He lives with a cabil TV business and a regular filmmaker, and his wife and two daughters and a family that lives closer to the first half of the film by describing the surroundings.With the first half of the story, the story goes on to the intensity of a crucial event and continues to move forward with the moves and obstacles to the audience.Georgy Kutty, who is also a student of the Fourth Class of Education, is very excited about the attempts to defend his family from his experiences with his own experiences.But we do not see a policeman who fails to appear as it seems in ordinary movies and behaves foolishly.It is amazing to see that everyone is intellectually watching the movements of the boy and trying to overtake the defenses which George Gottt is doing.George Gotta shocked the viewers with a one-pointed upper-level superintendent and even surprisingly shocked by the George.Finally, the film has become a stabilizing viewpoints with a decisive secret known to him only by the Georgy Kutty.The goodness of Mohanlal is what we see in many places.He was a police constable who made a milestone in the acting career of Kalabhavan Shazon.Asha Sharat took up the role of a police officer and Siddiq retained his stewardship.Sujith Vasudevan's camera is also very helpful in raising the map.Jeetu Joseph is very commendable to perform a very good and intellectual work and to bring it to the audience with a good view of the director's role.

The story starts with little slower phase exposing all the characters initially and the regular family, professional life and his fondness towards movies of GeorgeKutty. In the first half the story goes through the usual life of a middle class man who is cable operator leads his usual life until one of his daughters goes to a nature club event and falls a prey in the hands of Varun who is a son of higher police official. The real play starts when George's daughter happen to kill Varun and George starts planning how to conceal that and save his family from the law. With characters of Sahadevan and Geetha Prabhakar one side and how George on the other side breaking all their leads in investigation keeps us on edges. Its a clean plot with no unwanted characters. But one thing that we can say is the justification of concept how Geetha learns all that has happened is not explained so clearly.
Drishyam is the biggest box office success in the history of Malayalam cinema. Though its box office exploits are nothing compared to Bollywood and a comparison actually shows what a small industry (in terms of audience and box office returns )Mollywood really is.It is an above average crime thriller. But the film takes an hour to get going. There is too much of Malayali village life and the banalities of a middle class existence in the first one hour. The director went out his way to show that this was an incredibly harmless and god fearing Malayali family who would never even hurt a fly.I guess the film was such an enormous box office success because it portrayed the fears of lower middle class malayalis and the fragility of their life in the face of a corrupt, ruthless and nihilistic elite.The film is quite suspenseful. But too many things are explained in the end. A lot was said about the twist in the film's plot, i did not think much of it.None of the actors including Mohanlal makes a great impact or anything.I guess this film really pulled at the hearts of middle class Malayalis and confirmed their opinion of themselves as essentially goofy and harmless people who are bullied by vicious police officers and the upper class.And the police force is also given a carrot at the end (they are portrayed as cruel until then) of the movie when the suffering head of the family delivers a short speech about his belief in the importance of the police force.Worth a watch, but you would be disappointed if you have seen some of the better crime thrillers from Hollywood.(5/10)
