"Visuals Can be Deceiving" is the official tagline of the movie. If you look at this poster carefully, you can see it written below the title of the movie. But, I don't have any opinion as to include this tagline in the caption or not. Salih (talk) 04:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
caption=
parameter of {{
Infobox film}} is a

The plot section reveals the entire story and kills the entertainment value of the movie for those who have not watched it yet. This section needs to be trimmed down and the narratives leading to the climax should be removed. Sreekrbs ( talk) 00:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Hey, can someone explain to me what the deal is with the seemingly arbitrary date spans that we're using as we track the money it's made? I don't get it.
8 days, 11 days, 25 days, 32 days? Is there something special about these days? It seems to me what's notable is:

There appears to be a difference in opinion about the addition of the "Accusation of plagiarism" section. While there are some unhelpful weasel-words in the article, the accusations of plagiarism appear to be significant enough that Joseph was asked directly to answer those allegations, here. So deleting the section doesn't make sense to me. We're not in the business of promoting the film, we should provide a balanced perspective all-around. For all the gushing accolades in the review section, I think we need some criticism to balance it out. I believe the accusations of plagiarism to be noteworthy even if it needs to be rephrased so it doesn't contain weasel words. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 05:34, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
The director is referred to as Joseph in most part of the article. It is a Western practice to address a person by his surname. Here, the name "Joseph" is patronymic (his father V. V. Joseph, a former member of Kerala Assembly) and I guess it is an accepted practice in wiki to use first names for Indian persons. We can see a tag in Jeethu's wiki page (as well as in most articles) which say "In this Indian name, the name Joseph is a patronymic, not a family name, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Jeethu." So why don't we revert to the previous revision of the article which used his first name itself. Libin Scaria ( talk) 08:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Here's some information about how the film influenced the cover-up of a rape and murder case in Nilambur, Kerala. Please add this information as well as how the police criticised the film after its release.

plz add this in the review section as the author mentions the thematic similarity of Drishyam with the Korosawa classic Rashomon.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.161.254.21 ( talk) 21:44, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Amidst all good reviews, some police officers have also criticised the movie after a Police Commissioner came against the movie saying, " it will create a negative impact on people for supporting hiding crimes ". Similarly Jail ADGP TP Senkumar mentioned against the blackmailing scenes from the movie saying that, "if a women gets blackmailed, the first thing to do is to inform the Police". He also suggested "Mohanlal should also think before committing such movies". Rajeshbieee ( talk) 23:02, 25 February 2014 (UTC) let me know whether the above para is perfect to add in Drishyam page under Criticism header ( of couse with the same references )
Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Senkumar claimed that two people accused of murdering a woman from Nilambur, Kerala in February 2014, admitted that their methods for disposing of the victim's body and mobile phone SIM card were inspired by Drishyam. [2] [3]

The Awards section mentions one award named "Nana Film Awards". There is no such award and the source given is a scanned image of the "Best of Malayalam Cinema 2013" selection by the famous Nana film weekly. Instead of categorizing this list in the award section, it can be better included in the Reception / Reviews section. I am not for removing the entire detail as Nana is a source notable enough since it commands a huge readership in Kerala. - 14.139.188.161 ( talk) 12:01, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
I've reverted this edit by greenhorn editor Anjaan333 because the edit summary given was "vandal", though that's not explicitly plain. I think the portions where we attempt to get into how Drishyam created a "family thriller" genre is a bit silly because it tends to unreasonably inflate the importance of the movie (plenty of family thrillers have been created over the decades). However, the blanket removal of probably the only negative review of the movie is glaringly suspicious. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 06:51, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
With regard to today's delightful edit-warring, a couple of questions: 1) Why has nobody started a discussion here? 2) Where is the reference for the 51 crore gross? I don't see it. The infobox reference supports 37 crore, there is a source elsewhere that supports 50 crore. If we're going to fight over the data in this article, (and I hope we do not,) we should update the sources to reflect the facts. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 15:37, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
We clearly have to find some mutually agreeable reasonable sources to use for box office budget and gross. It's somewhat mind boggling that these values (particularly gross) keep getting changed, reverted, changed, reverted. I can understand an argument that the filmmakers would want to inflate their numbers to make the movie more attractive and successful-looking, and that rival filmmakers could have a stake in making the film look bad, but jeez, it's just a film, not a political movement. Is there any box office gross value, and a source, that we can all agree upon? Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 16:48, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

In
this edit I removed many of the roles in the |starring=
parameter. Originally this content was removed
here by IP
117.199.2.32, which I reverted, then had second-thoughts about. Per
Tempalte:Infobox film: "Insert the names of the actors as they are listed in the billing block of the poster for the film's original theatrical release, separated by {{Plain list}}. Do not add non-notable or uncredited actors"
. The problem we have, is that there is no billing block in most Bollywood theatrical posters. So what then are the criteria for inclusion? People consistently confuse "starring" for "appearing in". A person who appears in a film is not necessarily "starring" in it. A starring role is a special credit given to an actor in a film. Does anyone have access to the film's onscreen credits to determine whether there are unique starring credits?

SaraswaT VaruN ( talk) 06:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Drishyam Box Office:- Last week in this very column it was predicted that the opening day of Drishyam would be in the range of 8-10 crore. The prediction came true to the T as Friday collections read 8 crore. In fact one adds the Paid Preview collections, the numbers came to 8.5 crore. Of course these were the lowest numbers for Ajay Devgn since (delayed) Tezz as each of his films in the recent past had collected in the double digit range on the opening day with Son of Sardaar being the lowest at 10.5 crore (courtesy, its clash with Jab Tak Hai Jaan). However, 8 crore on Day One wasn’t bad as it set the stage for the word of mouth to set in. This is exactly what happened as the film showed escalation over the weekend. As a result, around 29 crore* came over the weekend, which is decent, if not very good. The film needs to be very stable right through the weekdays as well to net a respectable lifetime total. This means fall on the weekdays needs to be minimal when compared to the opening day. [1] [2] SaraswaT VaruN ( talk) 06:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Soundtrack: There are some blunder mistakes in this section. The films music label is Muzik 247 not Mathrubhumi Music. Recorded is not "2013", its the name and place of the studio where the music was recorded. The producer is not Antony Perumbavoor its the music producer (composer). There are two composers Anil Johnson and Vinu Thomas, but only the chronology of Anil is listed but written as the chronology of both of them. An additional chronology should be listed for Vinu. Isn't it be better if an audio cover is added ?. The soundtrack section is too short. The audio cd launch and digital music release informations are missing. The video songs release. Then the reception, music reviews, the basic theme of the music, development, technics used, popularity and charts.
Release: The most important part of a film article as per WP:MOSFILM. This section can be expanded. Is the release section this short for a highest grosser.
Reception: You missed a most important review from this man K. Balachander. There are a lots of sources available on the internet. You can also include an "Audience response" sub section if needed (considering the film's popularity).
Production: This section is short and should be elaborated, assuming there will be more information available on the internet when considering the popularity and accolade given to the film.

The user Josephjames.me has moved the article from Drishyam to Drishyam (2013 film). It's unnecessary as the name is unique and other films with the name are it's remake. The title Drishyam helps to recognize the film as the original from its remakes. For the naming convention of the films which had remaked with same name, see the example of Miracle on 34th Street in the section Between films of the same name in WP:NCF. The move he had done is only applicable to different films with same names (not remake) or a disambiguation name which can also refer to name of a person, book, place etc. So I am moving it to the original title Drishyam. -- Charles Turing ( talk) 15:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
