Dacoit: A Love Story had a tough opening day. Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur’s much-anticipated romantic actioner, which hit screens on April 10, 2026, managed only a modest start at the worldwide box office — raising serious questions about its commercial viability in the days ahead.

Dacoit: A Love Story grossed Rs 14.75 crore at the worldwide box office on its opening day.

What Do the Numbers Say?

The film is performing better in urban centres like Hyderabad and Bengaluru, while it has had an ordinary run in other areas. Even the Hindi dubbed version has not attracted much footfall.

Compared to its high production costs, the film needs to earn better numbers at the box office in the coming days. Positive word of mouth is the only potential boost for the film, which also seems uncertain at the moment.

The overseas performance, particularly from the US, is the one bright spot — but it’s far from enough to offset the underwhelming domestic run.

What Is Dacoit About?

Dacoit: A Love Story follows Hari, a convict who seeks revenge against his former lover Saraswati after a betrayal leads to his imprisonment. After being released, Hari becomes involved in a series of robberies while pursuing his personal vendetta, with his path eventually crossing Saraswati’s once again — leading to a dramatic conflict between the two.

Known for the critically acclaimed Major (2022), Adivi Sesh was hoping Dacoit would cement his status as a bankable lead — but the numbers so far suggest an uphill battle.
