Read the reviews below:

Meena Iyer of The Times of Indiasaid that the film has a nail-biting climax.

Subhash K Jha in his review said: "Watch Drishyam closely. It may one day help you bail a dear one out of an unforeseen crisis. And to do that you don't have to be a 'chautthi fail."

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV said: "Drishyam is gripping in parts but is anything but an unblemished humdinger." 

Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times said:"Drishyam works because it's a finely crafted suspense thriller after a really long time."
