Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit is set to cross the ₹50 Cr worldwide gross mark today, becoming his second film to achieve this milestone after Major. Despite opening to mixed reviews and word-of-mouth, the action thriller has shown resilience at the box office, particularly in metro cities and overseas markets.
Strong Weekend Hold
The film has been performing well this weekend across key markets. In cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Vizag, Dacoit is outperforming the new releases that failed to impress audiences. Overseas circuits have contributed significantly to the collections, with the film crossing $1 million in North America earlier this week.
| Milestone | Worldwide Gross |
|---|---|
| Opening Day | ₹12 Cr |
| Weekend (3 Days) | ₹32.5 Cr |
| Day 6 | ₹43 Cr |
| Current | ₹50 Cr+ |
The steady weekday hold and strong weekend trends have helped Dacoit reach this milestone despite the initial mixed reception.
Significance for Adivi Sesh’s Career
Crossing the ₹50 Cr mark proves the trust and credibility Adivi Sesh has built among audiences. Major was his first film to enter this club, and Dacoit joining it reinforces his position as a bankable actor in Telugu cinema.
Though the film did not achieve the blockbuster status expected, this box office performance will greatly help the business prospects of his next and biggest film, Goodachari 2. The pre-release business of ₹30 Cr demonstrated strong market confidence, and delivering consistent returns matters for future projects.
