The Story in Brief
Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut 'DC' collected Rs 6.70 crore net in India on its second day, a 52.3% jump from the opening day's Rs 4.40 crore. The action film was screened across 3,549 shows on Saturday. Its total India net now stands at Rs 11.10 crore, with a gross of Rs 12.74 crore. The Tamil version contributed Rs 4.55 crore, Telugu Rs 1.75 crore, and Hindi Rs 40 lakh.
Overseas, the film earned Rs 3 crore gross on day two, taking its worldwide gross to Rs 17.99 crore. State-wise, Tamil Nadu led with Rs 2.40 crore gross, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (Rs 2.25 crore), Kerala (Rs 1.30 crore), and Karnataka (Rs 1.15 crore). The Tamil version recorded 63.33% overall occupancy, with night shows at 80.38%. ETimes gave the film 3.5 stars, praising its clear writing.
The Indian Opinion
The 52% jump on day two is a relief for the film's backers, but early box office figures often swing wildly. The real test is whether 'DC' sustains its momentum through the week. A single weekend spike can be distorted by advance bookings or holiday effect. Watch for the Monday drop: if it stays above Rs 3 crore, the film has genuine legs. Until then, calling it a hit is premature.
