DNA Tamil Movie
June 20 2025 (India)
Director: Nelson Venkatesan
DNA is a Tamil investigative thriller that shows promise but ultimately delivers a mixed experience. Centered around a gripping premise and led by solid performances from Atharvaa and Nimisha Sajayan, the film sets out to blend emotional depth with crime drama. While its core idea is compelling, the execution lacks cohesion. The narrative is marred by uneven pacing, occasional detours, and a reliance on familiar commercial tropes that dilute its impact. Despite moments of emotional intensity and visual grit, the film struggles to balance its thriller aspects with the director’s trademark relationship-driven storytelling. The result is a film that feels ambitious but unfocused — engaging in parts but unable to fully capitalize on its potential.
Verdict:
DNA is a watchable thriller with scattered strengths but falls short of delivering a consistently gripping experience.
