Adivi Sesh’s much-awaited bilingual film Dacoit (also known as Dacoit: A Love Story), co-starring Mrunal Thakur, hit the screens on April , 2026. Directed by Shaneil Deo, the romantic action thriller received mixed reviews from audiences but managed a respectable opening at the global box office.

According to the latest reports, Dacoit collected approximately ₹13.57 crore gross worldwide on its first day.

Dacoit Day 1 Box Office Breakdown

• India Net Collection: ₹6.50 Crore (across ~3,800 shows)
• India Gross Collection: ₹7.57 Crore
• Overseas Gross: ₹6.00 Crore
• Worldwide Gross (Day 1): ₹13.57 Crore

The film witnessed a slow start in the morning shows but picked up pace as the day progressed. It faced competition from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2, which was in its fourth week but still pulled strong numbers.

Language-wise, the Telugu version contributed the major share in India, while the Hindi version opened on a quieter note. Overseas markets, particularly North America, showed decent interest thanks to strong pre-sales and Adivi Sesh’s growing fanbase abroad.

How Does Dacoit Day 1 Compare?

While not in the league of massive openers, the ₹13.57 crore worldwide figure is considered a decent beginning for a mid-budget bilingual film. Trade analysts note that the movie needs a strong weekend and positive word-of-mouth to recover its reported theatrical business of around ₹30 crore and achieve break-even (estimated at ₹60 crore+ worldwide gross).

Adivi Sesh, known for intelligent thrillers like Major and the HIT series, has taken a fresh romantic-action route with Dacoit. The film also features a powerful supporting cast including Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, and others.

Will Dacoit Pick Up Over the Weekend?

The fate of the film now depends on how it holds on Saturday and Sunday. Early trends suggest growth is possible if audience feedback improves. The unique “love story of two dacoits” angle and stylish action sequences are being talked about on social media.

Fans in Hyderabad, Telugu states, and overseas markets are expected to drive footfall over the weekend.

Final Verdict on Day 1

Dacoit has opened to a slow-to-moderate response in India but got a solid boost from overseas collections, taking the global total to ₹13.57 crore on Day 1.
