Lokesh Kanagaraj's debut as lead actor in 'DC' earned Rs 4.10 crore net in India on day one, according to Sacnilk estimates. The Tamil version contributed Rs 2.60 crore, while the Telugu version added Rs 1.25 crore and the Hindi version Rs 25 lakh.

The film's worldwide gross stood at Rs 5.70 crore, including Rs 1 crore from overseas. Early audience reactions on X praised Arun Matheswaran's direction, Lokesh's performance, and Anirudh Ravichander's music, though some viewers noted flaws in the writing.

Hype around 'DC' has been fuelled by social media reactions that call it a comeback for director Arun Matheswaran and a star-making turn for Lokesh Kanagaraj. But the mixed reviews and moderate opening-day figures suggest the film may need strong word-of-mouth to sustain beyond the weekend. Watch if the film crosses the Rs 20 crore mark in its first week, which will tell if this is a genuine hit or just a strong opener.
