Dacoit continued its steady run at the Indian box office after a respectable opening weekend. The film, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, collected around ₹19.80 crore net in the first three days, driven largely by strong performances in Telugu-speaking markets. On Monday (Day 4), it registered an expected drop to approximately ₹2.70 crore net, taking the four-day India net total to ₹22.50 crore. This reflects typical weekday behaviour for a mid-budget bilingual release.
Early estimates for Day 5 (Tuesday, 14 April 2026) point to a further moderated collection of around ₹1.35 crore net. Advance bookings show modest occupancy of nearly 9 per cent across India, with Telugu shows contributing the bulk. The trend indicates the film is holding reasonably well in its core Andhra Pradesh and Telangana territories while the Hindi version remains limited in appeal.
Overall, Dacoit is proving to be a content-driven performer rather than a mass entertainer. Positive word-of-mouth in key regions is helping it sustain business, though pan-India traction remains moderate amid competition from holdover releases.

About Dacoit and Future Prediction
Dacoit: A Love Story is a bilingual action romantic drama that marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Shaneil Deo. The film follows the story of a man betrayed by his lover, who turns to a life of crime and seeks revenge. Adivi Sesh delivers a powerful performance in the lead role, supported by Mrunal Thakur in a key part and Anurag Kashyap in a pivotal supporting character. Shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, the movie blends intense action sequences with emotional drama.
Critics and audiences have offered mixed feedback, praising the lead performances and stylish execution while noting some pacing issues in the second half. The film has found its strongest audience in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it continues to draw steady footfalls thanks to Adivi Sesh’s established fan base.
Looking ahead, Dacoit is expected to maintain a decent hold over the coming weekdays if positive word of mouth sustains. With a budget of ₹65 crore, the film will need to cross ₹35-40 crore worldwide in the first week to stay on track for a respectable recovery. Long-term success will depend on how well it performs in non-Telugu markets and its ability to attract repeat viewers in the South.
