The story of the film is said to be inspired from yhe novel 'The devotion of suspect X' but drishyam only shares the story line and not the entire story.
The film revolves Vijay Salgaonkar and his family. Vijay is a 4th standard school dropout who runs a cable tv distribution center in goa. The film takes a turn when vijay's daughter Anu goes for an inter-school nature camp and later at home is threatened by Sameer Deshmukh ( son of IG Meera Deshmukh) with a hidden camera video of hers. There occurs an incident which stumps their family. Now Vijay has to protect his family from the police. There starts a cat and mouse game between Meera who is in search of her son and Vijay.
The first half of the movie is spent on establishing the characters and the story and at some places in the first half the movie lags. But its when IG Meera Deshmukh enters the film is pumped up and the movie picks up its pace. Drishyam consists of an awesome storyline with a nail biting second half and mind blowing climax.
The movie looks exactly the same as the original at some places, Like the song in the same movie, the film at places looks like a "Carbon Copy" of its original. Still nishikanth has done a good job making the movie with the suspense elemants not lost.
Tabu does a fantastic job as IG Meera deshmukh, she stands out in the whole movie. Ajay devgn has done an OK job, but honestly I am a little disappointed with his performance. After watching fantastic performances from Mohanlal and Kamal hasan from its original and tamil remake, Ajay devgn didnot feel as convincing in the role as Mohanlal or Kamal hasan. Still the movie is really good and is a must watch.
My Verdict: 4/5 for a must watch.
