DC Budget

There is currently no official confirmation regarding the exact budget of DC. However, according to a report by KoiMoi, the film was reportedly made on a budget of around Rs 25 crore.

If the reported budget is accurate, the opening-day numbers give the film a reasonable starting point, although it will require steady growth over the weekend and strong collections during the coming days to move closer to recovering its investment.

With Rs 5.70 crore worldwide gross on Day 1, DC has made a promising start. The film’s performance over Saturday and Sunday will be crucial in determining whether it can maintain momentum and turn its opening into a strong theatrical run.
