Renjith-0099

The performance of Aamir Khan in the movie is more than impressive. He is the best of Hollywood superstars; there is no scope left for disputes about that. Other than that the movie is full of melodrama and predictable twists. There is not a single scene in the movie that surprised me. It was all too predictable. The dramatization of the real incidents kind of made those totally different from the facts. Some light humour in the early part of the movie was impressive. Performance of the entire cast was exceeding expectations.

The national anthem and patriotic scenes to the end of the movie sounded like an apology from Aamir for the stupid things he said last year. All in all the movie is a good watch and value for money. Nothing so great or must watch about it.

What make the movies Shawshank Redemption, Next Three Days and Ocean's Eleven great thrillers and what drew fans worldwide to the TV show Prison Break… These are all stories about a master plan, a master plan to do the impossible and its flawless execution considering every little details. Except George Clooney's Daniel Ocean all the protagonists in above movies/series were simple men. A Banker, a School Teacher and an Architect with no criminal history. They lived their normal lives until they were forced to do the impossible. George Kutty's story go by the same logic. If I dare compare Dhrisham to Shawshank Redemption (which incidentally is my all-time favorite movie) not much need to be told about the quality of the script, the direction and the performances. Dhrishyam is Mollywoods entry to world class family thrillers. For the entire second half of the movie Malayalam Cinema was elevated to the class of Hollywood. We had several art films or those parallel movies to brag about, but until Dhrishyam not many thriller or family drama type movies of Malayalam could have been called world class. Though the last 15 minutes of the movie went very predictable, Jeethu has managed to keep his audience at the edge of the seat for more than an hour and except die hard Mohan Lal haters, who would be too intimidated and upset for all wrong reasons; it's hard to find anyone who may complain about the movie.
