Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut, DC, directed by Arun Matheswaran, has achieved a notable milestone, emerging as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films in Kerala in 2026. The action entertainer has maintained growth in the state and has now moved ahead of Vijay’s Jana Nayagan in Kerala collections. The achievement is noteworthy given the contrasting release timelines of the two films. While Jana Nayagan benefited from Thalapathy Vijay’s immense popularity in Kerala, DC has steadily built its audience through positive word of mouth and appreciation for its performances, direction and technical aspects.
