DC Continues Its Dream Run in Kerala, Set to Claim No.1 Tamil Film of 2026 Tag
Filmmaker turned actor Lokesh Kangaraj’s DC is continuing its impressive theatrical run in Kerala, with the film registering a superb second weekend at the box office. According to early trade estimates, the film grossed approximately ₹4.60 crore during its second weekend in the state, taking its overall Kerala gross tally to around ₹16 crore.
The strong performance during the second weekend is a clear indication of the film’s sustained audience demand. Unlike films that experience a sharp drop after the opening weekend, DC has managed to maintain strong footfalls, with audiences continuing to turn up in significant numbers across Kerala. The second-weekend numbers have further strengthened the film’s position as one of the major Tamil successes of 2026.
The film’s ₹16 crore Kerala gross is particularly notable given the highly competitive theatrical landscape. Suriya enjoys a strong following among Malayalam-speaking audiences, and DC appears to have successfully converted that popularity into consistent box-office revenue.
The film’s word-of-mouth reception and sustained interest have played an important role in keeping the momentum alive beyond its initial release period.With the latest numbers, DC is now on the verge of achieving another major milestone. The film is reportedly set to become the No.1 Tamil film of 2026 in Kerala, with the much-anticipated Jana Nayagan no longer in the race for the top position at the moment.
If the current trend continues, DC is expected to officially claim the coveted tag by tomorrow evening.The achievement would be a significant one for Suriya and the entire team, especially considering the importance of Kerala in the theatrical business of Tamil cinema. The state has consistently delivered strong results for leading Tamil stars, and emerging as the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year there reflects the film’s exceptional reach.
What makes the achievement even more impressive is the film’s ability to sustain its collections well into the second week. A ₹4.60 crore second weekend demonstrates that the movie is not merely surviving but continues to attract audiences despite the arrival of newer releases.With its Kerala gross already touching the ₹16 crore mark, DC has established itself as a major box-office force in the state.
The expected No.1 position would add another prestigious milestone to its theatrical journey and further underline Lokesh’s strong market presence among Kerala audiences.For now, all eyes are on the next 24 hours, as DC looks poised to officially take the No.1 Tamil film of 2026 crown in Kerala.
