Dacoit box office collection day 5: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur‘s romantic action film received mixed reviews upon release and opened to a decent start at the box office. While the film saw a drop in collections on its first Monday, it managed to maintain momentum and is inching closer to surpassing Hit: The Second Case’s lifetime collection.
Dacoit’s box office performance so far
According to Sacnilk, Dacoit saw a drop in its collection on Day 4 (first Monday) and collected only ₹2.70 crore. On its second Tuesday and Day 5, the film managed to maintain momentum and collected ₹1.63 crore at the domestic box office. With this, the film’s total collection now stands at ₹24.13 crore.
Dacoit is faring better than Adivi Sesh’s previous movie, Hit: The Second Case, which collected ₹25.92 crore net in India. At this pace, Dacoit will be able to surpass the lifetime collection of Adivi’s last film by tomorrow. However, the ₹50 crore mark still seems far away.
