Drisham

---

I am always happy whenever I watch captivating movies. I don't care much about the genres or where it’s acted… So far, it makes sense. I am watching it. I have channeled more of my interest into movies based on true-life stories. This is because I have the opportunity to pick up one or two details from the film.

I have once been a fan of Bollywood. Though I might strive to understand what the movie is all about in the first hour or 30 minutes of the film. Especially with those that have intermissions. It's always difficult to switch. If I am not struggling with intermissions, then I am struggling with fast forwarding the dance sessions.

Except for Amir Khan movies, I noticed he acts so uniquely and differently from the movies he has produced. Amitabh Bachchan isn’t bad either. But I prefer Amir Khan's.

I have watched this movie for a long time now. But while checking on my old files on my system, I came across it again. Oooh, My Drisham. I had to give it a rewatch just to recall what happened in the movie and what made me get so hooked on the storyline.

Drisham

Drisham is a 2015 Bollywood movie. Its duration ran for about 2 hours and 43 minutes. Its genre was based on crime and thriller. It also has a second part that was released later on in 2022.

This was one of the aspects that made me almost lose interest in the movie. The distance between the movie and the next release was too long. I almost forgot I even watched the first part or what happened in it. 7 years was too far. Though they claimed that the coronavirus was a part of the reason for the long delay. It’s still way better than some other movies that the other parts never even surfaced again.

Plot

Vijay, a businessman who got married and has two daughters, Anju and Anu. He wasn’t often home with his family due to the nature of his business. Then one day, one of his daughters, Anju, the eldest, became a victim of sexual harassment by one of the guys in the camp.

Sam, the culprit of the act, went ahead, threatening Anju and her mother, Nnandini, with the sex tape. He agreed that until Nnadini had sex with him, he would erase the clip. While Anju was trying to knock the phone away from him, she mistakenly hit him with a rod, and that became the cause of his death.

Both of them quickly buried Sam in the yard of the house to cover up the crime. Sam happened to be the son of the inspector of police. This means the case could not be erased that easily. They began an investigation about Sam's whereabouts and led them down to Vijay's home.

Vijay, upon hearing about the case, already switched the scenes and painted another picture of the incident on the face of his family and made them resist any form of pressure that might come from the police.

Anu, the youngest daughter, couldn’t bear it anymore, so she confessed the case and revealed where Sam was buried. The police dug and found the carcass of a cow in the soil. The investigation furthered. But it all proved abortive as there was no solid evidence that could prove they actually did the crime.

When the movie was about to end, they showed a scene where Vijay was coming out of an incomplete police station with a shovel and was seen by a drunkard on the street. Does that mean Vijay buried Sam beneath the police station?

Conclusion and ratings

The actors did an impressive job, and it was actually suspenseful with the way you get to think about what will happen next. The storyline was also worth it. So if I am to rank the movie on a scale of 10, I will give it an 8.5/10 rating.
