The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The noise around Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut has been deafening, but the numbers tell a more nuanced story. DC is a clear hit, yet its opening weekend in Tamil Nadu was modest compared to the pre-release hype, it took strong performances in Kerala and Telugu states to push it into profit. The real question is whether the film can hold its ground against Vishwanath & Sons this weekend. Screen share and occupancy on Saturday will settle that.
