UlagaNayagan KAMALHAASAN in ||"PAPANASAM"|| Directed by Jeethu Joseph

How is Hindi Drishyam?

It seems that it has lot of negative reviews.

Hindi version is 2hrs 40min roughly. First half is compressed to a bit. Couple of important plot points (Swami visit mostly) is confined to the scene where Ajay is digging up the compost (in Papanasam/Malalayam Drishyam, KH/ML will rant with their spouse on their street smartness and their ode to farming.) The 4th fail comment is a recurring insult in this version, but the second is more or less retained from malayalam with an additional scene where Ajay goes to ATM machine to withdraw money (during interrogation.) Instead of August, the incident centers around Gandhi Jayanthi time (Oct 2-3) instead of August 2-3 like in other versions. Also, the slapping scenes are reduced here mostly and not as dramatic. Tabu is given a semi-mass introduction scene for her police role (she enters during lathi beating in cell 2 prisoners.) Overall, this version follows Malayalam version closely.

Ajay pretty much mimics Mohanlal's character (street smart and non-sympathetic in climax.) Shriya is miscast big time (nadippu suthamma varala). Only Tabu stands tall amongst the rest.

Some media reviews are good along with public opinion. Some among them say that bollywood must make more movies like this ..

I was just watching the box office update and review for Bollywood in a Hindi Channel.

The review was very negative about the casting of Shriya Saran and Tabu BUT very positive about Ajay's acting and the second half.

the section of media to report it as negative are nothing but a holes who are hell bent to stick to the point of saying no n degrading anything that is s indian...

wanted to watch this, as I did not get a chance to watch the Tamil version, but except Tabu, not much good reviews about the movie, Shreya is way too young to do a mummy role of teenage kids, besides I am not sure about her acting skills .. for some reason, Indian cinema show times have been considerably reduced in UK , Drishyam shows are very limited here ..

+1 Vinod.

All other language remakes of Dhrishyam, Directors felt that reducing the duration of the movie will make the film racier and it will become better than original.

But Kamal suggested additional scenes are required, that too for 16 more minutes and asked . Also suggested that making it emotional will be better. Producers and director of Papanasam were afraid of increasing the duration. But Kamal was clear and confident about the changes in screenplay and outcome. And it worked very well.

[NOV]

Ever had piping hot, homemade idli-sambar, the latter flavoured with aromatic spices made on a heavy grinding stone, and served on a banana leaf? Are you one of those who, inspired by that meal, tried your hand at making a simple dosa at home? If you’re persistent, you may eventually get a nice, round, crisp dosa. Your sambar may also be a satisfactory. But will it be like that honest-to-Amma meal? Not really.

That mixed feeling you get when you make an acceptable dosa and remember a fluffy, perfect idli is exactly what you’re left with after watching Nishikant Kamat’s Drishyam. Drishyam is the Hindi remake of a Malayalam blockbuster by the same name, masterminded by writer and director, Jeethu Joseph. That film was recently made in Tamil, as the gripping Papanasam.

------

The net effect is that with every scene of the Hindi Drishyam, you find yourself longing for the Malayalam and Tamil versions.

Still, all said and done, Kamath’s Drisyham proves a carbon copy is just that: a decent copy.
