Dacoit Release Date: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur Starrer to Premiere on April 10; Strategic Shift Confirmed

The highly anticipated Pan-India action entertainer Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, has officially locked in a new release date. According to an exclusive report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers have decided to release the film on April 10, moving it from its previously planned slot of March 19. This strategic realignment comes as the production team seeks to avoid a crowded theatrical window and ensure the film receives maximum visibility across both South Indian and Hindi markets. The decision to shift the release to April 10 is aimed at capturing the long weekend advantage, providing a stronger platform for the film's box office performance. With several big-ticket films slated for release in late March and early April, the team behind Dacoit—led by Annapurna Studios has opted for a window that allows the film a clearer run at the ticket windows. Dacoit is described as an intense, gritty action-drama and a soul-stirring love story. The film marks the directorial debut of Shaneil Deo, who has previously worked as a cinematographer on Adivi Sesh's acclaimed projects like Kshanam and Goodachari. The film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, underscoring its Pan-India appeal. Adivi Sesh, known for his impeccable track record in the thriller and drama genres, is coming off a string of back-to-back successes. His previous theatrical outings, including the biographical action drama Major (2022) and the investigative thriller HIT: The Second Case (2022), were both critical and commercial hits. Beyond Dacoit, Sesh is currently working on the high-budget sequel G2 (Goodachari 2), which is expected to further solidify his standing in the action genre. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Mrunal Thakur has also established herself as a formidable name in the South Indian film industry following her blockbuster debut in Sita Ramam (2022) and the successful emotional drama Hi Nanna (2023). Her ability to draw audiences in both the North and South makes her a key asset for Dacoit. Apart from this film, Mrunal has a packed 2026 schedule featuring a slate of high-profile Hindi projects. Her upcoming lineup includes the Sanjay Leela Bhansali production Do Deewane Seher Mein (Feb 20, 2026) alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi, and David Dhawan’s romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai (June 5, 2026) featuring Varun Dhawan. Additionally, she will be seen in the thriller Pooja Meri Jaan and a special musical project titled Bheegi Bheegi, which reunites her with her Sita Ramam co-star Dulquer Salmaan.

Toxic and Dacoit Postponed? Are Yash and Adivi Sesh Moving Dates to Avoid the Dhurandhar 2 Storm?

The Indian film calendar for 2026 is undergoing a major reshuffle as the Dhurandhar wave continues to dominate the industry. Following the unprecedented success of Aditya Dhar's first installment, filmmakers are reportedly reconsidering their release strategies to avoid a head-on collision with the upcoming sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. While one major project has officially moved its date, speculation is mounting that another pan-India giant might also seek a safer release window. It is now official that the Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur starrer Dacoit has been postponed. Originally slated for a high-profile theatrical premiere on March 19, 2026—the exact same day as the massive espionage sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge—the makers have decided to push the film to a later date to avoid a head-on collision. While the production house has officially cited post-production requirements as the reason for the delay, industry insights suggest that the primary driver is the anticipated dominance and massive screen occupancy expected for the Ranveer Singh-starrer. For a stylized actioner like Dacoit, securing a sufficient number of screens against a billion-dollar franchise would be an uphill battle. Consequently, the makers are now reportedly eyeing an April 2026 release, seeking a clearer window that would allow the film the breathing room it needs to maximize its box office potential. The bigger question mark surrounds Yash's highly anticipated pan-India film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. While there is no official confirmation yet, rumors are rife that the Geetu Mohandas directorial may also move its release date. Toxic is currently one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema, and a clash with Dhurandhar 2 would mean a division of screens and box office potential between two of the biggest giants of the year. While Yash's stardom is massive, the momentum behind the Dhurandhar franchise has created a situation where even the biggest producers are hesitant to risk a day-and-date clash. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The hesitation among filmmakers stems from the historic performance of the first Dhurandhar, which released on December 5, 2025. The film became an all-time blockbuster, recording a Worldwide Collection of ₹1303 Crore and an India Gross of ₹1004 Crore. What has truly added fuel to the fire is the film's record-breaking OTT trajectory. While the theatrical release was restricted to the Hindi language, the digital premiere on Netflix included Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada versions. This move allowed the film to penetrate the South Indian markets, where it became a massive hit among audiences and industry professionals alike. The digital release achieved an unprecedented milestone: within just 48 hours, Dhurandhar topped the trending charts in more than 10 countries, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Malaysia, Singapore, and Canada, as well as entering the Global Top 10 (Non-English) list. This streaming explosion transformed the film from a Hindi-language hit into a verified pan-India brand. The resulting hype has made Dhurandhar: The Revenge a much more formidable force than its predecessor, effectively turning the sequel into a must-watch event across all territories and forcing competitors to rethink their release windows. From a trade perspective, releasing two high-stakes films like Toxic and Dhurandhar 2 simultaneously is widely considered a poor move. Both films represent high production values and expect a massive opening. By staggering the releases, the industry ensures that each giant gets the breathing room required to maximize its box office potential. As of now, the world awaits March 19, 2026, to see if Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar can replicate the ₹1300 crore magic, and whether other films will clear the path for this cinematic storm.
