Flix FlashbackUnlike the average murder mystery where the question is who did it, the puzzle in 'Drishyam' is how did he do it. Sowmya RajendranMainstream cinema, a medium for popular culture, is often looked down upon by intellectuals who consider it to be a lowly art. But for George Kutty of Drishyam, brilliantly played by Mohanlal, cinema is his teacher. From the scores of films, language no bar, that he has greedily digested, George Kutty learns everything about life — from romance and sleaze to psychology, forensics and police procedure. It seems to be a wasteful hobby, especially to his wife Rani (Meena), who never loses an opportunity to remind him that he's studied only up to fourth standard. But when George Kutty's family comes under siege unexpectedly, it is cinema which becomes their greatest weapon. Jeethu Joseph's 2013 film opens with a languid bus ride as the credits roll.
