DNA OTT Verdict

A fair share of audiences seemed to be impressed by the film’s premise as well as its storyline. The movie keeps viewers hooked to the screen until the last moment.

Not just the narrative, the powerful cast performances have also grabbed much attention as audiences feel everyone gave their best. 

Despite being commercially successful, DNA does not, as per many netizens, offer a commercialized, half-baked plot through and through.

However, there have also been certain flaws pointed out by viewers. The second half of the film felt ‘lagging’ and ‘lethargic’, with the climax arriving later than usual.

As a result, it makes it overly stretchy towards the end, with many not liking the screenplay.

On the other hand, there has been appreciation of the emotional depth of the movie and its bold take on the theme.
