A thrilled Wamiqa <\/a>also shared the news on her Instagram Stories, writing, \u201cThank you.\u201d According to the trade website Sacnilk, DC has collected \u20b961.54 crore net and \u20b970.85 crore gross in India so far. Adding to that the \u20b921.85 crore it collected from overseas, the film has collected \u20b992.70 crore in 14 days, as per the website.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, it is an impressive figure for a film mounted on a medium budget. DC is also one of the highest-grossing Tamil films this year, beaten only by Vijay\u2019s Jana Nayagan, Suriya\u2019s Karuppu, and Vishwanath & Sons<\/a>. It has beaten Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, and Ravi Mohan\u2019s Parasakthi\u2019s \u20b985.10 crore lifetime collection to take the fourth spot. It remains to be seen if the film maintains its momentum as it enters its third week.<\/p>\n

About Arun Matheswaran\u2019s DC<\/strong><\/p>\n

DC <\/a>is Arun Matheswaran\u2019s next film after the 2024 Dhanush-starrer Captain Miller. It is produced by Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Pictures. Lokesh plays a gangster named Devadas, aka Das, in the film. Sanjana plays a bar singer named Parvathy, and Wamiqa plays an exploited sex worker named Chandra. While the film is an action thriller, it also explores the romance between Das, Parvathy and Chandra.<\/p>\n

Anirudh Ravichander\u2019s music for the film hit it out of the park and received widespread acclaim. Instead of the usual adaptations of Devdas, Arun moves the setting from affluent locales to a gang that loots and kills for money. Unlike the original protagonist of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s Bengali classic, his hero has nothing to lose. Despite his rough exterior, Arun\u2019s protagonist veers from the privileged, selfish, chauvinistic and class-conscious character everyone has known for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker Arun Matheswaran\u2019s adaptation of Devdas, DC, was released in theatres on August 7 to a good response…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1014775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[28],"tags":[254959,405999,171,230788,53,67,132,68,54881],"class_list":["post-1014774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-arun-matheswaran","tag-dc-movie-box-office","tag-entertainment","tag-lokesh-kanagaraj","tag-movies","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-wamiqa-gabbi"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117133229376417300","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1014774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1014775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1014774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1014774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1014774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
