Validation Rule works the opposite way.

To get error message, you have to write
DOB__c = TODAY()

Hi Naveen,

Please try below formula in your validation rule:
  
DOB  = TODAY()


This will thown an validation error if you are trying to make DOB = today()

Hi  Naveen Dhanaraj,
I think you should use this validation rule : 
DOB__c >= TODAY()
because Date of birth must be less than or equal to today.

Thanks,
Ranjeet.

Validation Rule works in opposite
U have to give below condition
DOB__c   >=  TODAY()
So that user can not enter a date that is more than today
