Dacoit Slows Midweek After Solid Start, Nears ₹44 Crore Worldwide

The midweek drop leaves theatrical recovery uncertain against a reported ₹80–100 crore budget.

Overview

  • Trade tracker Sacnilk estimates show a 48% fall on Wednesday, taking India net to ₹27.05 crore and worldwide gross to ₹43.89 crore by day six.
  • The film opened on April 10 with a decent weekend, then Monday slipped to ₹2.70 crore in India before a holiday lift to ₹3 crore on Tuesday.
  • Critics have been lukewarm, with The Indian Express rating it 1.5 stars, even as Ram Charan, Nag Ashwin and Imran Khan praised the performances and technical work.
  • Telugu screenings led day-six earnings over Hindi, pointing to stronger traction in southern markets than in the north.
  • Reports say Amazon Prime Video has acquired post-theatrical rights with Telugu expected roughly four weeks after cinemas and Hindi about six, which could bolster total returns.
