Drishyam review: It's a high-voltage thriller

Film: Drishyam
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Kamlesh Sawant
Director: Nishikant Kamat
Rating: 3.5/5

Luck is everything. My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film. - Alfred Hitchcock

Stunning, gripping, edge-of-the-seat, shocking, engrossing... use any of these adjectives for this Ajay Devgn version of Drishyam, and you are spot on. There is just one caveat: Don't compare it with the original in 2013 which had Mohanlal.

Director Nishikant Kamat's tale of a common man's dilemma, courage and deceit could suffer in comparison with the original by Jeethu Joseph, it is still one film that will reinstate your faith in the suspense genre. If Kahaani was the last memorable mainstream Hindi suspense thriller you watched, then Drishyam will be a grand new entry Read More >>
