DC Box Office Collection Day 4 [Updated]: Lokesh Kanagaraj Passes Monday Test, Worldwide Total Hits ₹44 Cr

After delivering a sensational opening weekend, the real test for any theatrical release is the dreaded first Monday. Proving its mettle and relying on incredibly strong audience word-of-mouth, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut DC has passed its 1st Monday test with flying colors.

Directed by Arun Matheswaran, the action-crime drama managed to pull fantastic numbers on a working day, proving that its box office rampage is here to stay.

Here is the complete breakdown of the DC movie collection for Day 4, including a massive surprise from the Telugu states, and the updated worldwide gross.

Quick Box Office Summary: 4 Days Total

  • Day 4 Tracked Gross (India): ₹6.30 Cr
  • 4 Days Tracked Gross (India): ₹28.28 Cr
  • Estimated Actual India Gross: ₹31 Cr
  • Overseas Gross (Updated): $1.35 Million (~₹13.00 Cr)
  • Total Worldwide Gross: ~₹44.00 Cr

The Monday Hold: Day 4 Outperforms Day 1!

While a drop from a massive Sunday is standard for any film, DC achieved something phenomenal. On Day 4 (Monday, August 10), the film collected a tracked gross of ₹6.30 Crore.

Although this is a 39.6% drop from Sunday’s peak (₹10.43 Cr), the Monday collections are actually 35% higher than the film’s opening day (Day 1: ₹4.67 Cr). Securing a Monday that is substantially bigger than a release day is the ultimate stamp of a box office hit.

The film maintained a solid 24.6% occupancy across 5,545 shows in 744 cities, driven heavily by Anirudh Ravichander’s background score and thrilling action blocks.

The Telugu Market Surprise: Hyderabad Beats Chennai

In a massive surprise that highlights Lokesh Kanagaraj’s incredible brand pull in the Telugu states, Hyderabad emerged as the top-grossing city for the film on Monday!

The Telugu-dubbed version operating in Hyderabad collected ₹85 Lakhs, narrowly beating out the film’s home turf, Chennai, which tracked at ₹82.5 Lakhs. This exceptional performance in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is a primary reason the film’s All-India collections are holding so strong.

Backed by an impressive update from the international markets, DC is rapidly inching toward the half-century mark globally.

If it continues to hold this momentum through the rest of the weekdays and capitalizes on the upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend, trade analysts suggest the film might even aim for the elite ₹100 Crore mark in its full theatrical run.

Dookudu 4K Re-Release Day 1 Box Office Collection: Mahesh Babu’s Blockbuster Grosses ₹2.4 Cr Worldwide

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s birthday brought a wave of mass euphoria to theaters on August 9, 2026. Celebrating the special occasion, his 2011 blockbuster Dookudu hit the big screens once again in a fully remastered 4K version.

Despite having a limited screen count, the official Dookudu re release collection has proven the enduring legacy of this action-comedy classic. Fans flooded theaters, creating a festival-like atmosphere and generating exceptional box office numbers for its opening day.

Here is the complete breakdown of the official Day 1 collections and the ongoing Day 2 live tracking.

Dookudu Re Release Day 1 Collection Worldwide

Dookudu Re Release Collection Worldwide~₹2.40 Cr

With approximately ₹2.40 Crore generated globally on Day 1, the Dookudu collections for this re-release stand as a massive achievement considering the limited number of allocated shows.

Overcoming the Massive Screen Crunch

What made this Dookudu re release day 1 collection truly remarkable was the intense box office competition it faced over the weekend.

Dookudu battled a severe screen crunch, being cramped between two massive Hollywood blockbusters, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, both of which were running successfully and occupying major multiplex chains.

Adding to this heavy traffic, the newly released Korean Kanakaraju and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s DC took up a significant chunk of single screens and multiplexes in the Telugu states. Considering this immense competition, scoring nearly 60% occupancy and over ₹2 Crore in India on a highly limited screen count proves the unmatched craze for Mahesh Babu’s cult classic.

Darshan Case: Accused Turns Approver, Reveals Fan Murder Details

Sensational details have emerged in Kannada actor Darshan’s fan murder case, as his close aide has revealed unknown facts about the incident. Pradosh (Accused No. 14), a follower of Darshan who has turned approver, has testified that Darshan Thoogudeepa brutally beat the fan after stripping him down to his underwear and hanging him from a car.

Shocking Revelations by Accused No. 14

Pradosh’s revelations detail the disturbing sequence of events:

Darshan beat Renukaswamy, who had sent messages to Pavithra Gowda, causing bleeding from the head while verbally abusing him. Pavithra Gowda went to the scene at Darshan’s behest and struck Renukaswamy with a slipper.

Renukaswamy was hung from a ‘Tata Ace’ vehicle by his underwear and assaulted with a nylon rope. After providing food and water, Darshan kicked Renukaswamy hard on the chest and neck.

Renukaswamy collapsed and lost consciousness as a result, and Darshan then attempted to stomp on Renukaswamy’s chest while standing on it.

Pradosh stated that he pulled Darshan away at that moment and realized Renukaswamy had died, but Darshan threatened to shoot himself if the murder matter was not settled.

Pradosh testified that they tried to keep the incident under wraps for the same reason. After revealing all details, he has filed a petition requesting to be kept in a separate cell, away from Darshan.

The court is set to hear the petition and deliver a final verdict.

About Darshan’s Case

Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa is an undertrial prisoner jailed in connection with the June 2024 abduction and murder of his 33-year-old fan, Renukaswamy. He faces charges including murder, kidnapping, and criminal conspiracy.

