The Worst Film Ever

Sorry, this movie sucks

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

'Lalettan proved once again why he is the best actor of this generation. Jeethu Joseph proved he has talent to become the next big director. Drishyam proved family thrillers can also strike gold at the box office.'Drishyam is one terrific film which I missed in theaters. I watched it for the first time when its TV premier got telecasted. I watched it with a lot of expectations. At the starting it looked like a typical family drama. Was I disappointed at first? I think so! But only after the first hour, I realised that director was setting up the plot. The slow narration increased pace. The result was an outstanding second half. A surprising climax concludes the film.Drishyam is about how Georgekutty(Mohanlal) hides a crime committed by his family and protects them from the dark side of law. Of course the first half didn't give single clue about what would be the story. The characters were introduced in the first half. Cable TV Georgekutty,his Rani(Meena),Georgekutty's 2 daughters(Played by Ansiba and Esther.), Constable Sahadevan(Shajon kalabhavan),local tea shop owner, Lal's assistant(neeraj) were the characters who appeared in the opening hour. The characters were also given interesting character sketches. Georgekutty is a school dropout who is a film lover.He is a loving familyman. But he is called a miser by his wife because he is hesitant to spend money. Rani is a honest housewife who wants to live a luxurious life. Sahadevan, a policeman has hatred towards Georgekutty for some reasons. The daily life of hero is depicted at the first half. At the closing 10 minutes of first half a spoiled youth Varun enters. Certain incidents ends up in the killing of Varun by the hands of hero's elder daughter. Georgekutty is informed about it. The pre-interval scene shows Georgekutty standing near the plot where Varun's dead body is buried by his wife and daughter. Varun is the son of an IG(Asha Sarath).Our hero is sure his family had landed in deep trouble. He valued his family more than anything. He uses his underrated brain to rescue his family from trouble planning a wonderful escape path. He plays a tricky cat and mouse game with the police and he ended up winning outwitting the police.Wow the second half has terrific scenes which will stick yourself to the sofaset . Lal changed all the truths to lies and all the lies to truth. The plan of Lalettan was decoded by IG at a point. Win was guaranteed for the police. But the hero had a surprise.The screenplay,storyline stayed terrific and one of the best. The dialogues were superb especially in the 2nd half.Mohanlal delivered a perfect performance. Each movements of him had a meaning if you observed.He is the best. Meena ,Ansiba and Esther played their roles very well. Asha Sarath excels in her job. Geeta Prabhakar IG was a perfect role for her. Siddique does a good job too. Special mention to Shajon for his terrific makeover from a comedian to a cruel policeman. His performance deserves a great applause.Rest of the cast also dos good job.Jeetu Joseph narration style looked very slow at the start. But he was actually setting up scenes which would lead to a mindblowing climax. He has done great job in sketching the mind games. Camera-work was good. Editing was also good. Music was melodious but the BGM was outstanding. It added intensity to the whole drama. The film is one of the best in Indian cinema. The second half is outstanding. Lalettan had scored 100 out of 100 for his role. The climax sequences stayed out of the world.You will stay happy when you see the hero and his family stay safe at the end even though you may feel sad for a heartbreaken Geeta.Overall This film is a must watch for all those who wanted an edge of the seat thriller.East or west Lalettan is the best.

Undoubtedly One of the best family crime thriller movie ever made in malayalam. Excellent script by Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal's performance make the movie far better that usual cliché thrillers in malayalam. Each and every actor of the movie deserves applause. Its a kind of movie that no one will regret after watching and will remain in memory for a lifetime. The first half of the movie is a family comedy drama which become an edge of the seat thriller in later half. Background score of the film is also good. Altogether the movie is one of the finest movie with finest title; Drishyam - Yes, Visuals can be deceiving

a decent movie which will hold you for 2 hrs n 44 minutes... Absolutely masterpiece, don't remember if i have seen any better movie.... Glad to see, even if i followed full movie with subtitles. a must watch n i highly recommend to all. I am a big fan of bollywood but in recent years bollywood is concentrating and is ranked according to its box office collection n sadly not by the film content. Soon bolloywood will showcase a copied version of Drishyam with the same name starring Ajay Devgan. I recommend you watch this before losing the chance to watch the amazing direction on this movie.... Each n every inch of the film is not to be missed, even the songs are worth watching n not less than anything the everygreen beauty of Kerala displayed to its perfection. Don't miss it

This is a true tour-de-force that has you gripped to your seat.It starts of gently, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security that nothing much is going to happen - it is! And when it does, the tension doesn't let up.When I saw it the IMDb rating at the time was 8.9, which is very high. All I can say is that it is that high for a very good reason.Not only is it one of the best thrillers I have ever seen, but the cinematography is stunning. It captures the beauty of the location in such rich tones it is worth watching a second time just to admire the thought has gone into this. But it isn't just the large panoramic shots that are terrific, it is also the smaller sets such as the hotel where George goes for tea, and I don't know whether the director intended the contrast between the cold and clinical chief of police's house and the warmer tones of George's family home, but if they did then that was genius.If your heart is not racing by the end of the film you're not alive. Awesome!!!
