Watch Drushyam For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Wow! Such a good movie.

good back-story, and good acting

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

First of all,iam writing this review inorder to share my views on movie "Drushyam" as it has been a path changing movie in the history of telugu industry, which made possible with the help of the Star hero "Victory Venkatesh",as he redefines once again how a star should be and made such a thrilling experience watching a telugu movie,which has become a trade mark in the Banner "Suresh Productions" on their celebration of 50 years of film making.As the movie came with limited theatres and with no expectations.It has been a movie all the telugu audience are waiting for,without regular format of 6 Songs,Big Fights,Chases,Heroism and violence.It has been a good psychological thriller with the intelligence of 4th class person which was portrayed by "Venkatesh",it has been a tailor made character and he proved once again with this mark as a family hero. All the characters in the film are apt to their roles and all has done justice to their roles..coming to last but not the least "The Captain Of the Ship" the director "Sri Priya" handled the movie in a way that leaves the audience feel of watching a telugu nativity film,all the credit goes to the director in selecting the story,locations,characters and all the departments in 24 krafts.This movie shows the Intelligence of an 4th class Intelligence of a common man.Its has been a long time thrilling experience movie like this kind which has a suspense and revealing the truth in layers and drives the movie to the climax with a twist that gives the completeness of the movie,every revealing part in the makes the audience feel watching a spine chilling thriller.. Final word "Its a must watch movie" only in theatres and feel the thrill..sure u will love it.(Please Don't Encourage Piracy and protect the Industry)

The general expectation when stepping into a theater showing a Tollywood movie is 1. A gravity defying introduction scene of the lead actor2. A comedian (Brahmanandam/MS Narayana/Venumadhav) appearing in scene after for no reason and getting slapped for no reason3. An item number with the dancer wearing the skimpiest of clothes.4. The lead actress is mostly half the age of the lead actor and there would be two of them (actresses)5. A climax with mindless actionWell! Surprisingly Sripriya's Drushyam (a remake of the Malayalam hit Drishyam) does not have any of the above and still manages to hold your attention with the premise that how far can someone go to protect their family?Rambabu (Venkatesh) is a local cable guy who eats, drinks and sleeps Movies. He relates every situation in his life to a movie and takes decision the same way the lead actor in that particular movie would do. His whole life revolves around his wife Jyothi (Meena), his daughters- a teenager Anju (Kruthika Jaikumar) and school kid Anu (Esther). Since they live in a hilly region-rains often disrupt the cable connection-so Rambabu usually stays overnight at the office.Varun (Roshan Basheer) blackmails Anju with a MMS and asks her to sleep with him. Anju and Jyothi in sudden twist of events end up killing him and burying the body in their backyard. Rambabu decides to stand up for his family and devises a spectacular plan to save his family from the clutches of the police more so as the victim is the only son of the Inspector general of Police Geetha (Nadiya), who plans to leave all the stones turned in search of her missing son.The high-point of the movie is-you end up rooting for Rambabu, you feel scared when you think he's made a mistake-feel relieved when he comes out in flying colors. At the same time balancing the act you feel sorry for Geetha who is desperately searching for her son and does not mind breaking the law for it.The screenplay maintains a perfect balance between the antagonist (Nadiya) and the protagonist (Rambabu) i.e. seeing the story from each other's point of view-there is a fantastic role reversal.Venkatesh steals the show as Rambabu, plays his age and you can instantly connect with the character. The ease he puts in essaying the character makes you see Rambabu on screen and not Venkatesh. The Romantic scenes between him and Meena, the fatherly nods towards his daughters- his scared act as the police close on him and the perfect touché at the climax-makes us feel that we are now looking at Tollywood's first "star" actor.Meena is gorgeous as Jyothi. She suits the role of a housewife, mother of a teenager and all of 38 does not let her age be handicap for this role. In a time when roles are not written for actresses over 30-Meena is lucky to land herself in this role. She is so damn perfect that she has done the same role in 3 versions of this movie including the original. She is perfect in the murder sequence, and the aftermath, where she plays the scared housewife lurking in the shadow of her husband and hoping he would save her.Esther is the showstopper of this movie (if you can use the word in a movie). She plays Anu to the hilt, her performance in the climax really needs a standing ovation. The fear in her eyes seems so real that you feel that she is not actually faking it. Everything from the playful kid in the beginning turning into a nervous wreck towards the end-the kid excelled in it.Nadiya as Geetha and Naresh as her husband steal the show as the helpless couple who just want to know what happened to their son-and do not mind using their power to break a few laws.Ravi Kale as the corrupt constable is excellent.All in all-the performances of each one of the actors down to the extras leaves you satisfied .Direction by Sripriya is not much as she only had to rely on the DVD of the original and copy paste the scenes down to the last frames. But giving her due-it would be nice to say that even copy-pasting is an art which can also go wrong in the wrong hands. She keys in the mood of the movie perfectly and with a large help from the screenplay-which is tight and well written (Jeethu Joseph).Cinematography by Gopal Reddy captures the greenery of the hill town and the wide shots during key sequences. The music by Sharath however is a major letdown in an otherwise perfect film.Well! All said and done a different film which coins a new genre "The Family Thriller". Go for it only if you are bored of the stale double ententes jokes and meaningless song sequences-otherwise this movie is not really for you.

Drushyam is amazing... Real tight screenplay, huge conflict and excellent characters made this journey awesome to watch. Venky is at his best with his performance. Every character had an impact on the movie.The main conflict occurs between the commitment of a middle class man to save his family and intelligence of a police officer. The commitment was shown in a great way and it impacted the audience. The director established the characters well. Venky made all safe moves because he was a movie fanatic and learned all the stuff from movies. The best part of the movie was a thriller based narration. The director maintained the suspense till the climax and revealed surprises at the end. After Argo this is the only thriller which made me feel edge of the seat.On a whole.. Drushyam is a must watch for thriller fans. 10/10

An uneducated but smart individual rises up to the challenge to save his family from the consequences of an accidental event. The movie starts with introducing the important characters and the kind of relations among them with a tinge of humor.The turning point comes when the family gets an unwanted visitor(to put it In Rambabu's own words). From there on, the movie takes an engrossing exploration into the actions of the protagonist, intelligently hiding some important activities, which will be disclosed in a later part in a thrilling revelation. The various popular tollywood names get mentioned too as the protagonist is a fanatic movie watcher. Also, some recent movie clips are played as he uses the knowledge of them to solve some issues. At times, The screenplay took care of almost everything. The actors did their part perfectly. The roles of Ravi as police constable Veerabhadram, Krithika as the eldest daughter of Rambabu and Nadia as woman IG officer are the characters to watch out for beside Venky and Meena.The (borrowed) telugu protagonist takes few blows without any theatrical retaliation, for a change.An intelligent film and an engaging watch.
