Things are fine till a brat Varun (Roshan) enters their life & spoils it. The rest of the film is engaging thrilling & emotional.Drishyam is surely a film that revolves around a family but it's much more than that. But the director Jeethu Joseph has managed to surprise the viewer with a completely different approach.It is a film without any artificiality & it engages the viewer with steady story telling.
The story doesn't offer anything new but the style in which it is made is surely awesome.
The film has an average first half which contains lot of family sequences for family audience. The second half was really thrilling & emotional. Lal Magic works out again in Kerala.
The first half of the film is like what we expect. But the second half is really excellent. What makes the film thrilling is its strong script & direction.
Perfect for all types of audience. A clean film. Must be a hit.
Performance
Mohanlal is the main attraction of the film. He acting was excellent as Georgekutty especially in some emotional moments. Meena made a good come back. The child artists did their roles very beautifully. Kalabhavan Shajon's Sahadevan , the police constable was another notable character. All other cast including Siddique ,Asha Sharath , Roshan etc do their roles perfectly.
Technical Aspects
Sujith Vasudev's camera has captured the beauty of the place. The visuals are too good. Ayoob Khan's editing is also good.
Music
There are two songs in this film. Both are good. Anil Johnson's music is good & also he deserves a special mention for the BGM of the film. 'Marivil ....' song in Drishyam has already become a hit.
Script & Direction
Jeethu Joseph once again establishes himself as a good director. His direction was superb. The script doesn't have much loopholes & it is very much entertaining. The strong script is the backbone of this film.
Verdict:- Drishyam is an entertainer which has elements of thrills, emotions & fun. Go watch it .... Trailer
