Drishyam, directed by Nishikant Kamat, is a remake of the 2013 Malayalam film of the same name. Ajay plays Vijay Salgaonkar, a cable TV operator in a Goan location who in a turn of events has to fight against a strong opponent IG Meera Deshmukh. It's a game of wits and a single mistake can have adverse effects on his family. 


In 1994, Tabu came into prominence with her role in Vijaypath opposite Ajay Devgan for which she received the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award. If you are a Bollywood movie lover you can not forget Tabu in the ruk ruk ruk are baba ruk song, for which she received the tag 'thunder-thighs'.
After 21 years they are back in an equally electrifying chemistry where love has been replaced by fear.

The first half of the film is very slow and focuses on the close knit family, the husband who stays awake at night in his office for his passion for films, the wife and kids who love him and don't come in the way of his passion. From the family the focus shifts to other residents of the village, the local coffee shop owner, the contractor and the corrupt policeman. Too much time is spent in tea and gossips in the local coffee shop and we wonder when will the film catch speed.
Just before interval Tabu makes her entry and after that slowly and steadily the film catches speed. We wait eagerly for every scene which takes us on a journey of fear, suspense and thrill and the mind shattering climax totally makes up for the slow start.

Ajay Devgan as Vijay is not only believable but also immensely likeable. Though he is neither like the powerful Singham or the dumb Gopal but his brooding eyes look right into your soul and make you fall in love with him. 

Tabu in her no makeup look, looks gorgeous. She has given such a range of expressions that in some scenes even when you know she is right, you hate her.

The film is a scene by scene copy of the Malyalam film so if you have seen the dubbed version or already know the story, then there is not much there for you.

In a line, if you are a Ajay Devgan fan, then you must see this film for him.

Time-pass. Can be seen in theatres for the thrilling second half.
