DC: What does glimpse of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film shows?

DC is an upcoming Tamil film starring Lokesh Kanagaraj, Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy. The glimpse of the film was released by the makers on social media on Saturday.

A take on the age-old romance tale of Devadas, Parvathy and Chandramukhi, the characters of DC are also named similarly. Sanjana will be playing Parvathy, while Wamiqa Gabbi is Chandra and Lokesh Kanagaraj plays Devadas. With no dialogues, but only background score to drive the glimpse, we see some intense moments. After the trio are introduced, we see something brewing amid them but their equations remain a mystery. Cigarettes, bloodshed, and violence are not the only common elements, for DC promises something more powerful as it wishes a 'bloody Valentine'.
