Drishyam (2013)

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Drishyam stands out as the most beautifully made and executed film in this decade. Not only for its nail biting screenplay or for its vivid portrayal of the emotions , nor for its perfection in the technical aspects but for the way that it stands out from the rest of the films as a conventional viewer-go by film to a completely outstanding thriller that nobody will be able to top. Drishyam will be forever remembered as the film that would take us on a lag run throughout but stops and then takes a U-turn to completely takes us into another direction. The climax was impeccable, which without would have been devastating. Jeethu Joseph has wrote an never able to top screenplay and the theme on which the film builds is outstanding as any Hollywood movie. Drishyam was well versed from the beginning. With an beautiful story and a shrouded cinematography, Drishyam sucks you right in as the film starts. The acting, the score, the technical aspects were all top- notch although lagging is a factor that even Jeethu can't avoid. Mohanlal was outstanding as his role as a responsible father and as a able minded average citizen of our country. Meena has also essayed her role profoundly, leaving almost no gaps for the critics to ponder through. Drishyam is a sole masterpiece that should be experienced by everyone. From the technicalities to the story, it is a complete package from the start to finish.9.6 / 10 Visuals Can Be Deceiving !

a decent movie which will hold you for 2 hrs n 44 minutes... Absolutely masterpiece, don't remember if i have seen any better movie.... Glad to see, even if i followed full movie with subtitles. a must watch n i highly recommend to all. I am a big fan of bollywood but in recent years bollywood is concentrating and is ranked according to its box office collection n sadly not by the film content. Soon bolloywood will showcase a copied version of Drishyam with the same name starring Ajay Devgan. I recommend you watch this before losing the chance to watch the amazing direction on this movie.... Each n every inch of the film is not to be missed, even the songs are worth watching n not less than anything the everygreen beauty of Kerala displayed to its perfection. Don't miss it

The story starts with little slower phase exposing all the characters initially and the regular family, professional life and his fondness towards movies of GeorgeKutty. In the first half the story goes through the usual life of a middle class man who is cable operator leads his usual life until one of his daughters goes to a nature club event and falls a prey in the hands of Varun who is a son of higher police official. The real play starts when George's daughter happen to kill Varun and George starts planning how to conceal that and save his family from the law. With characters of Sahadevan and Geetha Prabhakar one side and how George on the other side breaking all their leads in investigation keeps us on edges. Its a clean plot with no unwanted characters. But one thing that we can say is the justification of concept how Geetha learns all that has happened is not explained so clearly.

I saw Drishyam again...wow what a movie.....but ente manasamadhanathinu oru FIR... Jeethu Joseph, an avid thriller fan saw Kahaani n liked it and read abt it on wikipedia and then found that Sujoy Ghosh hs been signed by Balaji Telefilms to do a sequel and whm coincidently had the rights to Keigo Higashino's The Devotion of Suspect X....and obviosly jeethu didn't read it but instead (?downloaded and ) watched Suspect X...(he may hav or haven't seen Before and After ) and then sat down and wrote his most successful work till date....well jeethu's contribution is a bloody brilliantly written first half and the key to his directorial genius lies in his mastery of subtlety and by creating the illusion for underestimation....great job...We cant inspired without being inspired and ones contribution is the master stroke...
