News Topical, Digital Desk : For Tollywood, 2026 hasn't been a great year so far. While the South Indian industry has seen successful films like "Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu" and "Anaganaga Oka Raju," there hasn't been much relief at the Indian box office. Meanwhile, the Telugu film industry is now set to release Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's "Dakait" in theaters, and expectations are high for this film. So, let's find out how much "Dakait" could collect on its first day of release.

' Dacoit ' doesn't have much buzz.
The trailer for Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's upcoming film 'Dacoit' was recently released and has received mixed reviews from audiences. The film itself hasn't generated much buzz yet. It's worth noting that the film releases in theaters this Friday (April 10th), meaning only five days are left. Therefore, the buzz is expected to remain the same, with little or no room for improvement. However, the lack of major Telugu films in theaters could benefit 'Dacoit'.

Will it be able to enter the top 3 Tollywood openings of 2026 ?
Dacoit is highly unlikely to have a strong opening day at the Indian box office, and it may miss out on the top 3 Tollywood openers of 2026. To enter the top 3 Telugu openers of the year, it will have to surpass Anaganaga Oka Raju (5.5 crores), which seems a bit difficult as there is no holiday benefit this Friday. However, it could surpass Bharatha Mahasayulaku Vignyapti (2.6 crores) to become the fourth-highest Tollywood opener.

Here are the top 5 Tollywood openers (net) of 2026 in India.

The Raja Saab – Rs 62.9 crore
Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu – 41.6 crores
