Telugu
movie
Drushyam,
a
remake
of
Superstar
Mohanlal's
Blockbuster
Malayalam
movie
Drishyam,
has
been
creating
ripples
in
the
media
ever
since
producer
Suresh
Babu
announced
it.
This
film
is
slated
to
release
in
theatres
on
July
11.
The
makers
held
a
special
screening
of
the
movie
on
July
9.
It
has
come
out
really
well
on
screen.
Victory
Venkatesh,
who
is
known
for
his
family
entertainers,
is
sure
to
rock
the
viewers
again.
Directed
by
Sripriya
Rajkumar,
Drushyam
is
a
good
suspense
thriller
with
high
entertainment
quotient.
Venkatesh's
sterling
performance
is
the
main
highlight
in
the
film.
The
engrossing
screenplay,
Sharreth's
soothing
music
and
amazing
background
score,
S
Gopal
Reddy's
cinematography,
a
few
comedy
and
sentimental
scenes
and
beautiful
locales
are
other
attractions
of
the
film.
The
slow-paced
narration
in
first
half
and
some
forced
romantic
scenes
are
its
big
drawbacks.
Sripriya
Rajkumar
has
taken
the
original
story
from
the
Malayalam
movie,
but
she
has
made
a
few
changes
to
suit
the
taste
of
Telugu
viewers.
Especially,
she
has
added
a
little
extra
romance,
which
appears
like
it
has
been
unnecessarily
forced
in
the
film.
Otherwise,
everything
is
fine
in
the
film.
She
has
been
successful
in
maintaining
the
suspense
element
throughout
the
movie.
She
has
very
good
grip
on
the
narration
of
the
film.
Drushyam
is
high
on
emotional
quotient.
The
film
starts
off
with
slow-paced
narration,
which
drags
for
almost
30
minutes
in
the
first
half.
The
movie
gains
a
momentum
with
a
twist
at
the
interval.
The
second
half
of
the
film
is
simply
superb
and
the
suspense
element
makes
you
sit
on
the
edge
of
the
seat
and
watch
the
movie
biting
your
nails.
The
climax
is
also
good
and
it
makes
the
viewers
to
walk
out
of
the
cinema
hall
with
a
contented
heart.
Rambabu
(Venkatesh)
is
a
married
man
from
the
middle
class.
He
is
the
provider
of
cable
network
connection
in
a
small
village
near
Vijayanagaram.
His
happy
family
life
is
tormented,
when
Varun,
son
of
Geetha
(Nadhiya),
who
is
the
Inspector
General
of
Police,
disappears
after
he
harasses
Rambabu's
daughter.
Geetha
feels
suspicious
about
Rambabu's
family
and
she
uses
her
power
to
harass
them.
What
happened
to
Varun?
How
does
Rambabu
struggle
to
save
his
family?
Answer
to
these
questions
will
form
the
crux
of
the
story.
Venkatesh
has
a
tailor-made
role
in
Drushyam
and
he
has
delivered
a
brilliant
performance
in
it.
He
is
the
showman
in
the
film.
As
his
wife,
Meena
has
also
done
a
good
job
and
her
chemistry
with
Venky
is
a
good
to
watch
on
screen.
Nadhiya,
Naresh,
Ravi
Kale,
Chalapathi
Rao,
Paruchuri
Venkateswara
Rao,
Chaitanya
Krishna,
Benerjee,
Sameer,
Roshan
Basheer
and
others
have
also
done
justice
to
their
roles
and
their
performances
are
good
assests
of
the
film.
Drushyam
has
decent
production
values
and
Sharreth's
soundtracks
and
amazing
background
score
are
the
main
attractions
in
the
technical
front.
S
Gopal
Reddy's
camera
work
is
another
highlight
of
the
film.
Marthand
K
Venkatesh's
editing
is
good.
Other
technical
departments
have
also
delivered
a
commendable
job.
Overall,
Drushyam
is
a
good
suspense
thriller,
which
will
be
a
treat
for
family
audience.
You
will
enjoy
it
a
lot,
if
you
have
not
watched
the
Malayalam
film
Drishyam.
It
is
a
must
watch
movie
for
family
audience.

The
real
highlight
of
course
is
the
screenplay
of
the
film.
It
keeps
one
hooked
right
till
the
end.
Especially
in
the
second
half
the
way
things
unfold
are
surely
going
to
excite
anyone
who
hasn't
seen
the
original.
From
the
moment
the
thriller
angle
in
the
family
drama
begins
to
the
moment
it
finally
ends,
that
is
the
highlight
segment
of
the
film.
There
is
a
slight
bump
during
the
climactic
interrogation
sequences
but
the
final
ending
makes
up
for
it.

If
you
are
remaking
a
movie
some
changes
are
necessary
to
keep
in
our
audience
engaged
to
the
screenplay,
but
Drushyam
has
no
such
fresh
changes
as
a
result
those
who
have
watched
the
original
will
be
frustrated
with
the
final
outcome
of
the
remake.
Sripriya
deserves
no
sympathy
as
she
hasnt
made
any
changes
to
the
original
script.
Not
in
a
single
scene
she
steer
away
from
the
original.
But
when
you
compare
the
two,
this
movie
fails
to
move
you
emotionally
like
the
original
did.
This
film
only
appeals
to
those
who
haven't
watched
Drishyam
(Malayalam)
and
for
the
rest
it
will
be
decent
thriller
to
watch
out.

On
the
flipside,
the
film
takes
its
time
to
get
into
the
story
and
initial
scenes
of
Venkatesh,
Meena
romance
looks
forced
while
Venky-Sapthagiri
scenes
doesn't
work
much
in
the
first
half.
Nevertheless,
Drushyam
makes
the
audiences
glued
to
the
screens
with
its
peak
second
half
and
impressive
climax.
