DC Final Worldwide Box Office: Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Hero Debut Wraps Up at a Superb Rs 106 Crore

It’s a wrap at the box office for one of the year’s most talked-about Tamil releases. DC, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, has closed its theatrical run on a high note, finishing its journey with a solid Rs 106 crore gross worldwide.

Directed by Arun Matheswaran, the film didn’t just perform well — it marked a genuine milestone. This was Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut in a full-fledged hero role, and audiences clearly showed up for it.

How DC Performed Across Markets?

The film’s home turf naturally delivered the strongest numbers, but the real surprise came from Kerala, which pulled in a massive Rs 19.75 crore — a huge figure for a Tamil release given the market size. That performance alone helped DC become one of the biggest Tamil grossers ever in the state.

What Worked in DC’s Favour

Strong word-of-mouth and a soundtrack by Anirudh that quickly went viral played a major role in keeping the film’s momentum alive through its run. Beyond the numbers, the film carries extra significance for Lokesh Kanagaraj, better known as one of Tamil cinema’s most successful directors, stepping in front of the camera for the first time in a lead role.

With its theatrical run now complete, DC is heading straight to OTT this weekend, and industry watchers will be keeping a close eye on how it performs in its streaming debut.
