DNA

A family drama! A man addicted to alcohol post breakup chooses to get married to a girl with borderline disorder personality n then their just born child is exchanged in hospital n rest of the movie is about how the father finds the lost child in 21 days. Execution looks a bit unrealistic but a decent family drama though. An average one time watch. Originally a Tamil movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi as well. Available in JioHotstar, my ratings 6/10!

Such a excellent movie plot. Atharva did a pretty excellent job in acting along with Nimisha was a perfect combo. In search of new born baby, Balaji Sakthivel handling this case was interesting to see. Lots of truth revealed in the process how kids have been misused in reality. The movie went on a very good pace and gave the audience thrilling experience. I felt refreshing while watching this movie in the process of how truth is getting unfolded in search of new born baby.

Action scenes were really awesome. Nimisha facial expressions and coupled with acting was top notch. Generally movies end in a cinematic way and this movie also ended in the same way.

Overall an interesting, thrilling experience for the audience.

A great story and a good screenplay. Everyone's acting is very good. The acting is good. The character of the old lady in this is very good. The plot starts with an idea. The love struggle of a mother and father. The film is wonderfully made to captivate us till the end except for a few places. A good family film. Everyone can watch this with their family.

Hook: Nelson Venkatesan's DNA is a tightly wound crime thriller that balances emotional intimacy with a tense search for truth, rooted in the unsettling possibility that the child you just held might not be yours.

What Worked: The narrative premise is gripping and fresh-when his wife, Divya, insists their newborn has been swapped, her husband Anand takes her fears seriously and embarks on a high-stakes mission to uncover the truth .Atharvaa shines as Anand-a former addict transformed into a desperate father driven by love and guilt . Nimisha Sajayan brings depth to Divya, portraying her emotional struggles with authenticity, even as the writing holds her back at times . The investigative framework strikes a strong chord, especially as Anand teams up with a retiring cop to untangle a disturbing web of hospital fraud and baby-swapping schemes .

What Didn't Work: The film has a few musical interludes-like unnecessary songs and a bar introduction-that may disrupt the pacing of an otherwise taut thriller .

While the emotional arc remains central, some critics point to clichéd elements and a melodramatic climax that feel at odds with the film's investigative core .

Overall Takeaway: If you're drawn to thrillers that don't shy away from emotional depth, DNA offers a compelling blend of intense drama and suspense. It's driven by strong performances, especially by Atharvaa, and a screenplay that doesn't let up until its unsettling conclusion.

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.
