An ordinary young man, Vijay Salgaonkar, who faces many challenges and obstacles throughout his life, in order to provide his family with a good and comfortable life, and finally, he manages to achieve a success, but once after the murder of a son of a police officer, everything changes, as he accused of murdering him.
Wearing a scowl that occasionally lapses into a menacing smile, Devgn is far too sullen and cold to play a part that might have suited Govinda or Anil Kapoor better.
While director Nishikant Kamat's direction needs some help in the first half in particular, there is nothing to fault in writer Jeethu Joseph's original story, which is the stuff cult classics are made of.
Drishyam portrays a decent man pushed to the limit by corruption, and Kamat's restrained treatment turns a story ripe for melodrama into a thoughtful depiction of an honest, upstanding family forced to commit a crime in the name of truth and honor.
