Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit has opened to a sensational response at the global box office, becoming the actor’s fastest film to cross the half-million-dollar mark in the USA. The love-action drama, directed by Shaneil Deo, registered strong premiere numbers overseas and maintained impressive momentum through Day 1. Dacoit collected $575K+ in the USA and is still counting, comfortably surpassing the opening day collections of Adivi Sesh’s previous releases. Worldwide, the film grossed ₹15 Cr+ on its first day, making it the biggest opener of Sesh’s career.
Dacoit saw massive audience turnout from day one, with footfalls doubling for matinee shows compared to morning shows in Telugu states. The strong trend continued for subsequent shows across regions. On BookMyShow, pre-sales and first-day ticket sales together crossed 250K, showing solid advance booking demand. The Hindi version of Dacoit also posted a notable ₹1.25 Cr on opening day, adding to the film’s pan-India reach.
Known for building his market with content-driven films, Adivi Sesh has taken a major leap with Dacoit. The Shaneil Deo directorial has pushed his box office pull to the next level, drawing crowds across Telugu and Hindi markets. The strong word of mouth and packed theatres signal that Dacoit has connected well with audiences right from the first day.
With remarkable advance sales and solid Day 1 collections, Dacoit is poised for a strong first weekend and a long theatrical run. The USA half-million milestone, ₹15 Cr+ worldwide gross, and high BookMyShow ticket sales confirm Dacoit as Adivi Sesh’s biggest opening yet.
