Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha has finally hit the big screens today after facing multiple delays. The bilingual romantic action drama recorded a low opening day in Hindi. As per estimates, the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer could collect a mere Rs. 75 lakh on its opening day at the Hindi box office.
The low opening could be a result of less buzz and anticipation among the Hindi audience. Directed by Shaneil Deo, the movie has met with mixed word-of-mouth so far, which could be concerning for the makers. Dacoit should aim for good growth over the weekend and then record a healthy run on the weekdays in order to reach a respectable figure.
It is all set to face Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla from April 16’s eve onwards, as the horror-comedy will have a paid preview a day before its full-fledged release. It will be interesting to see whether or not Dacoit can show some legs in its first week and then manages to hold well against the Akshay Kumar film.
