    Family Drama With an Exciting thrill

    As everyone is aware it is a remake and the movies made before are exceptional. So, definitely the expectations would be high at least by the people who have seen it.

    The movie is super entertaining and comes off as a new genre. The first half gives you a beautiful picture about the characters, how they are simple, funny, trying to meet ends and commoner.

    Just before the interval you get a glimpse of the story and how it is going to screw everything up.

    Second half is just an intellectual battle between Tabu and Ajay. How they try to out do one another. The climax is brilliant.

    Ajay makes up for the time he was away from serious movies and excels scene by scene, Shriya is gorgeous and does well too. Tabu is menacing and yet a mother aptly supported by Rajat.

    Its a must watch!!!!!

    Beyond Bollywood: Captivating, Enthralling Cinematic Brilliance

    "Drishyam" undoubtedly secures its place as one of the finest films ever produced in India, destined to be revered as a cult classic for generations to come. While it is a faithful remake of the South Indian film of the same name, it manages to surpass all expectations, showcasing the epitome of cinematic excellence.

    Vijay Salgaonkar, portrayed by Ajay Devgn, etches himself into the annals of memorable movie protagonists. His portrayal exudes maturity, strategic planning, and unwavering perseverance that sets him apart. As a family man, he embodies the ideal support every family craves Although his character arc begins with him being a Bollywood fan who doesn't devote much time to the family. The weight of responsibility on his shoulders to care for his family is skillfully depicted. Vijay Salgaonkar's journey on treacherous paths for the sake of his family's safety unites the audience in admiration for his unwavering devotion.

    The brilliance of the storyline leaves no room for mediocrity. Each aspect, from characters to plot development, radiates excellence. Tabu's portrayal of Meera Deshmukh is nothing short of sensational, a role seemingly tailor-made for her talents. Her dedication and discipline in embodying the character add depth and authenticity to the narrative.

    "Drishyam" stands tall as one of the finest crime thrillers ever crafted globally. Its seamless blend of compelling characters, gripping narrative, outstanding performances, and impeccable direction and cinematography makes it a true masterpiece. It is a cinematic gem. Its impact will be felt for decades to come.

    A Cinematic Masterpiece!!

    What are the necessary requirements for making a good movie? I guess strong acting, realistic judgments made by characters, complementary music and tight pacing are essential elements in achieving this. In all these departments, Drishyam stands head and shoulders over every other Bollywood movie that has come out in this year. Even though it is a remake of a Malyalam movie, there is no loss of quality and it delivered emphatically.

    The essence of the movie is that due to some unexpected turn of events, a normal middle-class family gets itself involved in the missing case of the son of Senior Police Officers. As they never intended to do anything wrong, they decide to forge a story to dupe the police and save themselves.

    Ajay Devgan and Tabu are the two established actors in this movie, and both of them prove their mettle. It is a welcome change for Ajay Devgan as he has made one bad movie after another despite possessing great acting talent. He plays Vijay who runs a cable TV network and leads a modest life that revolves around his family. Tabu, on the other hand plays the IG officer who is the mother of her missing son. She once again proved that she is the finest actress in Bollywood with a menacing, layered performance that will leave people spellbound.

    Drishyam is a suspense movie and the director does well to include several trademark techniques that are used in such movies. The slow- zoom, slick editing and the tense background score all add another dimension to the well-written thriller.

    The movie explores several elements of Indian life such as the rampant corruption of police officers, unyielding devotion to family, and the longing for revenge. Drishyam is a well-made movie that deserves wide recognition for its achievement in making something that everyone can relate with. All the actions that the characters made were justifiable and any other person in that situation would have done the same. I have not revealed much about the movie in this review because you have to see it to understand the power of this movie.

    Its Shawshank Redemption in bollywood. A masterpiece. The best south remake ever made in bollywood.

    DRISHYAM REVIEW- Hell yeah, just watched the Masterpiece, gem of thriller. Wow is the only word is in mouth now for this movie. Heard a remake of national award Malayalam movie is coming in bollywood and i was just waiting like anything for this movie. Trailer didn't offered much but it was promising. Then critics reviews came which took my expectations to sky level. And finally after watching it i must say movie worths it. A rare thriller which was made to look realistic only not as filmy masala content. First half takes time to set platform, sets movie plot then 2nd half blows you away with its masterclass planning and scenes. A simple plot, a common man who is 4th std failed not much educated tries to hide his family's crime from so called educated police officers. But the content and screenplay is so realistic that it makes this simple story a masterpiece. Even a Long runtime of 2 hrs 40 mins looks too tight and glues us to Our seat. Writer has done an extraordinary job, people will not forget this story in lifetime. Kudos to him and screenplay maker . Music wasn't much needed for movie,still 1 song after interval is situational which plays important role to make scene much tight. Entire star cast acted like real incident and really made me feel that its all happening in real in front of me. Ajay devgn the man who is the soul of this movie. His acting is just out of the world. Those intense eyes, innocent expressions, scary scenes and some emotional scenes as if this movie made for his acting only. Surely best performance of the year till date and i don't think someone will give better performance than him in this year at least, he deserves an award for this movie. Tabbu role is exactly half to Ajay according to runtime of movie. She did whatever expected from her role. Other star cast did fab job, each and every actor gave his best for their roles. Director Nishikant Kamat proves his skills and talent metal again here. He never left movie's grip till the end. Even the last ending scene of the movie was watchable and gives goosebumps. Hats off to him. He already had remake in hand which made direction much easier so there was no chance to make movie a crap. Overall a must watch for all. Only kids wont understand it, but other audience like classes, masses, youngsters and even seniors will love it. Go for this one, take 3 hrs from your life and enjoy the rare and the best thriller ever made in bollywood. Don't miss, you cant afford to miss this masterpiece. Here we have got the best movie of 2015. Last line, 'Its like,'Shawshank Redemption in bollywood. 9/10 * stars by me :)

    • Trivia
      The only reason Ajay Devgan agreed to do the film was because his home production Shivaay got delayed. This gave him 3 free months.Seeing that he was not busy, the producers approached Ajay and promised him the film would be completed in 12 weeks.
    • Goofs
      Despite having no proof, no evidence and no witnesses supporting her, IGP Meera Deshmukh was able to reconstruct Vijay's plan perfectly as if she was there and saw the whole thing happen. It would have been practically impossible for her to figure any of those details out with the information she had.
