'Dacoit', featuring Adivi Sesh (known for his roles in Telugu cinema) and Mrunal Thakur, has had a lukewarm response at the box office, collecting ₹23.41 crore (approximately $2.8 million USD) in its first three days. The film opened with ₹6.55 crore on its first day, followed by ₹6.85 crore on the second day, and ₹6.59 crore on its third day, indicating minimal growth despite being a Sunday. Directed by debutant Shaneil Deo, the film revolves around two former lovers who are compelled to collaborate on a series of robberies. While the performances received praise, critics have pointed out that the screenplay lacks originality, making it feel generic. The film's release was pushed from March 19, and Adivi Sesh commented on the competitive landscape, suggesting that viewers looking for alternatives to the successful film 'Dhurandhar' might still find value in 'Dacoit'.
