Dacoit continued its theatrical run on its sixth day with early estimates indicating a significant drop in collections, in line with typical weekday trends for mid-budget releases. On Day 5 (Tuesday), the film registered a modest recovery with India net collections of ₹3.00 crore, reflecting an 11.11 per cent growth over the previous day and demonstrating some resilience in core markets. However, preliminary figures for Day 6 (Wednesday) suggest a steep decline, underscoring the challenges faced by the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer as it moves deeper into the working week.
The overall trajectory remains steady in Telugu-speaking regions, where the film has drawn consistent audience interest, while Hindi belt performance has been comparatively subdued. Early tracking data from theatre occupancy and distributor reports point to limited footfalls on Wednesday, a common occurrence for non-holiday periods following the opening weekend surge. This performance pattern aligns with expectations for an action-romantic drama that opened to respectable numbers but now requires sustained word-of-mouth to maintain momentum.
Industry observers note that while the film has crossed key milestones in its first five days, the weekday slowdown highlights the need for stronger holds in the coming days. With early estimates now available, the six-day domestic total provides a clearer picture of its current standing at the box office.

About Dacoit and Future Prediction
Dacoit: A Love Story is a 2026 action romantic drama directed by Shaneil Deo in his directorial debut. The film stars Adivi Sesh in the lead role of Haridas “Hari”, a convict seeking vengeance after betrayal by his former lover Saraswati, portrayed by Mrunal Thakur. Supporting performances come from Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, and Atul Kulkarni, among others. The narrative blends elements of romance, action, and heist drama, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and redemption against a backdrop of crime and personal conflict. Released on 10 April 2026 in both Telugu and Hindi versions, the film has received mixed reviews, with appreciation for its lead performances and technical aspects but some criticism regarding pacing.
The movie has performed credibly in its opening phase, particularly in Telugu markets where it has accounted for the majority of collections. Strong initial ticket sales on BookMyShow and decent occupancy in key southern circuits contributed to a solid opening weekend. However, the Hindi version has seen comparatively lower engagement, reflecting a regional divide in audience response. As weekday collections taper, the film’s ability to sustain interest through positive word-of-mouth will be crucial.
Looking ahead, early predictions suggest Dacoit may conclude its run with worldwide gross collections in the ₹45-55 crore range if it maintains moderate holds over the next two weeks. Given its estimated budget of ₹65 crore, the film appears positioned for a moderate outcome rather than a blockbuster, with profitability likely dependent on non-theatrical revenues and strong performance in ancillary markets. Sustained growth in coming days could improve its verdict, though current trends indicate a steady but not explosive run.
