help Drishyam FAQ
Is the 2015 Drishyam a remake?
Yes. Nishikant Kamat's Hindi Drishyam is a remake of Jeethu Joseph's 2013 Malayalam film of the same name. The Hindi version stars Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar and Tabu as IG Meera Deshmukh.
Why is October 2 important in Drishyam?
October 2 and October 3 are central to Vijay Salgaonkar's alibi in the Hindi film. The dates become memorable because Vijay drills a fake family trip into everyone's memory as part of the cover-up.
Where is the Hindi Drishyam set?
The Hindi version is set in Goa, where Vijay runs a cable TV business and lives with his wife Nandini and daughters Anju and Anu. The location matters because police hierarchy, local familiarity, and travel details all feed into the mystery.
Do I need to watch the Malayalam Drishyam before the Ajay Devgn version?
No. The 2015 Hindi film tells the full first story on its own, though the Malayalam original is the source and stars Mohanlal as Georgekutty. If you continue with the Hindi continuity, Drishyam 2 from 2022 follows Ajay Devgn's Vijay years later.
