The action entertainer Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, has had a disappointing box office performance, collecting a total of ₹23.41 crore in its first weekend. On its third day, the film earned ₹6.40 crore, reflecting minimal growth from its opening day collection of ₹6.55 crore and ₹6.85 crore on Saturday. Directed by debutant Shaneil Deo, the film faced delays in its release initially scheduled for March 19, largely due to competition for screen space from other films. Adivi Sesh noted this competition during the trailer launch, emphasizing that while other films like Dhurandhar have strong runs, there is still room for diverse cinema. The film's narrative revolves around two former lovers who reunite for a series of life-altering robberies. Despite its intriguing premise, critical reception has been mixed, raising questions about its future at the box office.
