Box Office Update: ‘Vishwanath and Sons’ Maintains Strong Momentum, ‘DC’ Nears Major Milestone
As the cinematic battle at the box office continues, two prominent films are carving out distinct paths. While the family drama Vishwanath and Sons remains a steady performer in its second week, the action-packed DC is steadily closing in on a significant global milestone.
‘Vishwanath and Sons’ Stays Resilient
Directed by Venky Atluri, Vishwanath and Sons has firmly established its presence in theaters. Starring Suriya and Mamitha Baiju, the film successfully navigated its second Monday, earning an additional ₹2.05 crore domestically. According to data from Sacnilk, this figure represents a 71.9% dip from its Sunday collection, which is a standard trend for films entering their second week.
The film’s performance is balanced across languages; the Tamil version contributed ₹1.15 crore, while the Telugu version added ₹90 lakh to the daily total. With a strong ensemble cast including Radikaa Sarathkumar, Raveena Tandon, and Nassar, the movie has now reached a total India net collection of ₹102.70 crore. Internationally, the film continues to draw audiences, boasting an overseas gross of ₹59 crore, pushing its total worldwide gross to an impressive ₹177.80 crore.
‘DC’ Eyes the Rs 100 Crore Mark
Meanwhile, the film DC—which marks the much-anticipated acting debut of acclaimed director Lokesh Kanagaraj—is witnessing a gradual decline as it enters its third week. On its 18th day, the film recorded earnings of ₹48 lakh. Despite the dip, the film’s total domestic net collection now stands at ₹66.18 crore.
The project, directed by Arun Matheswaran, offers a modern, action-heavy reimagining of the classic Devadas narrative. Its total worldwide gross currently sits at ₹99.37 crore, placing it on the verge of joining the prestigious ₹100 crore club. Fans and industry analysts are closely watching the film to see when it will officially cross this nine-figure global benchmark.
