Drishyam: A Perfect movie for ending my tiring Thursday
Just came back from the
Premier Screening of Drishyam. The reason for me to catch the movie was
the reviews of the original Drishyam which is a Malyalam movie with
Mohanlal as the lead actor. The trailers of this Hindi remake with
powerful existence of Ajay Devgan (or Devgn, as he writes it now) and
Tabu, motivated me to go for this movie after a tiring Thursday in
office, (mentioning the tiring day as disappointment was the last this I
was willing to accept after the day, Glad I chose this movie). So the
movie starts with a small happy family of Vishal Salgaonkar which is
living happily in the ever happy town of Goa, there family was disrupted
because of an unwanted person entering into their lives who happens to
be the son of the Inspector general of Goa, Meera Deshmukh, then an
accident happens which changes the life of this family for ever. The way
this 4th grade failed person (Vishal) plays with the police department
is commendable. So the movie is about how actually Vishal safeguard his
family and himself against powerful Meera and her Police Department.
My special suggestion is to have patience and sit for the first half of the movie as nothing much will happen but the story will be built up. After the interval when you come back with that tub of popcorn, its then the real investigation and the never ending plot of Vishal to safeguard his family starts, the proceedings will sometimes give you goose bumps and at times you will expect something to happen which will not happen and hence the tag line of the move "Visuals Can Be Deceptive" The Camera work of the movie is good. it features some of the beautiful locations of Goa (I am not sure if all of that was Goa) The acting done by the whole Salgaonkar family is superb along with Tabu's never disappointing appearance in front of the camera. The movie has limited songs, Two, actually, if I remember correctly, but both the tracks are good and perfectly goes with the situation. The side characters in the movie are also done by good actors and so they mix in the screenplay very meticulously. Overall, Its 100% worth a watch on this weekend, so go ahead book your tickets and go for it, I am sure you wont be disappointed, specially people who like Ajay Devgn on screen should go for this movie for sure.
