It's not every day that a filmmaker known for delivering blockbusters decides to step in front of the camera. With DC, Lokesh Kanagaraj takes that leap. The film, also starring Wamiqa Gabbi, has hit the screens today, and the internet can't stop talking about it.
For the unversed, Lokesh Kanagaraj is known for directing films such as Aviyal, Maanagaram, Kaithi, Vijay's Master, Leo, Kamal Haasan's Vikram, and Rajinikanth's Coolie.

A fourth user, who found DC "weak", penned: "#DC #DCmovie is very avg. #LokeshKanagaraj struggles to emote and does poor acting. #WamiqGabbi is really good. Story and screenplay is outdated and boring. Some of the action scenes are well done. Too much violence and gore. #Anirudh is on fire. Weak writing. MID! 2.25/5."

What is the story of Lokesh Kanagaraj's DC?
Directed by Arun Matheswaran, DC is not just another gangster drama. It is equally invested in telling a love story. The film follows Devadas, a man with a troubled past who is constantly looking over his shoulder. Then comes Chandra, played by Wamiqa Gabbi, and their lives change in ways neither of them expects.
Anirudh Ravichander's background score deserves a special mention. It quietly lifts the emotional scenes and then explodes when the action kicks in. It is one of those scores that stays with you even after the film ends.
