Lokesh Kanagaraj’s DC is now streaming on SunNxt after making headlines with its theatrical run. Directed by Arun Matheswaran and co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi, the film is a mass-action thriller that features intense graphic violence but also has strong substance beneath the brutality. We see Lokesh in the role of ‘Devdas’, a gangster who believes violence is a means of delivering justice.
However, the film gradually explores why he entered a life of crime despite his father’s opposition and emphasis on education, saving the key details for the climax. Nonetheless, was the wait worth it? Let’s find out.
Who is ‘Devdas’ and why did he join the crime world?
In the opening scenes of the film, Lokesh Kanagaraj describes his gang as rowdies, gangsters, and extremists. However, these are the labels the cops gave the gang while chasing them. While we don’t know ‘Devdas’s’ backstory or why he ended up in the crime world, the film is built in a way that we still end up rooting for him.
