Director-turned-actor Lokesh Kanagaraj’s debut film, co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi, pulled in another Rs. 6.50 crore on Tuesday, pushing its five-day total to a solid Rs. 36.50 crore gross in India. What makes this run special is the trend: the film is actually posting bigger weekday numbers than its opening day — a rare and healthy sign for word-of-mouth.

Where DC Is Winning Big
Tamil Nadu leads with Rs. 11.50 crore, followed closely by the Telugu states at Rs. 10 crore. But the real surprise is Kerala, where the film opened at a modest Rs. 50 lakh and has since exploded to Rs. 8.10 crore — Tuesday’s number alone was nearly four times its Day 1 haul there. Karnataka added Rs. 4.50 crore, while the rest of India chipped in Rs. 2.40 crore.
| Territory | Gross Collection |

| Tamil Nadu | Rs. 11.50 crore |
| Andhra Pradesh/Telangana | Rs. 10.00 crore |
| Karnataka | Rs. 4.50 crore |
| Kerala | Rs. 8.10 crore |
| Rest of India | Rs. 2.40 crore |
| India Total | Rs. 36.50 crore |
With a strong hold like this, trade watchers now expect DC to close its opening week near Rs. 45 crore and cross the Rs. 50 crore milestone by the second weekend — an impressive feat for a movie that opened at just Rs. 5 crore. Its next test comes when it squares off against fresh competition from Vishwanath & Sons in its second week.
