By now I’d have watched Drishyam more than 20 times, that’s a small number when compared to the number of times it comes on television almost every couple of months in the last few years, its easy accessibility on ott platforms. Between then and now, the film has been remade in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, gained appreciation and attracted its share of controversy over the Korean novel it is loosely based on. Out of which I’ve only watched the Hindi remake where I felt Tabu trumps Devgan in impact on screen unlike its original in Malayalam where it turned out to be a excellent start for Asha Sharath in the industry, but still couldn’t over shadow Lal.
What’s the secret in watching a thriller, a whodunit when we know, & have all the details by heart with years of watching & discussing it. Obviously, the first time edge of the seat mystery isnt there. Then .. what is?
