Drishyam is a family thriller where George Kutty’s (Mohanlal) family gets entangled in a quagmire, where there is very little way out. George Kutty with his presence of mind and rationale outwits the legal system and battles successfully in order to save his family from the wrath of his detractor. Not sure if I can sprinkle any more spoilers here, so I believe that less said is well said.
The script was fabulously woven, the trap for the thrills were laid initially without making much fuss and the links were well connected - full credits have to be given to director Jeethu Joseph. Another great aspect of the movie was that the script was absolutely believable. The questions that pop up in our mind every now and then get answered then and there. There were no loose ends in the script.
The performances were rock solid from everyone, from the leads to the junior artist like the old tea stall owner. Everyone pitched in with their two cents to make this a successful one! It’s a well known fact that Mr.Lal is a great actor, with this one he has not only redefined that, but has etched out his name in the hall of glory. Well done ‘Laletta’!! Also the wicked constable, Shajon was awesome, not to forget the performance of ‘Asha Sarath’ as IG Geetha, who was apt for the role where she had to blend sentiment with brevity as her role demanded that.
BGM by Anil Johnson created the mood for the thrills and the songs were also hummable.
Cinematography by Sujith kept us glued to the screen and there were no rapid movements on screen as it was expected to be for thrillers and that is also thanks to the editing department headed by Ayoob Khan.
This movie is a must watch for not only Mohan Lal fans like me, but also for anyone who wants a taste of good cinema and a well executed script!!
Verdict: Awesome
Rating: 4 / 5
