Netizens, movie buffs and critics have largely praised Wamiqa Gabbi’s performance in the Tamil-language film DC (also dubbed into Telugu). The Arun Matheswaran revenge thriller has her play Chandra, a sex worker who joins forces with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Devadas.
So, here is what everyone is saying about her acting in the movie. India Today notes the film gives her a “Kill Bill moment,” with palpable rage that audiences cheer. Rediff calls her a heart-stealer with magnetic eyes and assured presence. The Hollywood Reporter India and Anupama Chopra describe her as terrific, especially in raw emotional scenes. Filmfare and others praise her vulnerability mixed with strength and unpredictability. She matches Lokesh’s energy without overpowering it and brings fire to action sequences. On X and among audiences, reactions are enthusiastic. Fans call her performance fantastic, superb and fiery. They praise her screen presence, character arc and key scenes, including a police-station rescue. Viewers describe her as the emotional anchor and a major reason to watch.
Wamiqa Gabbi has done movies in multiple languages. Despite making her debut in Telugu with Bhale Manchi Roju (2015), success has eluded her in the language for 11 years. She hopes to make the cut with Adivi Sesh's G2, a spy thriller that has been delayed by two years. If she follows up the unexpected success of DC (in Tamil) with G2 in Telugu, a humongous fee hike would be on the cards.
