Dacoit crosses Rs 24 crore worldwide in 2 days; Adivi Sesh hits career milestone
Dacoit sails past Rs 24 crore worldwide in just two days, with strong regional performance and overseas momentum signaling a solid start for Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur.
Two days in, Dacoit has tallied India net 13.55 crore and India gross 15.81 crore. The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana belt has been the strongest region, in line with Adivi Sesh’s established fanbase in the Telugu-speaking market. Karnataka and the rest of India have also contributed meaningfully, though to a lesser extent. The film was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, giving it a genuine bilingual presence rather than a dubbed release.\n\nOn the overseas front, the film added Rs 2.50 crore on Day 2, taking its total overseas gross to Rs 9.00 crore across the two-day period. The production house confirmed that overseas collections have crossed the $1 million mark, indicating a solid showing in markets such as North America, where premiere sales had already crossed $100,000 before release. The worldwide gross now stands at Rs 24.81 crore after just two days of theatrical run.\n\nA career milestone for Adivi Sesh is evident in the data. With worldwide earnings of Rs 14.13 crore, Dacoit delivered a career-best opening day for the actor, surpassing his previous record set by Major, which had collected Rs 13.15 crore on its first day. The film’s strong early performance continues a streak of back-to-back double-digit worldwide openings for Sesh, a feat notable in the mid-budget Telugu space. This return also marks a notable comeback for him, given the nearly four-year gap since his last theatrical release.\n\nOverall, the bilingual nature, regional strength, and overseas momentum combine to paint a hopeful picture for Dacoit as it enters the weekend, with expectations of further growth if the domestic box office sustains its pace.
