The action thriller Dacoit, starring Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh, has been given a new release date. Originally set for a December 2025 premiere, the film's release was postponed to 2026 due to Sesh's injury. Thakur confirmed the new date by sharing a poster of the film on X (formerly Twitter). The movie will release in theaters worldwide on March 19, 2026, in Hindi and Telugu languages. The film Dacoit will be released around the same time as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama Love & War. The poster shared by Thakur features her and Sesh in an action-packed scene, with Sesh holding a gun. The caption read, Experience explosive drama with #DACOIT. Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit follows an enraged convict seeking revenge on his ex-girlfriend for betraying him. Apart from Thakur and Sesh, the movie also stars Anurag Kashyap in a key role. In a previous interview with Zoom, Sesh described the film's tone as very muscular. He said, Every line has been discussed; each dialogue has been acted out with each other. I think it's Shaneil's vision that's really sort of made it very contemporary. He added, It's a very American look at a very Indian story. The film is expected to draw audiences in with its unique storyline on the Gudi Padwa-Eid weekend.
