Dacoit box office prediction: Adivi Sesh film feels Dhurandhar 2 heat; to open at  ₹4 crore, less than Anaganaga Oka Raju
DAcoit package power: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur-starrer process thriller dakoit is releasing in theatres today ( apr 10). The Telugu-Hindi bilingual has been marketed heavily in both markets. But the pan-India aspirations of the film may not materialise at the box office. Early trends and the absence of any solid buzz indicate an underwhelming start for the film at the box officeDacoit advance booking collectionsIn India, Dacoit’s advance booking started on a dull note. The film sold only 25k tickets on the online ticketing platform BookMyShow in the two days leading up to its release. In comparison, big Telugu films like The RajaSaab and Ustaad Bhagat Singh sold 500K and 394K tickets respectively. However, it would be unfair to compare a small film like Dacoit with pan-India behemoths. Overseas, Dacoit fared better, crossing $100K in advance bookings for the paid previews in North America. Trade estimates show that the film crossed ₹6 crore gross in advance bookings worldwide.Dacoit box office predictionDespite releasing in both Hindi and Telugu, Dacoit is not expected to open in double digits at the domestic box office, which should be disappointing for its makers. In fact, early trends indicate that the film may not even reach the ₹5-crore net mark, which would give it a lower opening than the sleeper hit Anaganaga Oka Raju ( ₹5.5 crore) and the Hindi war drama Ikkis ( ₹7 crore).Dacoit’s relatively slow start means that for the fourth week in a row, Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar 2 will remain cinegoers’ first choice in theatres. The spy thriller is expected to out-earn Dacoit despite being in its fourth week. Dhurandhar 2 earned ₹7 crore on Thursday and is expected to maintain that collection on Friday, too. The film has already earned over ₹1000 crore net in India and ₹1650 crore gross worldwide, making it one of India's highest-grossing films of all time. If Dacoit wants to make a recovery through word of mouth in the days to come, it will need to contend with Dhurandhar 2's strong momentum.All about DacoitDirected by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit is an action thriller starring Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, and Anurag Kashyap in the lead roles. The film was earlier set for a March 19 release, but the makers reportedly decided to shift the date as Dhurandhar: The Revenge was also planned for the same day.
