Drishyam

A family, their joy, their pain, their emotions, and their struggle. There are nail-biting scenes that will blow your mind. There are sizzling moments which makes you think overnight. There are Heartbreaking plot twists which makes you upside down. This is an amazing story. A great movie which can be included in the top of any lists. Jeethu has proved his ability once again. And, of course Mohanlal proved once again he is the real 'superstar' of the industry. This movie has some great performances. This is Mohanlal at his peak, Jeethu Joseph at his best. The rest of the crew especially, Meena, Siddique, and Kalabhavan Shajohn, they seem really bonded to their respective characters and are really amazing. The movie can be considered as the best of this year. This is really out of box, and i am completely out of my words.

This is a true tour-de-force that has you gripped to your seat.

It starts of gently, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security that nothing much is going to happen - it is! And when it does, the tension doesn't let up.

When I saw it the IMDb rating at the time was 8.9, which is very high. All I can say is that it is that high for a very good reason.

Not only is it one of the best thrillers I have ever seen, but the cinematography is stunning. It captures the beauty of the location in such rich tones it is worth watching a second time just to admire the thought has gone into this. But it isn't just the large panoramic shots that are terrific, it is also the smaller sets such as the hotel where George goes for tea, and I don't know whether the director intended the contrast between the cold and clinical chief of police's house and the warmer tones of George's family home, but if they did then that was genius.

If your heart is not racing by the end of the film you're not alive. Awesome!!!

Proportional to its output I don't watch anything like enough Indian cinema - but when I do I'm always reminded to watch more and this is a great example why. Taking some time to generate traction and with a runtime a little longer than you're used to, the final hour is well worth your patience and perseverance, as the plotting and scheming spirals towards its climax. There remain a few leaps of faith you have to contend with, some violence in scenarios not reflecting my reality, but they are easily forgiven for the great acting, imaginative storytelling and in anticipation of your next film from India.

Drishyam is one of the finest thrillers India has ever produced. And what makes it even better is that it's also a family movie. The slow(?) first half of Drishyam reminds me of old Sathyan Anthikkad movies which had the sweetness of a village. I never find it to be slow when I watched the movie again and again. Drishyam is fine wine which gets better and better. The dynamics between the family is one of the best I've seen. Mohanlal and Meena share such awesome chemistry which makes me want to watch every movie they does together. Mohanlal's portrayal of Georgekutty is one his finest works of all time. He has excellent command over his actions and even the minute actions are a delight to watch. Jeethu Joseph's writing and DOP by Sujith Vasudev are just excellent. Sujith Vasudev doesn't try to show off his skills and gives exactly what's necessary. Kalabhavan Shajon delivers a brilliant performance which people will remember forever. Siddique is excellent as always. I don't have enough words to describe how good this movie is. Just watch and experience it for yourself.

Drishyam is directed by Jithu Joseph and casts Mohanlal in the Main role.It starts of like a normal film but by the interval you will be enthralled by the epic twist.As the trailer never showed much about the movie,you will be shocked by the twist.The BGM is excellent and provides a very good backing for the movie.Mohanlal is at his very best and Jithu Joseph continues his success from "Memories".I can't tell you much about the story as I might spoil it for you.You MUST watch this movie RIGHT AWAY! and I promise you that you will be very content.It's the first time that I have Stood up and gave a standing Ovation for a film that I have watched but I wasn't alone,nearly everyone in the the theatre joined in.You will be going back home with a smile on your face,happy that you could witness such a film.
