DC (Tamil) Lokesh Kanagaraj has an undeniable talent for making you fond of on-screen gangsters. He could do it as a director. He pulls it off again in his acting debut. Arun Matheswaran’s DC stars Lokesh as Das, a ‘rowdie’ with a hair-trigger temper. Das and his gang race against time and police to pull off a heist of sorts. The film also makes attempts to question how criminality is often described without the socio-economic contexts that create it. Das’ full name is Devadas.

Who honours it and who doesn’t directly affects Odysseus’ journey home. The intrigue and betrayals in this 24-book epic poem are often also seen as violations of xenia, elevating it beyond the mere relationships between the many characters.
