This 2025 thriller film, released on OTT within 24 hours after its release in theaters, has IMDb rating of 7.8, movie is..., lead actors are...
The name of the film we are talking about is 'DNA', which has become a topic of discussion due to its unexpected digital release. Atharvaa Murali and Nimisha Sajayan play the lead roles in this Tamil thriller film. Helmed by Nelson Venkatesan, the film was released in Tamil Nadu on June 20, 2025. The same film was released in Telugu as My Baby on July 18, 2025, under SK Pictures. What Is The Storyline Of DNA?
The story revolves around Anan, who is devastated by the death of his girlfriend and turns to alcohol. On the other hand, Divya suffers from borderline personality disorder and is unable to take things for granted and struggles to find a suitable life partner for marriage.
The film also stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Balaji Sakthivel, Ramesh Tilak, Viji Chandrasekhar, Chethan, Riyatvika, Subramaniam Siva and Karunakaran in important roles. It is bankrolled by Jayanti Ambedkumar and S. Ambedkumar under Olympia Movies. On Which Platform Is DNA Streaming?
However, within 24 hours of its Telugu release, DNA was also released on Jio Hotstar the very next day, i.e., on July 19, 2025. The movie has hit the OTT platform in languages including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. It has been seen many times that a film is released on OTT immediately after hitting the theatres. This decision of the makers has surprised the film industry as it can have a direct impact on the box office earnings of the Telugu version.
Due to the very short time gap between the theatre release and OTT release, most of the audience may choose the digital version. It is an emotional and thriller film based on the life of Anand and Divya. The film has a rating of 7.8 out of 10 on IMDb.

Divya Deshmukh credits late coach, family after stunning win over Humpy
NAGPUR: Grandmaster Divya Deshmukh arrived here on Wednesday to a reception befitting a champion, with the young achiever saying she was overwhelmed by the affection shown by the people who had come to greet her at the airport. Divya, 19, arrived from Batumi, Georgia, where she defeated Indian stalwart Koneru Humpy in the Women's World Cup title showdown to clinch the biggest title in her fledgling career. Divya overcame the 38-year-old Humpy in the tie-breaker after two classical games ended in draws. Divya had entered the tournament as an underdog aiming to achieve a GM norm but returned home with the Grandmaster title, besides securing a spot in the Candidates and becoming richer by USD 50,000. "I am feeling very happy that so many people have come to felicitate me, and chess is getting the recognition," said Divya, who flew from Batumi to Mumbai and then took a flight to her hometown Nagpur, accompanied by her mother.

All Hail The Queen! Divya Gets A Royal Homecoming
Nagpur: Orange City erupted with scenes of jubilation and pride on Wednesday night as its chess queen Divya Deshmukh returned home after scripting history at the FIDE Women's Chess World Cup in Batumi, Georgia. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 19-year-old Divya, who went to Batumi as an International Master (IM), came home as a Grandmaster — the third from the city after Raunak Sadhwani and Sankalp Gupta. In the final, Divya defeated India No.1 Koneru Humpy to win the World Cup and also secure a spot in the Candidates tournament. With a hat-trick of achievements in just 27 days, Divya made every Nagpurian feel proud and was deservingly accorded a rousing welcome at Nagpur International Airport on Wednesday night. Hundreds of school students, her classmates, friends, relatives, sports administrators, and fans gathered at the airport long before the arrival of her flight. Many held banners and placards bearing her name and achievements, while others played dhols and drums, ready to welcome the champion with unmatched enthusiasm. As Divya stepped out of the arrival gate, chants of 'Divya, Divya', and 'Nagpur ki shaan' filled the air. She was immediately surrounded by her fans, who showered her with rose petals and draped her in garlands. The young champion, who couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear at the love showered on her, appeared visibly moved by the thunderous welcome. Humbled by the love and admiration pouring in from every corner of the city, Divya thanked her city and her parents, who stood by her at all times, inspiring her to give it her all and never back down. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Massive banners with her image and congratulatory messages adorned the airport premises. Chants of 'Jai Hind!' rang out as her supporters marched alongside her. She was flanked by her proud family and several dignitaries, including MLC Parinay Fuke, who is also president of Maharashtra Chess Association, former mayor Dayashankar Tiwari, former MP Ajay Sancheti, former MLC Girish Vyas, and district sports officer Pallavi Dhatrak. As Divya met relatives near the exit gate, many embraced her with teary eyes, celebrating both the victory and the pride she brought to Nagpur. Divya's journey — from playing chess in small local competitions to becoming a World Cup winner — has now become an inspiration for thousands of young minds across the country. Her win not only marks a personal triumph but has firmly placed Nagpur on the global chess map. The state govt has announced a grand felicitation for the champion at the Suresh Bhat Hall on August 2, where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union minister Nitin Gadkari, and other bigwigs of the state are expected.
