Arun Matheswaran’s ‘DC’ is a treasure trove of surface-level genre pleasures
Lokesh Kanagaraj plays a low-level criminal named Devadas. Wamiqa Gabbi plays a sex worker named Chandra. They are both sad, troubled souls who are meant for each other. But a determined cop is on their tail, and what follows is a series of bloody and beautiful action set pieces.
What the film lacks in emotional heft, it more than makes up for with filmmaking craft, which is fantastic. Oh, and Anirudh totally reinvents himself.
21 years. 3 identities. 1 absolute Masterpiece . #Anniyan 🤩🔥
21 years ago today, dir @shankarshanmugh gave us a brilliant psychological thriller, but @Chiyaan turned it into an immortal classic. ❤️🔥
To pull off a triple role with such distinct body language, voice modulation, and screen presence is a feat few actors can dream of. Whether it was making us root for the helpless Ambi, swoon over Remo, or freeze in fear at #Anniyan’s rage, #ChiyaanVikram didn’t just play the characters he lived them. 👌🏻
Mass, class, and absolute acting perfection.
All thanks to the man who gave his absolute soul to this triple role. There will never be another like him. @CHIYAAN 👑🔥
