DC, Starring Lokesh Kanagaraj, Hits Sony LIV in 5 Languages
Arun Matheswaran's DC begins streaming on Sony LIV from October 16 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, with Lokesh Kanagaraj leading.
Arun Matheswaran’s DC is about to step out of the cinema and into India’s streaming homes. The Tamil film, already through its theatrical run, begins streaming on Sony LIV from October 16 in five languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
That five-language rollout turns a regional release into a national streaming event. And for fans of Lokesh Kanagaraj, the bigger pull is seeing him lead the film as an outlaw who plays by his own rulebook.
Das, Chandra and the choices that bind them
Lokesh Kanagaraj plays Devadas, popularly known as Das. He is an outlaw who has built his life around a personal moral code. The code starts to crack when he meets Parvathy, a singer, and the encounter sets off changes that alter the course of his life.
Wamiqa Gabbi is Chandra, a woman navigating a life shaped by survival and hard circumstances. When Das, Chandra and Parvathy’s paths cross, their individual struggles get tangled in a larger story of affection, fractured loyalty and the pull of revenge.
The film deliberately avoids a neat right-versus-wrong frame. Instead, it asks what people do when survival and personal motivation leave them with limited choices, and how trust holds up when relationships are under pressure.

Why a five-language release matters
Think of this as the next stage of the OTT window: the period after a film’s theatrical run ends and it becomes available on a streaming platform. By offering the film in five languages at once, Sony LIV is not just adding subtitles; it is opening a direct line to Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada viewers who may not have caught it in cinemas.
For a title like DC, that reach matters. The theatrical run is behind it, but the characters are built for word-of-mouth viewing, and a multi-language digital premiere gives the film a second life across regional markets.
For Sony LIV, the film adds a star-driven Tamil title to the platform and gives subscribers an easy Friday watch. For the cast, including Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, Kasthuri Raja and Thalaivasal Vijay, it keeps a layered performance in front of new audiences.
What to watch for when it drops
Arun Matheswaran’s filmography is known for distinctive storytelling and morally complicated worlds, and DC sits comfortably in that space. The film leans on intersecting journeys, not a single hero’s arc, and the tension between personal loyalty, survival and revenge does the heavy lifting.
The big question is how Lokesh Kanagaraj’s central turn as Das lands on the small screen. An outlaw with his own moral code is a strong hook, and the digital premiere will reveal whether that energy translates beyond the theatre.
If you missed it in cinemas, October 16 is your chance: pick your preferred language on Sony LIV and settle in.
