DNA

The latest Tamil romantic thriller DNA starring actors Atharvaa Murali and Nimisha Sajayan is now streaming on JioHotstar which is part of OTTplay Premium subscription. If you have watched the trailer of the film, you would have known that the actors play a newly married couple who seems to face a problem related to their newborn child. The film, which delves into the underbelly of an organised crime, makes up for a perfect thriller. If you have not watched the film already, mind you some spoilers ahead.

DNA ending explained:

In the film, Atharvaa and Nimisha Sajayan play Anand and Divya respectively. After the former turns into an alcoholic following his lover’s suicide, his family gets him married to Divya, a woman with borderline personality disorder. The families think that they are better off with each other, and the couple indeed get along well. But their life turns upside down when Divya gives birth to their firstborn and she says that the infant handed over to her is not theirs. This sets Anand to find their real baby, in turn discovering a bugger network of crime.

To cut short the two-hour long story, Anand who solely relies on Divya’s maternal instincts saying that their child is elsewhere, sets out to find their real child. With the help of Chinnasamy, a head constable due for retirement in a few weeks, Anand keeps scrutinizing the CCTV camera of the hospital during the time of birth and identify a discrepancy of 20 seconds. This leads him to catch hold of a nurse, an old lady who play vital links in the child-trafficking network. It is revealed that the nurse has a lookalike twin who is part of the crime network, and the old lady uses bags to kidnap the infants out of the hospital.
