DC, director Lokesh Kanagaraj's acting debut under Arun Matheswaran's direction, has had a strong opening weekend at the box office. After opening to Rs 4.40 crore on Day 1 and rising to Rs 7 crore on Day 2, the film recorded a significant jump on its first Sunday, collecting close to Rs 10 crore. The worldwide gross stands at over Rs 31 crore after three days, driven by positive word of mouth and strong reception for Anirudh's musical score.

The film follows Devadas, an outcast who fights to protect an innocent family targeted by police brutality while evading a ruthless officer — a journey that leads to justice, redemption and unlikely bonds. Besides Lokesh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy play the female leads, with Aadukalam Naren, Thalaivasal Vijay and Kasthuri Raja in key supporting roles. The film is presented by Sun Pictures.
