The Story in Brief
Arun Matheswaran's DC, featuring Lokesh Kanagaraj in his acting debut, collected Rs 9.55 crore net in India on Sunday, a 36.4% jump from Saturday's Rs 7 crore, according to Sacnilk. The film's three-day India net total stands at Rs 20.95 crore, with a worldwide gross of Rs 31.86 crore including Rs 7.75 crore from overseas.
Occupancy improved steadily from 24.8% on Friday to 40.1% on Sunday. The Tamil version led with Rs 6.60 crore at 58% occupancy, while the Telugu version added Rs 2.30 crore at 39% occupancy. The Hindi version earned only Rs 65 lakh from 1,331 shows at 13% occupancy.
The Indian Opinion
The usual narrative around weekend box office numbers treats a 36% jump as a triumph, but DC's Rs 20.95 crore three-day net is modest for a film with 4,600-plus shows. The Hindi dubbed version, at 13% occupancy, is clearly not clicking with that audience. A more meaningful test will be Monday's hold: if collections drop less than 50%, the word-of-mouth from the Tamil and Telugu versions might actually sustain the run. Otherwise, this is just a front-loaded weekend.
