Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut DC has been declared a hit by trade circles, collecting an estimated Rs 66 crore worldwide in its first week. The film’s India gross is around Rs 46.5 to Rs 47 crore, with an additional Rs 19.5 crore from overseas, tracktollywood.com reports. In a rare feat, day seven collections exceeded the opening day, driven by strong word-of-mouth in Kerala and Telugu states. The action-crime drama, directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sun Pictures, now faces the new release Vishwanath & Sons on August 14. Pinkvilla puts the six-day India gross at Rs 42 crore. The film’s momentum will be tested as screens are reallocated for the Independence Day holiday.
