DC story (no spoilers)
DC follows Das, a man driven by the need to avenge his mother's murder. His pursuit of justice pulls him into a fight against police corruption, and after a deadly heist he becomes a fugitive. The trail he leaves is one of bloodshed and loss, but along the way he frees Chandra from a life of exploitation. Chandra gives Das a reason to imagine a life beyond violence, even as his past keeps closing in. The film is a Tamil romance-action-drama directed by Arun Matheswaran, running 142 minutes, with Lokesh Kanagaraj as Devadas and Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra. It carries an A certificate in India. The tone moves between the hard edges of a man on the run and the quieter pull of a relationship that asks whether he can stop running.

Our verdict
DC pairs a revenge-driven fugitive story with the relationship that gives Das a reason to want something beyond violence. Arun Matheswaran directs Lokesh Kanagaraj as Devadas and Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra in a 142-minute Tamil romance-action-drama. The A certificate and the trail of bloodshed and loss in the story make it one to approach with that in mind.
