Original is Best. However Kannada version is too Excellent !! Hindi version allowed to reach it to the larger audience. Above all,,, Kudos to the Original Story writer (I don't know the Name). All versions become hit mainly due to the newness in Story. Of-course with due respect to all Artists & Directors.
Drishyam in Malayalam is my favourite. Though I am not a Malayalee, Mohanlal and Asha Sarath gave such mind blowing performances that I cannot opt for any other film.
If version is good then script is goof if flop means original is original.I have seen kanndaa and tamil is equally good esp kannada it is ravichandran own style all the way
I would also like tom know the names/ photographs of some other characters in the movie. The IG,IG's husband, begger, the corrupt PC, the local SI. I have seen the kannada version. The actors played these characters very well in kannada.
Just looking at the images will tell us who to take seriously. Clearly the expressions on the Malayalam and Tamil actors are worlds apart from the photoshopped good looks of the others.
