However, not everyone is over the moon. A few have offered more grounded initial impressions, “#DNAMovie | First Half | Ok. The storyline revolves around a child-swapping plot. The chemistry between #Atharvaa and #NimishaSajayan is good. The core plot kicks in only after 30 minutes. BGM is decent. The screenplay predictable and the making seems a bit outdated. Let’s see how the second half pans out.”
