The Story in Brief
Arun Matheswaran's DC, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj in his lead acting debut, has earned Rs 43.90 crore worldwide in four days, according to Sacnilk. The film collected Rs 5.70 crore net in India on Monday (Day 4) from 4,525 shows, taking its India net to Rs 26.65 crore. The Tamil version continues to drive collections with 58% occupancy on Sunday.
DC opened with Rs 4.40 crore on Friday and jumped 36.4% on Sunday to Rs 9.55 crore. In comparison, R. Madhavan's GDN has collected Rs 3.15 crore net in India over the same period. DC's Tamil version earned Rs 6.60 crore on Day 3 alone, while its Telugu and Hindi versions added Rs 2.30 crore and Rs 65 lakh respectively. The film's overseas gross stands at Rs 13.25 crore.
The Indian Opinion
The early box office numbers are being spun as a victory lap for Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Rs 43.90 crore worldwide in four days is solid, not spectacular. The real test begins now: will weekday holds drop sharply, or can DC sustain above Rs 3 crore net daily? Meanwhile, the lazy narrative that GDN is a flop ignores its slow-burn profile. Madhavan's film had a fraction of DC's screens. The question is not who won the opening weekend, but which film has the legs to cross Rs 50 crore first.
