Drishyam (Hindi)

Drishyam
It'll shock you and move you, but mostly, Drishyam will blow your mind.

PLOT

GENRE

Drama, Family, Thriller
A superbly taut drama. Totally worth a watch

I saw the Malayalam Drishyam first and so the Hindi version did not have the same impact on me. However, the Hindi remake is a faithful copy of the original and so is as riveting.

Vijay Salgaoncar, a cable operator lives a simple life in Goa with his wife and two kids. Their life gets turned upside down when the daughter accidentally kills a boy who is blackmailing her with a video taken of her while taking a bath at a School camp. Unfortunately, the boy is the son of the IG of Police. Vijay’s goal is only to protect his family and to ensure that they are not sent to jail he sets up a plot to outwit the police force. Can a class 4 drop out like him manage to outwit the Police?

The movie is action packed and wastes no time on any fripperies. I just thought that the Rekha Bhardwaj and Rahat Fateh Ali song, although a lovely number, could have been avoided. Music at a time fraught with tension doesn’t go down too well and just make you impatient.

The cast comes together well to keep the movie taut and to establish our sympathies with the characters. Kamlesh Sawant as the nasty Inspector Gaitonde who is keen on destroying Vijay is outstanding. Tabu in her last scene is fantastic though as a hard core cop she could have been a bit more menacing but then that’s only me comparing her with Asha Sarath who plays the cop in the Malyalam version. Tabu’s cop is far more vulnerable and that is her interpretation of the role, which is just as good.

Drishyam is a great watch. It keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout and the climax is a total killer. Go for it!
