Lokesh Kanagaraj has an undeniable talent for making you fond of on-screen gangsters. He could do it as a director. He pulls it off again in his acting debut.

A crafty paean to cinematic violence, ‘DC,’ starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, is slick with some superbly staged action set pieces, but its emotional undercurrents rarely live up to Anirudh’s spectacular scores

DC isn't perfect. It sometimes mistakes ambition for balance. But when it locks into its rhythm, it's stylish, gripping and visually unforgettable.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
