It started small, but *DC* is finishing its opening week loud. Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi’s Tamil action drama collected Rs 4.75 crore on Day 7, closing week one at a strong **Rs 47.25 crore gross** — an impressive climb for a film that opened at just Rs 5 crore.

Directed by Arun Matheswaran, *DC* has been riding a wave of positive word-of-mouth throughout the week, keeping single-digit-crore days steady even past the opening weekend rush. With the Rs 50 crore mark expected to fall by end of day, the film has already been declared a **Clean HIT**.
