Cinema VinesLokesh Kanagaraj, who has earned a reputation as a hitmaker behind the camera, has taken the leap into acting with his Tamil‑language romantic action thriller “DC.” The film, released on Friday, August 7, premiered amid high anticipation and robust pre‑release buzz, marking Kanagaraj’s much‑talked‑about debut as an actor.
Directed by Arun Matheswaran and produced by Sun Pictures, “DC” features Wamiqa Gabbi in the leading female role. The story follows gangster Devadas on a revenge mission that entangles him with two wronged women, creating a volatile alliance that tests loyalty and survival. Music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
According to a report from Bollymoviereviewz.com, the film was made on an estimated budget of nearly ₹40 crore. Early box‑office numbers, sourced from Sacnilk, show that by 6:00 PM on its opening day the movie had earned approximately ₹1.29 crore net, with a gross of about ₹1.52 crore across India.
Occupancy figures for the day were 32.62% in morning shows and 43.00% in afternoon shows. While “DC” opened to mostly positive reviews from fans and critics, it is currently trailing behind “Gatta Kusthi 2” in the box‑office race. “DC” has earned less than half of the ₹2.70 crore net collected by “Gatta Kusthi 2,” the Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi starrer, on its first day.
