The box office journey of Dacoit - Ek Prem Katha continues to spark interest, even as the film enters its midweek phase. While Wednesday brought a noticeable slowdown, the overall numbers tell a story of resilience. With steady overseas support and consistent domestic traction, the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer is holding its ground and inching closer to the Rs 44 crore mark worldwide.
Despite the midweek dip, the film’s worldwide total has climbed to Rs 43.89 crore by the end of Day 6. According to Sacnilk, the India net collection stands at Rs 27.05 crore, while the gross domestic figure has reached Rs 31.49 crore. Overseas markets have contributed Rs 12.40 crore so far, underlining the film’s sustained pull beyond India.
Earlier, the film also secured a spot among the top 10 at the USA box office, signalling growing traction internationally and positive word-of-mouth among global audiences.
On its sixth day, Dacoit collected Rs 1.55 crore net across 4,185 shows in India. This reflects a 48.3 percent drop compared to Day 5, when the film had earned Rs 3.00 crore. The decline aligns with typical midweek trends, as theatre occupancy dipped across regions.
