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.

## Day-Wise Collection of DC

| Day | Gross Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Friday | Rs. 5.25 crore |
| Saturday | Rs. 7.50 crore |

## 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.

| Kerala | Rs. 8.10 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](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suriya)* in its second week.
