DC box office collection day 3: Arun Matheswaran’s DC picked up pace at the box office on Sunday. The Tamil action drama, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, recorded a healthy jump in collections on its third day, giving the film a strong finish to its opening weekend.
According to Sacnilk, DC earned an estimated Rs 9.55 crore net in India on Sunday. The film had collected Rs 7 crore on Saturday, meaning its Day 3 earnings grew by around 36.4%. The film was screened across 4,639 shows in India and recorded an overall occupancy of 40.1%.
With Sunday’s collection added, DC has earned Rs 20.95 crore net in India so far. Its India gross collection currently stands at Rs 24.11 crore.
The film opened with Rs 4.40 crore on Friday before rising to Rs 7 crore on Saturday. Sunday brought another significant jump, taking its three-day India net collection to Rs 20.95 crore.
The Tamil version continued to be the biggest contributor to the film’s earnings. It collected Rs 6.60 crore on Sunday from 2,101 shows, recording an overall occupancy of 58%.
The Telugu version earned Rs 2.30 crore from 1,207 shows, while the Hindi version added Rs 65 lakh from 1,331 shows. The Tamil version recorded its highest occupancy during afternoon shows at 80.38%.

DC also performed well across several Indian markets on Day 3. Tamil Nadu contributed Rs 3.30 crore in gross collections, while Kerala added Rs 2.50 crore.
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana together contributed Rs 2.75 crore, followed by Karnataka with Rs 1.60 crore. The rest of India added another Rs 85 lakh, taking the film’s Day 3 India gross to Rs 11 crore.

One of the biggest talking points around DC has been Lokesh Kanagaraj’s performance as Devadas. The filmmaker is making his debut as a lead actor with the film and has received attention for his screen presence. Wamiqa Gabbi plays Chandra, while Sanjana Krishnamoorthy appears as Parvathy. With its strongest India net collection coming on Sunday, DC has shown steady growth throughout its opening weekend. The film will now look to maintain that momentum as it enters its first week.
