DC Review (Twitter): Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi Get Positive Reviews

M9 News shared its positive reaction to the film, writing, "#DC Review: Blood, Bullets & Banger BGM. DC carries a strong Tamil flavour in its making, characterisations and execution, which is not for everyone. It also leads to a nativity problem. If that’s okay, and the heavy violence-laden action presented with electric BGM is what you like, DC is right in your zone."

Although they did criticise the DC's pacing and writing:

"The slow pace and nativity are issues throughout, and the second half has a bit of repetition, but by the time one reaches the end, it leaves one with a solid, satisfying feeling."

"#DC Review: (4/5) #LokeshKanagaraj delivers a stunning acting debut as Das. His screen presence, intensity, and swag are next level. Arun Matheswaran’s raw action, Anirudh’s explosive BGM, and Wamiqa Gabbi’s bold performance make this a gripping theatrical experience."
