Review of Drishyam

Drishyam (2013)
9/10
"I'll take that secret to my grave"
28 February 2021
Drishyam is one of the finest thrillers India has ever produced. And what makes it even better is that it's also a family movie. The slow(?) first half of Drishyam reminds me of old Sathyan Anthikkad movies which had the sweetness of a village. I never find it to be slow when I watched the movie again and again. Drishyam is fine wine which gets better and better. The dynamics between the family is one of the best I've seen. Mohanlal and Meena share such awesome chemistry which makes me want to watch every movie they does together. Mohanlal's portrayal of Georgekutty is one his finest works of all time. He has excellent command over his actions and even the minute actions are a delight to watch. Jeethu Joseph's writing and DOP by Sujith Vasudev are just excellent. Sujith Vasudev doesn't try to show off his skills and gives exactly what's necessary. Kalabhavan Shajon delivers a brilliant performance which people will remember forever. Siddique is excellent as always. I don't have enough words to describe how good this movie is. Just watch and experience it for yourself.
