DC Box Office: Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Directorial Debut Roars to Rs 42.50 Crore in Just 6 Days!

Tamil cinema has a new blockbuster on its hands. DC, marking director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s debut as a leading man alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, has stormed past the Rs 42 crore mark at the Indian box office in less than a week — and trade experts say it’s just getting started.

DC: A Steady Six-Day Run

The film opened modestly at Rs 5.25 crore on Friday but built strong word-of-mouth through the weekend, peaking at Rs 10.75 crore on Sunday. Even on weekdays — usually the toughest test for any release — DC held firm, dropping only marginally each day.

Kerala Emerges as the Real Surprise

While Tamil Nadu remains DC’s biggest market at Rs 13 crore, the real headline is Kerala, where the film opened to just Rs 50 lakh but has since exploded past Rs 10 crore — even notching its single biggest day there on Wednesday. Telugu states (Rs 11.75 crore) and Karnataka (Rs 5 crore) have also contributed heavily, pushing DC toward a projected first-week finish of Rs 47-48 crore.

For fans following India’s biggest theatrical battles this season, the excitement mirrors other franchise showdowns — much like how global superhero universes have built massive fan followings, a topic Wikipedia covers in detail in its overview of the DC Extended Universe.
