Drishyam

I watched the Hindi Drishyam the other day on TV and was left disappointed especially after having watched the Tamil and the Malayalam versions before this. The piece de resistance of the movie is the very climax scene in which the confrontation between the parents takes place. I don't want to reveal much about it as it's a pivotal scene and may spoil the whole movie to those who haven't watched it yet but both Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal had completely owned that in their respective regional versions. But Ajay Devgn was totally wooden and his eyes were so inexpressive which completely ruined it for me. Did anyone else feel the same?And the screenplay left a lot to be desired too. Only Tabu was the saving grace.

Ajay Devgan's eyes do all the talk

Honestly, I too felt the same.The story was very interestingly written but I feel Ajay Devgn didnt seem interested in the movie.He has acted much better in other movies.But he was bland here.What other wise could have been a true mystery movie seemed to be another family drama most of the times.

I have seen Mohan lal wala version. It was great.
But I dunno I found Hindi version more intriguing.

Also disagree about Ajay, he was excellent IMO.

Mohanlal was amazing in the original.

I liked the south versions Better. Tamil was pretty good I thought they will screw up.

I dont watch film in any other language except hindi

I don't knw i have only watched hindi version..And i really liked ajay's acting

I think these Hindi remakes are more ( obviously not limited) for audiences who have not seen the regional versions or cannot do to language barriers ( like myself). As someone who had not seen it prior and had no platform for comparison I thoroughly enjoyed it and found Ajay's acting on par.
