DC has collected Rs 16.40 crore net in India over its opening three days at the box office.

The film took in Rs 4.40 crore net on its first day, Rs 7 crore on Saturday and Rs 5 crore on Sunday.

DC marks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s debut as a lead actor, playing Devadas opposite Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy.

The film is directed by Arun Matheswaran and is loosely adapted from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s 1917 novel Devdas, recast as a Tamil-language romantic action thriller with a darker, contemporary setting.

DC is produced by Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Pictures and released in theatres on August 7 in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions.

The film’s steady weekend performance, following a strong opening, points to continued momentum in the days ahead.

The story follows Devadas and his companions as they work to protect an innocent family from police brutality while confronting a ruthless cop, blending action, crime and romance in a darker, contemporary setting.

Lokesh Kanagaraj is widely known as the director behind the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, a series of interconnected Tamil action films, making DC his first major outing in front of the camera as a lead performer.

Trade analysts are watching the film’s weekday performance closely, since a steady hold through the first working week typically determines whether a theatrical release can sustain a longer box office run.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s India total topped the Rs 150 crore net mark on Day 3, with collections rising 35.3% over the previous day to Rs 66.75 crore, trade tracker Sacnilk reported on Sunday, August 2, 2026.

The film’s three-day net collection in India has reached Rs 176.70 crore, with the gross total at Rs 211.27 crore.

The film played across 17,703 shows on Saturday, with overall occupancy of 69.67%, rising to 76.67% for night shows and 75.56% for evening shows.

The English version brought in Rs 38.35 crore of the day’s collection, while the Hindi version added Rs 21.75 crore, showing continued demand across both versions.

A day-on-day rise on the first Saturday is uncommon for major releases, which typically see a dip after opening day before a weekend recovery.

Trade watchers are now watching Sunday’s collections closely, seen as the clearest early indicator of the film’s run through its first fortnight in India.

The film released in India a day ahead of its global rollout, opening across English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam versions to capture audiences across the country’s major language markets.

Multiplex chains in metro cities including Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru reported strong evening and night show attendance through the opening weekend, according to trade reports tracking the release.

The film’s English version continued to lead collections on Day 3 with Rs 38.35 crore, while the Hindi version added Rs 21.75 crore, reflecting strong multiplex demand across both language versions.

A day-on-day increase on the first Saturday is relatively uncommon for major releases, since most films see collections plateau or dip slightly after the opening-day surge before a typical weekend rebound.

The film also stars Zendaya and Sadie Sink reprising their roles alongside Tom Holland, with the returning cast continuing to be a key draw through the opening weekend.

The Odyssey has become Christopher Nolan’s biggest India box office hit, crossing Rs 138 crore net and surpassing the record previously held by Oppenheimer, trade data showed on Friday, July 31, 2026.

According to Sacnilk, the film collected around Rs 3 crore on its 15th day, taking its total India net collection to about Rs 138.40 crore since releasing on July 17.

Oppenheimer’s full India theatrical run had earned Rs 129 crore net, a tally that had made it the 13th Hollywood film to cross the Rs 100 crore net mark domestically.

The new record arrived close to Nolan’s July 30 birthday, a coincidence that has added to the milestone’s buzz among trade watchers.

The ensemble cast of The Odyssey includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.

Trade reports note that despite the higher revenue tally, Oppenheimer had recorded more overall footfalls in India, a gap linked to differing ticket prices and premium-format demand across the two releases.

The Odyssey opened strongly in its first week, collecting around Rs 85.50 crore net in its opening seven days before settling into a steadier run through its second and third weeks.

Shot largely on IMAX cameras, the film continues Nolan’s long association with the large-format technology, a factor trade analysts say has historically boosted his films’ premium-format revenue share in India.

The Odyssey stars an ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron, and released in Indian cinemas on July 17, 2026.

Oppenheimer had become just the 13th Hollywood film to cross Rs 100 crore net in India during its theatrical run, with IMAX screens contributing close to 40% of its business in its second week.

Despite The Odyssey’s higher total revenue, trade reports note that Oppenheimer recorded higher overall footfalls during its run, reflecting differences in average ticket pricing and premium-format viewership between the two films.
