Drishyam: Movie Review

“Drishyam” - Don't Miss It

Expectations are huge when a masterpiece already made in three languages and has been super hit, is remade in Hindi, and when you have National Award Winner power performers like Ajay Devgn and Tabu, expectations rise about the limit. Drishyam is Hindi is not only known for its base ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’ but also for the completely different treatment given to the dimensions of the characters by the lead actors.

Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn), an orphan, who has learnt to live his life the hard ways, is now running a cable operating services in a fiction town in Goa. His happy family consists of his wife (Shriya Saran), his elder daughter (Ishita) and his younger daughter. Vijay is well-known for being a very nice ‘seedha-saadha’ man to all the people in the town, but not to the corrupt Police Inspector Gaitonde. Events happened in Vijay’s life, leading to an unwanted accident, and he falls in the traps of Police. The story is about the Vijay and his family proving themselves innocent.

This is the second Hindi movie of Director Nishikant Kamat whose Marathi Movie ‘Dombivali Fast’ has been awarded with National Award. Thankfully, Nishikant Kamat hasn’t done many changes in the basic plot of the story. But, as a director, he somewhere is not successful to create a top-notched suspense from start to end. The first half of the movie (of an hour long) is spent for building the characters, and it does it successfully but at a bit slow pace. But it’s not boring at all. The second half involves the chase between Ajay Devgn and Tabu to find the truth, where the audience is glued to their seats.

Cinematography is good but it isn’t excellent. Such movie doesn’t require many song, thus there are only two songs which doesn’t make you leave your seat and go for the bathroom. Background music could have been better because in such film that is very important.

Ajay Devn has played Vijay Salgaonkar under the skin. His intense eyes are enough to express frustration, anger, hidden emotions, smartness and his body language is enough to prove that he is a middle class ‘chouthi fail ganwar’. He lives his role in his own style without following the legends like Mohanlal and Kamal Hassan. Tabu (IG Meera Deshmukh), after Haider, is seen in completely different avatar. She is shown the strictness of a Police Office and the emotions of a mother very effectively. Shriya Saran is satisfactory. The two daughters are natural in their acting.

Overall, Drishyam has been a masterpiece, and will always remain a masterpiece. And this Hindi Drishyam is the masterpiece because of the actors.

FRIENDS FOREVER ???

Such a cliché title, you might be thinking and my blog must have already been judged by you. But I’m guessing the question mark must have intrigued your curiosity. To be honest I was looking forward to this long weekend to write about a few things which were there on my mind from a long time and this topic was not at all in the list. But today when I sat to hit the keys on my laptop I realized it’s ‘Friendship Day’ eve and suddenly there was a hurricane of thoughts in my mind struggling to burst. I have met many people in my life, some have no parents, some no siblings, some have no aunts-uncles and some no relatives but I have not met a single person till date without a friend. Even the most narcissist person like Dr. House has the  most  humble friend like Wilson. So what makes this relationship so incomparable and pure? I think a simple fact that we get to choose it. In childhood being someone’s friend or having a friend was a big deal. You wouldn’t call anyone your f...

An Encounter With Wildlife

 “TO COME CLOSER, GO TOO FAR” I don’t know from whom and when I heard this quote, but yesterday, the quote proved true when I went to my village for its annual fair. It is my grandmother’s place. I have hardly stayed there for more than twice as I do not like the eating habits of the people living there. They eat bhakris (made up of Jawar and Bajra in the breakfast, in the lunch and in the dinner too. I am more habitual too and would always love to eat chapattis and bread. There are many other reasons why I haven’t spent many days there when my other siblings are always happy to spend their entire Diwali and summer vacation. The village fair is a great affair, for the villagers . I have been going there once in a year since last three years just to drop my mother as she cannot travel by public transport due to an injury in her back, and I have hardly stayed there even for a night. Though people there are very nice and have all praises for me, I always preferred to be...

Study is not Everything......

I am tired of studying for these terms. Can career be really made by being a bookworm? Or should I also study because others have been doing it without giving it a turn? Life is so small just like a 12 hours tic-toc clock. if I spend 8 hours in studying, Sure, my life will be blocked. I can't learn answers by heart Neither I can fill the pages by being oversmart. My handwriting is not so good Neither my Maths presentation. But I know all what I see and listen. It is still there in my Brain's accomodation. I can't manage getting up early breaking my dreams and the world of fairy. I can't manage to be scared of someone Scared of teacher when I don't do homework. I don't accept hitting the rular on my hand I am not the tiger in the circus who is badly trapped. How can express what my heart wants? Where my mind roams and where my soul stunts. Let me dive in the oceans of my dreams Let me persue, whether a smile or a chilled scream. Let me live just for today forgett...
