Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut DC continues its impressive box office run, crossing the ₹75 Cr mark worldwide despite facing stiff competition from Independence Day releases. The action drama is showing remarkable staying power in its second week.
Day 9 Box Office Performance
The film posted a solid ₹5.68 Cr tracked gross on Day 9, maintaining strong momentum even on a regular weekday. The 9-day all-India tracked gross now stands at ₹53.65 Cr, with actual collections expected to cross ₹55 Cr.
Including overseas collections, DC has comfortably crossed the ₹75 Cr mark worldwide, making it one of the successful releases of August 2026.
| Metric | Collection |
|---|---|
| 9-Day India Tracked Gross | ₹53.65 Cr |
| 9-Day India Actuals (Est.) | ₹55+ Cr |
| Day 9 Tracked Gross | ₹5.68 Cr |
| Worldwide Total | ₹75+ Cr |
Strong Trending Toward ₹100 Cr Club
DC is showing excellent trending patterns that suggest it will comfortably reach the ₹100 Cr mark in its theatrical run. After crossing ₹30 Cr in its first weekend, the film has maintained strong holds through the weekdays, collecting ₹51 Cr+ in just 5 days and continuing steady collections into the second week.
What’s particularly impressive is the film’s performance in single screens, where it registered house-full occupancy yesterday across multiple locations. This indicates strong word-of-mouth and repeat audience, crucial factors for sustained box office performance.
Audience Love for Music and Performances
The film has clearly struck a chord with audiences, who continue to flock to theaters to experience this action drama on the big screen. Anirudh Ravichander’s rocking music score has been a major draw, while Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi’s performances have earned positive response from moviegoers.
With the ₹75 Cr milestone already achieved and strong holds continuing, DC is well on its way to joining the prestigious ₹100 Cr club in the coming weeks.
