    High tension drama at its best

    Drushyam is amazing... Real tight screenplay, huge conflict and excellent characters made this journey awesome to watch. Venky is at his best with his performance. Every character had an impact on the movie.

    The main conflict occurs between the commitment of a middle class man to save his family and intelligence of a police officer. The commitment was shown in a great way and it impacted the audience. The director established the characters well. Venky made all safe moves because he was a movie fanatic and learned all the stuff from movies.

    The best part of the movie was a thriller based narration. The director maintained the suspense till the climax and revealed surprises at the end. After Argo this is the only thriller which made me feel edge of the seat.

    On a whole.. Drushyam is a must watch for thriller fans. 10/10

    Good movie

    Movie starts with good Family environment and slowly transforms into most gripping Family Thriller. This Transformation is injected into the audience mind in a very good way that it grabs all the concentration of the audience.

    The Best Movie in Venkatesh's Career !!!! Change in Tollywood is here.

    Drishyam is a perfect blend of a family and a thriller. It delivers the thrilling, thought-provoking view in every person after watching the movie.

    In fact, this the first telugu movie which hasn't followed commercial elements to make it successful, but made the story their hero and their stardom.

    The Movie Excels in Every department, whether it be music, Direction, Acting, Suspense Elements.... Which gave the ultimate Emotional Thriller Experience...Racy and outstanding Second half of the movie will take your breath away.

    It will be easily on the Must-watch films list. Don't miss it !!!!!!!

    Karma gives and takes from the involved people

    Beautiful narration of the movie with much involved performances. Superb plot. Expecting Drushyam 2 in telugu by venkatesh garu under the suresh productions as first part was produced by late D ramanaidu garu. Moreover I felt that all telugu versions actors acting was phenomenal when compared to Malayalam,Tamil,Hindi actors.
