Dacoit Slows After Weekend as Monday Drop Leaves India Net Near ₹22 Crore

Conflicting box-office tallies raise doubts about the film’s path to cost recovery.

Overview

  • Dacoit, which posted a first Monday take of roughly ₹2.01–2.70 crore, has reached about ₹21.8–22.5 crore net in India after four days, according to trade tracker Sacnilk and outlet tallies.
  • Producer Annapurna touts more than ₹40 crore gross worldwide for the opening weekend, while trade reports peg the global haul closer to ₹38.5 crore based on domestic and overseas breakdowns.
  • Weekend trends were flat, with Sacnilk listing ₹6.55 crore Friday, ₹6.85 crore Saturday, and ₹6.40 crore Sunday, as mixed reviews praised performances but flagged a weak, generic screenplay.
  • Collections skew higher in Telugu than in Hindi, where the opening weekend was about ₹4.05 crore, and coverage notes screen pressure from Dhurandhar 2 that limited shows and footfall.
  • Budget estimates vary from about ₹62 crore to ₹80–100 crore, which alters recovery math, and multiple reports say Prime Video acquired post-theatrical rights with an earlier window expected for the Telugu version.
