This 2-hour 20-minute drama-thriller will leave you speechless, is trending on OTT, has bone-chilling climax, with 8.9 rating of IMDb, movie name is…
There's drama out there that quietly unsettles you from the very first scene. It doesn't yell for attention. Instead, it draws you into a sense of unease, as if a hidden puzzle is just beneath the surface. By the time the credits roll, after about 2 hours and 20 minutes, you realize it's not just another thriller. The ending stays with you, a twist so unexpected that it reframes everything you thought you'd seen. Which film is this? Here we are talking about DNA, a 2025 Tamil-language investigative drama‑thriller directed by Nelson Venkatesan. The story centers on a couple who believe their newborn child has been swapped shortly after birth. As the wife grows increasingly certain something is wrong, the husband starts pursuing the truth, search that becomes the spine of the film, revealing a grim conspiracy far larger than a mere hospital error. What is the storyline? The central conflict plays out with Atharvaa Murali as Anand, man haunted by his past, and Nimisha Sajayan as Divya, a woman living with borderline personality disorder who insists her child isn't theirs. Their marriage and the emotional rabbit hole they fall into add weight to the mystery unfolding around them. Supportive performances by Ramesh Thilak, Balaji Sakthivel, Viji Chandrasekar, Chetan, Riythvika KP, and others bring dimension to the investigation. How was the reception of DNA? When it reached theaters on June 20, 2025, DNA drew praise for its tightly-woven narrative, technical polish, and the way it balanced emotional urgency with suspenseful pacing. Critics gave it between 3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars, noting that although it faced some clichés and unnecessary detours (like fabricated songs or melodramatic moments), it remained gripping enough to sit through its length without losing momentum. More about DNA Now, for streaming: DNA is available to watch on JioHotstar (also known as Disney+ Hotstar), beginning July 19, 2025, in five languages—Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, complete with subtitles. It's also accessible through OTTplay Premium, widening its reach across the country. Overall, DNA offers more than just thrills. It thoughtfully explores parenthood, mental health, and corruption behind medical institutions.

Computer science research papers show fastest uptake of AI use in writing, analysis finds
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Researchers analysed the use of large language models in over a million pre-print and published scientific papers between 2020 and 2024, and found the largest, fastest growth in use of the AI systems in computer science papers -- of up to 22 %.Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), large language models are trained on vast amounts of text and can therefore respond to human requests in the natural from Stanford University and other institutes in the US looked at 1,121,912 pre-print papers in the archives 'arXiv' and 'bioRxiv', and published papers across Nature journals from January 2020 to September on how often words commonly used by AI systems appeared in the papers, the team estimated the involvement of a large language model -- ChatGPT in this study -- in modifying content in a research published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour "suggest a steady increase in LLM (large language model) usage, with the largest and fastest growth estimated for computer science papers (up to 22%)."The researchers also estimated a greater reliance on AI systems among pre-print papers in the archive 'bioRxiv' written by authors from regions known to have a lower number of English-language speakers, such as China and continental papers related to mathematics and those published across Nature journals showed a lower evidence of use of AI in modifying content, according to the study team said that shorter papers and authors posting pre-prints more often showed a higher rate of AI use in writing papers, suggesting that researchers trying to produce a higher quantity of writing are more likely to rely on LLMs."These results may be an indicator of the competitive nature of certain research areas and the pressure to publish quickly," the team researchers also looked at a smaller number of papers to understand how scholars disclose use of AI in their inspection of randomly selected 200 computer science papers that were uploaded to the pre-print archive 'arXiv' in February 2024 revealed that "only two out of the 200 papers explicitly disclosed the use of LLMs during paper writing".Future studies looking at disclosure statements might help to understand researchers' motivation for using AI in writing example, policies around disclosing LLM usage in academic writing may still be unclear, or scholars may have other motivations for intentionally avoiding to disclose use of AI, the authors said.A recent study, published in the journal Science, estimated that at least 13% of research abstracts published in 2024 could have taken help from a large language model, as they included more of 'style' words seen to be favoured by these AI from the University of Tubingen, Germany, who analysed more than 15 million biomedical papers published from 2010 to 2024, said that AI models have caused a drastic shift in the vocabulary used in academic writing.