Darshan, Pavithra Gowda, and numerous co-accused were arrested and charge-sheeted by Bengaluru police. After receiving temporary and regular bails through lower courts and High Court, the Supreme Court cancelled his bail, ruling that stardom grants no immunity and that he allegedly subverted prison systems.

Darshan Thoogudeepa is currently in judicial custody.

AR Ameen Car Accident: AR Rahman’s Son Safe After Crash

AR Rahman’s son and playback singer AR Ameen narrowly escaped serious harm after his car met with an accident in Chennai early Monday morning. The Ameen accident has shocked fans, but the singer and his friend are safe with only minor injuries.

Accident Details

According to official reports, Ameen was traveling from Koyambedu towards Guindy in his Porsche around 3:30 AM on Monday when the accident occurred. Near the Olympia Tech Park signal at Guindy’s Kathipara flyover, a Wagon R cab collided with his vehicle.

The impact was severe enough to damage both vehicles significantly. However, both Ameen and his friend Bhargav, who was accompanying him, escaped with only minor injuries. The occupant of the Wagon R also sustained injuries in the collision.

Medical Update and Family Response

Following the accident, all injured parties received immediate medical attention. The cab driver was admitted to Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital and was discharged after treatment. Ameen and his friend also received medical care and have since returned home safely.

AR Rahman’s daughter Khatija Rahman shared an update on social media, thanking fans for their concern and confirming that her brother is doing well. The reassuring update brought relief to fans who were worried after news of the Ameen accident spread.

Similar incidents involving celebrities have raised concerns about road safety. Recently, actor Vijay Deverakonda was also involved in a minor car accident while traveling, highlighting the risks of late-night travel.

Police Investigation Underway

The Adyar Traffic Investigation Wing has seized both vehicles involved in the accident and registered a case to investigate the incident thoroughly. Authorities are examining the circumstances that led to the collision at the busy Guindy junction.

Vishwanath & Sons: Venky Atluri Film Lacks Hype

Director Venky Atluri is all set to enthrall audiences with Vishwanath & Sons, starring Suriya as the lead. The film has been made in Tamil and will be released in Tamil and Telugu. With only a few days left for release, the film is still suffering from weak promotions.

Pattern of Low Pre-Release Buzz

Somehow Atluri is failing to create big hype around his films. The same was the case with Lucky Baskhar. Truly, the film deserved much bigger collections than it collected, but the low pre-release hype impacted its box office performance to an extent.

Now, Venky Atluri’s Vishwanath & Sons is facing a similar situation. Despite Suriya being in strong form and Atluri delivering good content after Rang De, the film is still not carrying massive buzz.

Strong Business, Weak Buzz

The team also seems to be not promoting the film as aggressively as expected. Interestingly, Vishwanath & Sons set a ₹45 Cr Tamil Nadu pre-release record, showing strong distributor confidence. Yet, this hasn’t translated into audience hype.

Movies with huge pre-release hype and average talk often deliver bigger numbers than films with low hype despite receiving unanimous positive WOM. Content is undoubtedly the key, but creating strong pre-release hype and awareness is equally crucial for a film’s box office performance.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Indraputra: First Pan India Film Announced

After delivering the blockbuster Chennai Love Story, Kiran Abbavaram is stepping into the pan-India space with his most ambitious project yet. The makers officially announced Indraputra, a grand mythological saga backed by Zee Studios and producer Prerna Arora.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Indraputra marks his first pan-India film and represents the opening chapter of a larger mythological universe. The title reveal came earlier today, generating immediate buzz across social media.

Srikanth Puppala Helms the Mythological Saga

Newcomer Srikanth Puppala will direct Indraputra. Puppala served as the first assistant director on Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1, bringing valuable experience from one of Indian cinema’s most acclaimed recent mythological films.

His association with the Kantara team adds credibility to this ambitious venture, especially given the technical and narrative demands of the mythological genre.

Shooting is scheduled to begin in October 2026, with the film co-produced by Keerthan alongside Zee Studios and Prerna Arora.

Kiran Abbavaram’s Pan-India Ambitions

Kiran Abbavaram has been building momentum with a string of successes. Chennai Love Story recorded his biggest first week ever with a worldwide gross of approximately ₹38 crore, while films like K-Ramp also found box office success.

Indraputra represents a major step up — not just his first pan-India release, but also his entry into the mythological genre, which has delivered blockbusters across multiple languages in recent years.

The announcement that Indraputra is the first chapter of a mythological universe indicates long-term franchise plans, similar to successful cinematic universes in other industries. With Zee Studios’ backing and a director trained under Rishab Shetty, Kiran Abbavaram is positioning himself for a much wider audience beyond Telugu cinema.

The film has also emerged as the biggest worldwide grosser in Kollywood this year, surpassing Karuppu’s worldwide total of ₹320 Cr. Jana Nayagan crossed ₹306 Cr worldwide by day 14, and has grown significantly since then.

What makes this achievement remarkable is the challenges the film faced. With outright bad talk from critics and every possible negative factor working against it, Jana Nayagan still managed respectable numbers in its third weekend. The film didn’t even enjoy a solo run—the previous weekend saw the release of the massive Spider-Man sequel, while this week DC’s latest superhero film opened with stunning reviews and strong word-of-mouth.

Thalapathy’s Final Box Office Victory

For Vijay fans, this milestone carries extra significance as it comes from the superstar’s final theatrical release before his full-time political career. The film’s ability to overcome negative reception and fierce competition demonstrates Vijay’s unshakeable box office pull in Tamil cinema.

The political action thriller continues to post respectable numbers even in its third weekend, proving that star power can sometimes trump critical reception at the box office.
