DNA

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil Media Partner: JioHotstar

Overall, this is very good movie with good awareness/social message. The cast and acting were very good, and it is the core strength of the movie.

The climax in temple was handled very well. It was highly connected with the family sentiment and worked very well. Because of the this climax, people shall left theatre with the high satisfaction.

And now the bothering things: Movie starts with very cliche drunken song for hero opening and alliance approach for heroine. It has lots and lots of heroic fights and on top of that one kuthu song also.

Adjust these masala mediocre items, you shall enjoy this movie.

First of all both the male leads nailed in their acting. Atharva I did not expect so much from him but he surprised me with his acting and fight scenes. I hated parents character too much. I love crime thriller so I tried this and I don't regret one bit. The second half made me sit on the edge of the seat.

DNA explores the haunting plight of a woman in labor, dismissed as mentally unstable by her own family. After delivering her baby, she catches a glimpse of the child before passing out, only to wake up and insist that the baby handed to her is not hers. Is it postpartum depression, her fragile mental state, or something far more unsettling?

Nimisha Sajayan, as always, delivers a performance far beyond excellence, anchoring the film with raw intensity and quiet strength. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast often feels miscast and out of sync with the film's emotional gravity. The plot itself is compelling and thought provoking, but the narrative could have been tighter and more layered to fully do justice to its premise.

Heard good reviews about this movie and watched it 🤗.if u ask movie how was the movie I would say it was good 😁. When I was watching the movie first 45 minutes was somewhat laggy😭 it's bcuz it takes time to build the story and characters and when the crime happen ofc its a thriller the film started to uplift😘 .it was a decent thriller😍 .I have already saw the same story line before but still it was kind of good to watch.if u ask me about the acting athravaa the hero and Balaji saravanan who acted as police constable felt impressive. But the film was not that impressive its good that's all like it's just decent tamil thriller nothing that exciting😔....so I would rate 5 out of 10 stars for the movie🤗

At its core, DNA is about a baby kidnapping, and while the premise sounds straightforward, the way it's handled is anything but typical. The film really leans into the emotional chaos and trauma that follows such an incident. It's intense, raw, and painfully close to reality in a way that stays with you.

Atharva carries most of the screen time, and he does a solid job. But for me, it was Nimisha who stole the show - despite limited scenes, she had me completely glued, always wondering what she'd do next.

The casting overall was excellent - especially the elderly woman and the retiring police officer, both of whom added authenticity and heart to the story.

If I had to nitpick, the first 20 minutes could've been tighter, and the love-failure song felt totally unnecessary. Also, the sudden closeness between the leads in marriage lacked backstory, which made it a bit hard to emotionally connect to their bond.

Still, these are small flaws in what's otherwise a gripping, emotional thriller. It highlights the darkness of the world we live in, while also showing the resilience, love, and courage that help people push through.
