In a packed Bollywood season, ‘Dakuyt: Ek Prem Katha’ has emerged as a surprise powerhouse, crossing 13.55 crores in domestic collections over its first two days. Released on April 10 after several postponements, the film starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur has ignited screens with its blend of romance, action, and suspense.
Day one brought in 6.55 crores, followed by a robust 7 crores on Saturday, per Sacnilk data. Overseas markets contributed steadily, with 2.50 crores on day two, taking the foreign total to 9 crores. The worldwide figure now stands at an encouraging 24.81 crores, signaling strong legs ahead.
Pitted against the established dominance of ‘Dhurandhar 2’—featuring Ranveer Singh and a star-studded cast—’Dakuyt’ is carving its niche through word-of-mouth buzz. Critics praise its raw intensity and performances.
The plot revolves around Hari (Adivi Sesh), a man hardened by prison and deceit. Driven by fury towards Saraswati (Mrunal Thakur), whose courtroom words upended his world, he embarks on a perilous path of confrontation. Sparks fly when paths cross again, weaving a complex web of love and vendetta.
Supported by powerhouses like Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, and Atul Kulkarni, the film boasts a script penned by its leads. With theaters filling up and social media abuzz, ‘Dakuyt’ is poised for a lucrative run, underscoring the appeal of bold, original narratives in today’s cinema landscape.
