Trade Analysis & Verdict

- Regional Strength: The Nizam and Andhra regions contributed nearly 63% of the total Indian gross.
- The Competition Factor: The arrival of Bhooth Bangla this Friday (April 17) is expected to significantly reduce the screen count for Dacoit, especially in North India and major multiplexes.
- Current Status: The film is currently trending toward a “Below Average” to “Flop” status unless it shows a massive turnaround in its second weekend.
