Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut DC grosses Rs 100 crore worldwide in 2 weeks
The Tamil film DC, marking director Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut, has grossed Rs 100 crore worldwide within two weeks of its release on August 7. The film, directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sun Pictures, stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy alongside Kanagaraj.
Onlykollywood.com reports that the film crossed the 50 crore milestone in five days and doubled that figure globally. Hindustan Times, citing trade website Sacnilk, reports a domestic net collection of Rs 61.54 crore and a gross of Rs 70.85 crore in India, with Rs 21.85 crore from overseas, totalling Rs 92.70 crore in 14 days. The film has received praise from industry figures including Suriya, Mahesh Babu, and Allu Arjun.
DC is among the highest-grossing Tamil films this year, behind Vijay's Jana Nayagan, Suriya's Karuppu, and Vishwanath & Sons. It has surpassed Parasakthi's lifetime collection of Rs 85.10 crore to take the fourth spot. The film's performance in its third week will determine its final box office total.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage from both outlets is straight reporting with no discernible slant. Onlykollywood.com focuses on the milestone and industry praise, while Hindustan Times adds granular Sacnilk figures and context on the film's ranking among Tamil releases this year. Neither outlet presents criticism or controversy. The measured takeaway is that DC has achieved a solid commercial result for a medium-budget film, bolstered by strong word of mouth and Anirudh's music. Watch whether it sustains momentum in the third week to challenge the top earners.
