Lokesh Kanagaraj’s latest project, DC, is making headlines as it approaches the ₹100 crore mark at the global box office. Known for his successful run in South Indian cinema, Kanagaraj’s involvement has drawn significant attention, but it is director Arun Matheswaran who helms this action-packed film. The movie features Wamiqa Gabbi in the lead role, with music composed by Anirudh, adding to its appeal among fans.
Despite facing stiff competition from the newly released Vishwanath And Sons, DC has managed to maintain strong occupancy rates, especially during weekdays. According to recent box office reports, the film experienced a notable surge in audience turnout, particularly on Thursday, which has been attributed to positive word of mouth. The Telugu and Kerala markets have been outperforming expectations, contributing significantly to the film’s impressive earnings.
As of now, DC has collected around ₹70 crore worldwide. Industry sources note that the film’s gripping content and high-octane action sequences have played a major role in sustaining its momentum. Before its release, few anticipated such a robust performance, but DC has defied those expectations with its continued box office strength.
With its current trajectory, DC is firmly on course to reach the coveted ₹100 crore milestone, marking a standout achievement for the team behind the film.
