Adivi Sesh’s action drama Dacoit is on a dream run at the box office, delivering strong numbers in the Telugu states and overseas. What started with solid pre-release traction has turned into sustained box office success. Dacoit has officially crossed the $1 million mark at the North America box office, making it the fastest film of Adivi Sesh’s career to hit the milestone in the USA.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film’s performance proves Adivi Sesh’s solid credibility and loyal fan base among overseas audiences. This marks his third consecutive $1M grosser in the USA after Major and HIT 2, completing an impressive hat-trick of million-dollar films in North America.
Directed by Shaneil Deo and co-starring Mrunal Thakur, Dacoit has shown remarkable stability after a power-packed opening weekend. The film maintained strong weekday holds in the USA, signaling positive word of mouth. In the Telugu states, today’s holiday push led to a clear spike in footfalls, strengthening its domestic hold. With no major competition this week, Dacoit is set for an extended run at the box office.
The film is now inching towards the Rs 50 crore worldwide gross mark and is on track to become the fastest in Adivi Sesh’s career to reach that milestone. Dacoit has collected more than $1.2M in total overseas collections so far, with North America as the best-performing territory. To achieve complete recovery for buyers, the film needs to touch the $1.5M range in its full theatrical run, as Dacoit was sold for more than Rs 6 Cr in the North America territory.
