Drishyam was first made in Malyalam and then recently it was made in Tamil as Papanasam and in Telugu and other languages as well. Director is Nishikant Kamat who gave us Mumbai Meri Jaan(2008) and FORCE(remake of Kaakha Kaakha) The film almost just replicates the original Drishyam almost scene to scene with a few minor changes, like the religion In the original Mohanlal was a catholic, here Ajay is a hindu(thankfully no artificial catholic character), Also in place of going for a retreat there go for a Ashram trip. The film is set in Goa, thankfully no focus on beaches and bars.etc yet there are some stereotypes like the character of Martin who runs Martins corner, he offers the cop a beer at breakfast. But this can be ignored. the film keeps you on the edge though it does lag behind compared to the original yet it is watchable
Direction is decent, though most of the film is a copypaste job Music is decent
Ajay Devgan though not to be compared to Mohanlal,Kamal Hassan does his role in his style and is good in his role Shriya Saran however doesn't suit the role, as she looks too young to be Ajay's wife and Daughter of Ishita Dutta(sister of Tanushree Dutta) as the latter is hardly 8 years younger to her. yet she is okay. Tabu is admirable in the role of a tough cop, Rajat Kapoor is exelmpary. Ishita Dutta is superb though she looks older for the role, Mrinal Jadhav is good, Prathamesh Parab as Ajay's assistant makes a good Hindi debut. Kamlesh Sawant is superb as always, Rishabh Chadda is superb as Sam rest are all okay
score 5/10
