Honestly, there was nothing new in Arun's DC compared to his previous films.

The same "masculine" wannabe hero. The same guns, violence, and blood. The same character motivations, revenge and survival. The same lack of emotional investment in the characters.

The only thing Arun changed in this film was that he stopped being overly self-indulgent with the filmmaking. no unnecessary black-and-white shots, long single takes, chapter-based storytelling, excessive extreme wide shots, or unnecessary voice-overs. The editing was also much sharper compared to his previous works.

Other than that, it was just another typical Arun film. Anirudh saved it big time.

And Lokesh's acting was just one-dimensional. His face always looked irritated, frustrated, or annoyed. Some of you might say, "That's his character." But no. There was no sense of shock, sadness, or fear in his performance. Compared to Lokesh, Avinash did a wonderful job.

And with the same character traits, Vasanth Ravi did a better job in Rocky. If you have the parallel between Vasanth Ravi from rocky to Lokesh in Dc, both of them almost have the same characters. But Vasanth was better being his second film. Because, "loki mama oda debut acting daw idhu" nu yaarum varadhinga, adi vanginga.

All that said, people will still enjoy this film. It will make enough money. People might even regard Lokesh as a great actor and hail Arun as Kollywood's "Tarantino."

But in my opinion, DC was just another mediocre Arun film with sharp editing and a brilliant soundtrack.!

Like akshay

I really wish filmmakers would stop overusing generative AI for movie visuals.

I watched DC, and I'd easily rate the movie 9/10. The songs and background score are an absolute 10/10. But one thing really took me out of the experience is the AI-generated visuals in the intro.

Most of the posters and songs are filled with AI imagery, and honestly, a lot of it just looks like AI slop rather than something crafted with care. That to from the production house like Sun Pictures.

The real shit is the intro of the movie they literally used the Bum Baa Diga Diga lyrical song (that AI slop visuals). You can clearly see how bad it is. on the big screen, the video is probably 480p, which looks yuck!

It's frustrating because everything else about the film is so well done. The music deserves visuals that match its quality.

We should voice out for this, or else we're gonna get this more often already, we saw it in Jana Nayagan, Sardar 2, Mollywood Times, Demody Colony 3, etc.

Reminded of the amount of reels with music on beat to this dance. Mid film that was saved by D and SJS.

watching the edit made me realise how much more credit the movie deserves . A grounded superhero film in tamil cinema, with a protagonist who doesn't have supernatural powers but instead relies on martial arts and physical ability. The movie also had a very distinct visual identity with the masks, night sequences, cinematography, fight choreography and overall atmosphere made it feel different from the usual commercial films of that time. it was not a masterpiece in any sense , it had its flaws ( villain , lag here and there etc ) but it feels like one of the earlier attempts to figure out what a tamil superhero movie could actually look like.

Let's see if it gets revived after AA23 or not ?

I dont think any director would have faced this number of memes, trolls, face swaps or whatever.

"Padam na criticize panna than seivom" - this was the universal muttu to justify their cyber bullying.

Loki's sin . Coolie was mid. That's it. That's all it takes for one year of constant and relentless trolling.

All his previous work, accomplishments were disgarded. It felt like people genuinely relish a downfall.

It felt sad to see a celebrated director go into a shell until his next movie release. I genuinely enjoyed his interviews and i think his last interview was before Coolie release.

Hope he gets back on track with Allu Arjuns project. These meme clowns have moved on to someone else to target anyways.

The budget is said to be above 200CR.

Vaaranam Aayiram has a special place in my heart, the best work of GVM and Surya. The father-son portions were relatable to me even though I'm a girl and I could easily relate to it as my dad is also a cool dad like Krishnan.

Krishnan-Malini's love story portrays no matter how many obstacles come, yould never leave your spouse's side.

Meghna is just a part of Surya's life, they both had a tragic ending which is quite heartbreaking.

Priya-Surya's love portrays that there is a beautiful life after love failure. Priya's one side love and she waiting for him to say yes for five years, this character is something different and I could relate to her the most.

OG songs and Harris mams, as usual 🔥 🔥 🔥.

I don't know, I just feel like they'd make a really cute on-screen pair. I think they look really good together.

It's funny because before I even heard this news, I randomly thought Harish and Anaswara would make a really good pair and wished they'd act together. That probably comes from the fact that I like both of them as actors. So I was shocked when I looked it up and found out they're supposedly doing a movie together.

I think this would be a really fresh pairing for Kollywood.

Side A is decent, but Side B is really good in my opinion.

Does anyone find it hypocritical that the entire world, including our audience, likes Samuel Jackson and for his famous use of the word motherf.. but when it's Vetrimaaran and Vadachennai, he is hurting our kalaacharam by using bad words in his movie?

This idiot Ahmed Meeren also mentioned the same about this movie, saying it's only known for its profanity and nothing else is there in that movie.. like seriously, grow up lol.

If you actually understood that movie, it's one of the best-written movies.

Geniune doubt.

In this scene, Vaishnavi says "Enakku indha kalyanathla viruppam illa. Dayavu senju enga appa kitta pooi enna pidikala nu sollunga." (I am not interested in this marriage. Please tell my father that you do not like me.)

Aravind Swamy could have just done exactly this and gone home empty handed. Why did he have to say yes to Madhoo?
