The Story in Brief
Arun Matheswaran’s Tamil action drama DC has opened in theatres to largely positive early reactions, according to The Times of India and Hindustan Times. The film marks filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj’s lead acting debut, with Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy in important roles.
Viewers praised Kanagaraj’s intense performance, Gabbi’s impact and Anirudh Ravichander’s background score, which several called the film’s backbone. Fans also singled out the interval sequence, police station scene, action blocks and climax. Some reviews called the storytelling slow in places, said the film’s story lacked depth and felt a few hero decisions were convenient. One reaction cited by Deccan Herald rated it 4/5, but the early social media response is not a measure of sustained box-office performance.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest online claims are already calling DC a blockbuster and Anirudh’s work career-best, but these are first-day reactions from enthusiastic viewers, not settled verdicts. The praise for performances and set pieces is useful, while criticism of a thin story and convenient decisions deserves equal attention. The practical test is whether audience ratings and occupancy remain strong after the opening weekend, especially once the initial fan excitement fades.
