Get pumped for DNA, a slick Tamil crime thriller hitting theaters on June 20, 2025! Directed by Nelson Venkatesan and starring Atharvaa Murali and Nimisha Sajayan, this movie’s got all the makings of a nail-biter, with a creepy trailer that’s already got fans buzzing. Packed with suspense, action, and some serious heart, DNA is one you won’t want to miss. Here’s the scoop on its release, story, cast, crew, and where you can catch it on OTT.
The trailer, which dropped on June 11, 2025, is straight-up chilling, teasing a dark crime story with the tagline: “Two sides of the same coin… Two sides of the curse… Two sides for better.” It’s got this intense, twisty vibe that screams mystery. The first-look poster from October 2024, with its eerie newspaper headline “DNA: A Crime That Will Chill Your Blood” and a shadowy figure, totally hooked everyone. Fans are losing it online, calling it a “mind-blowing thriller” they can’t wait to see.
The plot follows Anand (Atharvaa) and Divya (Nimisha) as they dig into a gritty crime case full of secrets, loss, and shady dealings. The full story’s still a bit hush-hush, but the trailer hints at a wild ride with plenty of action and deep emotions. Nelson Venkatesan, who gave us Farhana and Monster, looks like he’s cooking up another banger, this time diving into the dark side of crime.
Atharvaa, fresh off his killer role in Mathagam, plays Anand with all his usual intensity, and Nimisha Sajayan, who stole hearts in Chithha, is Divya, teaming up with him for the first time. They’re joined by Ramesh Thilak, hot off Tourist Family, and Maanasa Choudhary, rounding out a cast that’s got fans hyped for some serious sparks on screen.
The crew’s top-tier too. Nelson’s calling the shots and writing the script, with producers Jayanthi Ambethkumar and S. Ambethkumar from Olympia Movies backing it, and Red Giant Movies presenting. Ghibran Vaibodha’s music sets the perfect vibe, while Parthiban D.F.T.’s cinematography brings Chennai’s raw energy to life—yep, the whole thing was shot there. VJ Sabu Joseph’s editing keeps it tight, promising a thriller that’ll have you glued to your seat.
DNA drops in theaters on June 20, 2025, going head-to-head with big names like Sitaare Zameen Par and Kuberaa. After its cinema run, it’ll hit JioHotstar for streaming, though we don’t have an exact OTT date yet—probably late July or early August, a few weeks after theaters. With a U/A rating and a roughly 2-hour runtime, it’s perfect for anyone craving a solid thriller.
With that wild trailer, a killer cast, and Nelson’s knack for keeping you guessing, DNA is looking like a total must-watch.
