sesh’s Highest Opening Yet
On its opening day, Dacoit collected ₹ 6.55 crore and stayed steady through the weekend, bringing in ₹ 6.85 crore and ₹ 6.40 crore. On Monday, the film collected ₹ 2.70 crore, bringing in ₹ 3 crore on Tuesday, showing a slight improvement after a dip. On Wednesday, Dacoit dipped again, with a ₹ 1.55 crore collection, and on Thursday, a ₹ 1.40 crore collection.
Anurag Kashyap’s Telugu Debut
He also stated that he couldn’t say no, as for the first time someone had cast him in a role besides the ‘crazy psychopath killer’. For the unversed, Sobhita made her acting debut with Anurag’s 2016 film Raman Raghav 2.0 and later worked with him in the Netflix anthology Ghost Stories in 2020. Dacoit is Anurag’s Telugu debut after he acted in Tamil and Malayalam films like Maharaja and Rifle Club. It remains to be seen if the Shaneil-directed film maintains momentum in its second week.
Dacoit’s performance in its second week will determine its overall success. Anurag Kashyap’s entry into Telugu cinema adds another layer of interest. The film’s ability to maintain momentum remains to be seen.
