Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer Dacoit: A Love Story continues its underwhelming theatrical run, showing minimal growth in its second weekend. The film is now nearing the end of its box office journey with limited momentum.
The crime drama collected approximately Rs 4 crore in its second weekend, with Rs 1.60 crore coming on Day 10 (second Sunday). The lack of substantial growth over the weekend indicates muted audience interest, suggesting that the film’s run is tapering off faster than expected.
Box office trend and projections
After wrapping its first week on a modest note, the film has taken its 10-day total to around Rs 38 crore gross in India. Based on current trends, the collections are expected to witness a noticeable drop during the weekdays.
The film is likely to cross the Rs 40 crore mark in the next couple of days, but beyond that, the trajectory appears limited. If the weekday trend remains steady, Dacoit: A Love Story is expected to wrap up its lifetime run in the range of Rs 42–45 crore, depending on hold and competition.

Performance analysis
Directed by Shaneil Deo, the film opened to decent numbers but failed to sustain momentum due to average word-of-mouth. The sharp drop post the opening weekend and the inability to capitalize on the second weekend has significantly impacted its overall box office potential.
Despite featuring a strong ensemble cast including Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, and Atul Kulkarni, the film could not generate sustained audience traction.
