Dacoit box office collection day 2: Dacoit was released in theatres on April 10 after facing delays. There was a lot of anticipation for the film, given that it starred Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur together for the first time, and the premise received an exciting response from viewers after its teaser reveal. Has the film lived up to the expectations? Dacoit opened to decent numbers amid mixed reviews, but has not seen any major growth so far.
