DNA

Some say the movie is well-written and executed, and keeps the audience engaged. Others say it's an intriguing thriller with excellent action, and that it's a must-watch. One reviewer praises Ashkar Saudan's performance, while another says Hannah Reji deserves a bigger role. Some say the movie is cheap and looks like it was made by college students, and that it has bad graphics and direction. Others say the plot is a typical serial killer cliche, and that it's not worth telling the story. It's very cheap and looks like a bunch of college students made it for fun. Mollywood was at its peak until the movie came. I still can't believe that someone could make a movie with such bad graphics and direction. The plot was just like the typical serial killer cliche movies.

Serial killer movies won't be successful unless they feature an intriguing plot and a cast of excellent actors. There are various build-ups in the film DNA, such as the greatest story of the century. It was never worth telling this tale. It follows the same formula as previous serial killer films. The performance in this film is its primary component. The main actors are utterly useless in their parts. The supporting cast members performed their parts flawlessly. Retaliation is the film's central theme. The movie's main character must get his revenge. However, the actor's lack of preparation and the ridiculously overdone lines truly made every scene chaotic. Investigative reasons that do not contain clichés are excellent.

DNA, the latest Malayalam movie directed by TS Suresh Babu and written by AK Santhosh, is like watching the return of all the cliched scripting tropes from the dustbin. Starring actor Mammootty's nephew Ashkar Saudan in the lead role, the movie is a colossal disappointment by all means, and the writing that is extremely old school would make the whole experience a tiring one. With an outdated making and a series of forgettable performances, DNA, at best is a roast-worthy comedy.

So Lakshmi Narayanan and Hannah are RJs in a leading radio station in Kochi. The newly joined police commissioner, Rachel Punnose, is given the charge of the investigation of a brutal killing where a young man was murdered in a very heinous way. More murders started to happen in a similar fashion, and since there was a pendrive inside the mouth of each victim, the police coined the term "pendrive killings." How Rachel Punnose cracked the killer is what we see in the movie DNA.

SPOILER ALERT! When the movie shifts to Kochi and we are introduced to our hero Lakshmi Narayan, as an RJ, I immediately felt like asking who hired him as an RJ. The diction and the energy in the performance were so odd and off that he might have been the last one in the shortlisted list of RJ candidates. Well, the hero's casting is not really the most irritating thing about this revenge thriller. The writing is so bad in terms of structuring that AK Santhosh is not even making the slightest effort to create some moments of suspense. We have this Poor man's Batman with clothes bought from Meesho and a terribly designed mask, killing men one after the other. The writing talent of Mr. AK Santhosh is such that he would make you think the movie will obviously not make the hero the vigilante, and later he will reveal that the hero himself is the masked man! I mean, what a thought! That thought never crossed our minds.

During most of the promotion interviews for this movie, every anchor mentioned how Ashkar Saudan looked similar to the Mammootty of the '80s and how the bass in his voice was very impressive. Well, Ashkar has successfully proved that having a great voice and being able to modulate it effectively are entirely different things. In terms of being able to carry the swagger, the man is giving tough competition to Maqbool Salman. Hannah Reji Koshy's character is more like a very evident decoy from the word go. Raai Laxmi as Rachel Punnose is there more for glamour reasons than performance. There is a very minimal improvement in the performance of Padmaraj Ratheesh. Dialogues given to the character played by Riyas Khan were so terrible and hilarious that the Filmyshek guy would scream his lungs out "Content!"

It's very cheap and looks like a bunch of college students made it for fun. Mollywood was at its peak until the movie came. I still can't believe that someone could make a movie with such bad graphics and direction. The plot was just like the typical serial killer cliche movies. This movie ruined the reputation that the Mollywood industry had. The main characters acting was so bad that I almost fell asleep watching him. I thought that since the main lead is related to Mammootty his acting would be really good but this was the biggest dissapointment I ever had watching a film. All the jokes were forced and cringe. Even aadipurush is better than this crap movie. Please don't waste your money on this, literally one of my biggest regrets.
