User Reviews
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
