When you come out of the theatre, you will be hard-pressed to remember a single good dialogue from the film. Not something we expect from Trivikram. The film is also stretched unnecessarily.

The first half drags a bit. Instead of entertainment, loads of melodrama is forced upon us, but there is no emotional touch in it. The second half, meanwhile, is like a typical Srinu Vaitla comedy.

This is by far one of Jr NTR’s best films. It is the ideal comeback he needed and he simply lives the role of Daya. Coupled with intense dialogue delivery, he is a winner all the way. Prakash Raj does his role with ease as he always does.

While the movie is good technically, its content is just average.

The songs are misplaced and come at the wrong time. Finally, it’s not a regular commercial film, a typical Srikanth Addala kind of film, without the double meaning dialogues and vulgarity.

… it’s a good debut for Krishna Chaitnya as director as he comes up with a real problem. If Krishna Chaitanya addresses the issue as it is, this film could have been a good one, but there are many drawbacks and he shows the problem only in parts. But this film is fresh when comparing to the regular masala films.

…the story is as said earlier routine, predictable and nothing new, but the only savinggrace at this point is the comedy. ‘Loukyam’ is an entertainer. Watch it for Gopichand and the hilarious comedy by Pruthvi and Brahmanandam.

Though this film has many similarities of Srinu Vaitla’s earlier films, but it’s Mahesh Babu who has the audience’s attention throughout. Watch it for him and more rely on him! The big question is will he pull this film into a big blockbuster?

On the whole, this does not match up to the original.

Despite its shortcomings, Drushyam is a must watch for people who are looking for a different type of Telugu film.
