DC review: Lokesh Kanagaraj-starrer rich drama falls short
DC is a Tamil movie from India.
It tells the story of a man named Devadas and a woman named Chandra.
They live in a world that is not clearly good or bad — it is grey.
Both have been let down by the people and systems that were supposed to protect them.
So they decide that the only way to protect each other is through violence.
The movie looks very artistic, using red and blue colours to show how the characters feel.
Reviewers praised the acting, the music, and the beautiful camera work.
But they said the story loses its way in the second half, with violence that does not change anything.
In the end, the characters stay stuck in the same grey world.
The film got a rating of three stars.
Arun Matheswaran directs DC, a Tamil vigilante drama starring Lokesh Kanagaraj as Devadas and Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra.
Wamiqa Gabbi makes her Tamil debut, while Anirudh Ravichander composes an ambitious 15-track score.
The first half is praised for Mukesh G's moody cinematography and red-and-blue colour storytelling.
The review says the second half loses its way as violence escalates without raising the stakes.
Sanjana Krishnamoorthy's character Parvathy is described as a wasted role, and the film earned a 3-star rating.
