Drishyam Review From Dubai With Pictures...

[pnikhil007]

Theater: Golden Cinemas , Bur Dubai
Date: 03/01/2014
Time: 4.30 PM
Status: Huge Rush...(Booked ticket 1.30 Hrs Before)..Balcony - Full (Big Capacity Approx. 500) (First Class - ? Should Be Full..)

First Half:

Movie Starts with Antony Perumbavoor scenes( i think he is the only miscast in the film,should have avoided him).Immediately movie goes back to flash back...Family scenes & 1 song.1st half ended with a twist in the story.it was nice & fast. Double meaning comedies could have been avoided.

Second Half:

As expected & as per all previous reviews second half was brilliant..i liked the climax very much..Had no clue regarding the ending.Hats Off to Jithu Joseph for this script..He proved his skills starting with Detective which i liked very much.And lalettan as always steals the show... 2 Songs were there but both i felt as average only, but who cares..? Even though the second half was not engaging as Traffic, the movie overall is well above Traffic...All other casts were apt & excelled in their roles especially the childrens.

Positive:
Script
Climax
Direction
Casting
Lalettan
Location

Negative:

Songs could have been better, Double meaning dialogues could have been avoided..

My Rating....4/5

Verdict: Already Mega Hit; Moving Towards BB; If audience is not split with Jilla, ATBB is on the cards...Congrats to all lal fans..With a single movie they stole the show for 2013...Hopefully ikka comes with a Jithu movie...
What made Ikka reject this movie is still a mystery..,That too with a proven director who made a super hit with Memories in 2013 itself...But even though i am an ikka fan, i personally feel that no one can replace lalettan in this movie...
