Lokesh Kanagaraj’s debut film as a lead hero, DC, is performing exceptionally well at the worldwide box office, but DC Tamil Nadu collections are surprisingly lower than other major markets. The action drama has collected ₹44 Cr gross worldwide in its first 4 days, with an unusual trend emerging across territories.
Monday Collections: Market-Wise Performance
After a fantastic opening weekend, DC continued its box office run on Monday. Here’s how the film performed across major markets:
| Market | Monday Gross |
|---|---|
| Telugu States | ₹1.83 Cr |
| Kerala | ₹1.68 Cr |
| Tamil Nadu | ₹1.76 Cr |
As the table shows, Telugu States lead the Monday collections with ₹1.83 Cr, while Kerala with ₹1.68 Cr is nearly catching up to Tamil Nadu’s ₹1.76 Cr.
Why Is DC Tamil Nadu Underperforming?
The DC Tamil Nadu box office performance is particularly surprising. Despite being Lokesh Kanagaraj’s homeland, Tamil Nadu is not performing up to expectations compared to the extraordinary performance in other markets.
Out of the ₹44 Cr gross worldwide in 4 days, Tamil Nadu contributed only around 22% of the revenue, which is quite shocking for what should be the home market advantage.
Telugu States and Kerala are leading the charge for DC at the box office, while Tamil Nadu’s contribution remains below expectations. For complete day-wise and territory-wise collection details, check the DC box office collections tracker.
