Dacoit: A Love Story collected Rs. 8.50 crore on its Day 2, registering a muted growth over its opening day. The two-day cume of the romantic action drama has reached Rs. 16.75 crore at the Indian box office. That’s an underwhelming total for the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur film.
Directed by Shaneil Deo, the movie is looking to remain flat on its Day 3 as well, which will close its opening weekend around Rs. 24 crore gross or so at the Indian box office. The movie is suffering from a lack of anticipation and mixed word-of-mouth. Had the movie received a positive reception, it might have had some chances at the box office.

The Adivi Sesh starrer grossed around Rs. 11 crore from the Telugu states, while the other markets remained muted. Karnataka contributed around Rs. 2.20 crore, followed by a dismal Rs. 35 lakh combined from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In fact, the movie couldn’t even hit a needle in the Hindi markets.
It fetched around USD 1 million in the international markets, bringing its worldwide cume to Rs. 26 crore gross in two days of theatrical run. It needs to see a miraculous hold on the weekdays in order to record a respectable theatrical run.
