DNA OTT Verdict: Box office, Twitter review of Atharvaa Murali, Nimisha Sajayan's Tamil action thriller
Well, Twitter is already flooded with reviews of DNA from audiences who have already watched it on OTT. Here's what they think about the Tamil thriller.
DNA OTT Verdict
A fair share of audiences seemed to be impressed by the film's premise as well as its storyline. The movie keeps viewers hooked to the screen until the last moment.
Not just the narrative, the powerful cast performances have also grabbed much attention as audiences feel everyone gave their best.
Despite being commercially successful, DNA does not, as per many netizens, offer a commercialized, half-baked plot through and through.
However, there have also been certain flaws pointed out by viewers. The second half of the film felt 'lagging' and 'lethargic', with the climax arriving later than usual.
As a result, it makes it overly stretchy towards the end, with many not liking the screenplay.
On the other hand, there has been appreciation of the emotional depth of the movie and its bold take on the theme.
For the unversed, the film is written and directed by Nelson Venkatesan and is produced jointly by Jayanthi Ambethkumar and S Ambethkumar under the banner of Red Giant Movies.
Besides Atharvaa and Nimisha as the lead, the film also stars Chetan, Ramesh Thilak, Balaji Sakthivel, Viji Chandrasekhar, Bose Venkat, and others.

Angel Hulk Hogan and other MAGA celebs giving AI blessings to Gavin Newsom is the worst fever dream for Donald Trump
Gavin Newsom AI Image (Image via X) Gavin Newsom has thrown caution to the wind and posted an AI image of himself being blessed by MAGA celebs like Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and the late WWE wrestling legend- Hulk Hogan . Of course, this has the Republican base rattled, but Newsom is hardly phased, and is enjoying getting under his opponents' skin. The 57-year-old Governor of California has been a Democratic Party member since the 90s and often criticizes Donald Trump and MAGA. Gavin Newsom's AI stunt ft. Hulk Hogan trolling Donald Trump has social media in splits Gavin Newsom posted an AI picture of himself getting blessed by Donald Trump's celeb squad - Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and the late Hulk Hogan . On top of that, Hulk is seen with a halo on his head and angel wings to go along with the whole image, probably due to his late status. He then used the caption of "so nice," to describe the picture, and of course, social media is all over it. The AI-generated image was in line with a few images Trump himself sometimes posts- Trump being blessed by other deceased celebrities, Trump as the Pope, and one where Jesus himself is seen blessing the POTUS. All these AI-generated images even get posted from the official White House account on X (formerly Twitter), and Newsom is seemingly just keeping the trend going. Republican Party members are not having it with Gavin Newsom's latest stunt The Republican Party is not taking too kindly to Gavin Newsom's latest stunt.

‘Class and decency aren't his strengths,' ‘Always resort to personal attacks': Kaneria slams Pakistan teammate Afridi, backs Irfan Pathan
Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has voiced his support for ex-India cricketer Irfan Pathan when he opened up on his heated exchange with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. The all-rounder from Baroda divulged that Afridi often tried to provoke him with sharp remarks and personal comments while highlighting some of the intense moments they shared both on and off the field. Coming in Irfan's support is Afridi's teammate in the Pakistan cricket team, Kaneria, who said Afridi has always resorted to 'personal attacks' and that 'class and decency are not his strengths'. 'Irfan bhai, you're absolutely right. He always resorts to personal attacks, be it on someone's family or their religion. Class and decency clearly aren't his strengths,' Kaneria posted on X, formerly Twitter. Earlier, Pathan narrated an incident from the 2006 Pakistan tour, when both the Indian and Pakistani teams were flying together from Karachi to Lahore. 'During the 2006 tour, we were flying from Karachi to Lahore. Both teams were travelling together. Afridi came and put his hand on my head and messed up my hair. He asked me, 'How are you kid?'' Pathan recalled during the interview with Lallantop. 'I thought since when did you become my father. He behaved like a child. I was neither talking to him nor saying anything. After this Afridi said some bad things to me. His seat was near mine.' Irfan explained how he responded, which silenced Afridi for the rest of the flight. 'Pakistan allrounder Abdul Razzaq was sitting with me then. I asked him what kind of meat is available here. He told me meat of different animals are available. After this I asked whether dog meat is available. Razzaq was surprised to hear me and said, 'Hey Irfan why are you saying this?' To this, Pathan replied: ''He (Afridi) has eaten dog meat, he has been barking for so long'. 'After this Afridi could not say anything. If he said anything I would have said look he is barking more,' recalled Pathan with a chuckle.

Coolie Day 5 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth's crime-drama falters on 1st Monday after record extended Kollywood opening weekend
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, had a record Kollywood opening weekend of Rs 227.25 crore. Not just that, it also took a record Kollywood global opening of Rs 375 crore. While the weekend was record-breaking, the numbers were slightly under expectations, given how big the movie opened. Based on the opening day, the weekend numbers should have been close to Rs 250 crore in India and over Rs 400 crore worldwide. Coolie Falters On 1st Monday By Grossing Just Rs 12 Crore The mixed word of mouth took a toll on the Lokesh Kanagaraj movie. After the already slumping weekend trend, the movie grossed just Rs 12 crore on day 6. The numbers are 80 percent down from Independence Day Friday and that's alarming. If the movie continues to drop like this, a Rs 300 crore gross India final can be a struggle. Also, that would mean that a Rs 500 crore gross worldwide finish would become impossible, as the highest that Coolie can do at the international box office based on its current trend is USD 21 million (Rs 183 crore gross). The collections in Tamil Nadu will likely end under that of Good Bad Ugly. The collections in Kerala shall end up being half of what Jailer did in 2023. The film's exceptional Karnataka and APTS collections over the opening weekend should ensure that the film breaks even or atleast comes very close to it. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections Thursday Rs 75.50 crore Friday Rs 63.25 crore Saturday Rs 47 crore Sunday Rs 41.50 crore Monday Rs 12 crore Total Rs 239.25 crore gross in 5 days Coolie Will End Up As One Of The Top 5 Highest Grossing Kollywood Movies Worldwide But The Final Result Will Be Seen As Underwhelming Coolie, despite putting up record-breaking initial collections and being a film that will surely be a part of the top 5 highest grossing Tamil movies at the worldwide box office, will be seen as an underwhelmer because the expectations were of a record grosser. The Tamil industry will have to wait for Jailer 2 or Jana Nayagan to really see its potential unleashed again.
