The ending stays with you, a twist so unexpected that it reframes everything you thought you'd seen. Which film is this? Here we are talking about DNA, a 2025 Tamil-language investigative drama‑thriller directed by Nelson Venkatesan. The story centers on a couple who believe their newborn child has been swapped shortly after birth. As the wife grows increasingly certain something is wrong, the husband starts pursuing the truth, search that becomes the spine of the film, revealing a grim conspiracy far larger than a mere hospital error. What is the storyline? The central conflict plays out with Atharvaa Murali as Anand, man haunted by his past, and Nimisha Sajayan as Divya, a woman living with borderline personality disorder who insists her child isn't theirs. Their marriage and the emotional rabbit hole they fall into add weight to the mystery unfolding around them. Supportive performances by Ramesh Thilak, Balaji Sakthivel, Viji Chandrasekar, Chetan, Riythvika KP, and others bring dimension to the investigation. How was the reception of DNA?

Critics gave it between 3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars, noting that although it faced some clichés and unnecessary detours (like fabricated songs or melodramatic moments), it remained gripping enough to sit through its length without losing momentum.

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.

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.
