Dacoit’ Slows as Trade Puts Week-One Gross Near ₹44 Crore, Producers Say ₹50 Crore

Differing box-office counts alongside wide budget guesses now shape debate over the film’s first-week performance.

Overview

  • Following Wednesday’s Day-6 drop, industry tracker Sacnilk estimates the Adivi SeshMrunal Thakur film at ₹27.05 crore net in India and ₹43.89 crore worldwide, with a 48% fall from Tuesday’s take.
  • The Telugu version led Day-6 business with about ₹1.05 crore net and 18% occupancy, while the Hindi version added roughly ₹50 lakh with around 9% occupancy, pointing to stronger regional pull.
  • The producers assert the movie has just crossed ₹50 crore worldwide and describe the spend as a modest ₹65 crore, while several reports peg costs as high as ₹80–100 crore, driving disagreement on its status.
  • Reviews skew lukewarm to negative, including a 1.5-star Indian Express write-up, even as stars like Ram Charan and peers such as Nani publicly praised the performances and urged theatrical viewing.
  • The Shaneil Deo–directed debut opened April 10 after a delay to avoid Dhurandhar 2, which continues to dominate screens, and reports indicate an Amazon Prime Video release will follow with Telugu arriving earlier than Hindi.
