Caught up with "Drishya" the kannada remake of the Malayalam movie "Drishyam".
As in the case with most of the movies, it fails to match the original movie standards to a large extent.
Director P.Vasu has made an attempt to cater the same story to the Kannada audience, but somehow fails in the casting of the important characters.
Actor and hero V.Ravichandran fails to deliver the role when compared to a legend like Mohanlal.
Definitely missed Dr.Vishnuvardhan..as he would have lived the role perfectly. Might be other option would have been Prakash Raj. Alas no one else from the current kannada industry fit into the bill, of playing a middle aged role to perfection.
Even the heroine Navya Nair, looks more like his daughter and fails in the role played by actress Meena in the original.
Asha Sarath playing an IG,who is retained from the original has played her character to perfection,when compared to other impaired performances.
Music is not great as songs are only a couple and not remarkable though.
The dialogues are very silly and sometimes crap as in the case of Ravichandran's movies.
The only life saver is the movie's nicely etched plot which keeps you hooked to your seat throughout the movie.
Ultimately the movie makes you realize how a lateral thinking, psychological power and a person's will can alter the perception of the other person.
News is that it is being remade in Tamil by Kamal Hasan...definitely expecting him to excel in his role, as he is a master in living the characters.
Advice: Watch the original(with subtitles)...
