The much-delayed action drama Dacoit has finally hit theatres and made a solid impact on its opening day. Headlined by Adivi Sesh, the film has managed to pull audiences to cinemas despite multiple postponements during its production phase.

According to early estimates, Dacoit has collected approximately ₹13.5 crore gross worldwide on Day 1. The film recorded around ₹7.5 crore from India, while overseas markets contributed close to ₹6 crore, reflecting Sesh’s consistent pull among international audiences.

North America turned out to be the biggest overseas territory, contributing nearly ₹5.3 crore (around $570K). Additionally, the film crossed the ₹1 crore mark in the Hindi belt, which is considered a respectable performance given the current market conditions.

The pairing of Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, along with the film’s blend of action and romance, appears to have resonated well with audiences. Their on-screen chemistry and the film’s emotional core have been key factors in driving initial footfalls.

Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit had faced delays and reshoots, raising concerns ahead of release. However, the strong opening indicates positive audience interest.

With the crucial weekend ahead, the film’s performance on Saturday and Sunday will be vital in determining its overall box office trajectory. Meanwhile, Adivi Sesh has intensified promotions across Andhra Pradesh to sustain momentum and capitalize on the promising start.
