==Plot==
Georgekutty is an orphan who had dropped out of school after his 4th standard. He is now a [[businessperson|businessman]] running a cable television service in the village of [[Rajakkad]]. He is married to Rani and they have two daughters, Anju, a plus two student, and Anu, a 6th standard student. His only interest apart from his family is watching films. He spends most of his time in front of the [[Television|TV]] in his small office. Due to his knowledge of his films, he is respected by the locals.

During a [[Camping|nature camp]], Anju gets photographed in the bathroom by a hidden cell phone. The culprit Varun Prabhakar, is the son of [[Inspector General of Police]] Geetha Prabhakar. Varun meets Anju and blackmails her for sexual favors. That same night, he arrives at their house and attempts to blackmail Anju. Rani is informed by Anju and pleads Varun to leave Anju alone. He agrees on the condition that Rani have sex with him instead. Anju strikes Varun in the head, accidentally killing him. They bury his body in a [[Compost|compost pit]], which is witnessed by Anu. Rani informs Georgekutty about the incident and he devises a way to save his family from the police. He removes the broken [[Mobile phone|cell phone]] and disposes of Varun's car, which is seen by police constable, Sahadevan, who has a grudge against Georgekutty. Georgekutty takes his family on a trip to attend a religious retreat, watch a movie and eat at a [[restaurant]]. Geetha, realising that Varun has gone missing starts an investigation.

After a preliminary investigation, Geetha calls Georgekutty and his family for questioning. Georgekutty had predicted that this would happen and taught his family how to change their alibi at the time of murder. When questioned individually, they reply the same thing and they had also shown the bill of the restaurant, the movie's and [[bus]] journey's tickets as a proof of their alibi. Geetha questions the owners of the establishments they have been to and their statements prove Georgekutty's alibi. Geetha realises that on the day of the incident, Georgekutty had taken the tickets and the bill, made acquaintance with the owners and had gone for the trip with his family the next day, thus proving his alibi and making the owners unwittingly tell the lie.

Georgekutty and his family are arrested and Sahadevan uses brute force to beat the truth out of them. Geetha learns from Sam's friend Alex about the video that Varun made of Anju. Eventually, Anu gives in and reveals the place where the body is buried. After digging the compost pit, they find the carcass of a [[Cattle|cow]], indicating that Georgekutty had moved the body. Georgekutty and Anu reports to the media and complains against Sahadevan, who is later suspended and Geetha resigns from her post. Geetha and her husband Prabhakar meet Georgekutty to ask forgiveness for their rude and violent behavior. Georgekutty suspects there might be foul play involved and still does not reveal directly that his family has committed a crime. Georgekutty, now in remand, signs a register at the newly constructed local police station and leaves. As the police inspector tells him that he will find the body and that the police are not fools, Georgekutty replies by telling the officer he believes that the police are there to help the people. 

As he exits the police station, it is revealed that Georgekutty had buried Varun's body beneath the police station.

== Themes ==
A reviewer from ''[[The Hindu]]'' noted, "The film takes off as a typical family drama. The first half of the film is intentionally slow-paced and shows to the audience the lighter moments in the family of Georgekutty. This half combines the elements of [[drama film|drama]] and [[comedy film|comedy]] genres. The audience gets completely absorbed in the twist of events that begin to unfold from the end of the first half. The second half is more like a thriller and is about how the family, despite the vengeful villainy of a corrupt cop, stands its ground even as the law takes its course."<ref name="The Hindu Review" /> When asked whether this change in narrative style post-interval was intentional, Jeethu replied: "I really don't understand when people say the first half lacked pace. A story or a film has its own way of progression and it does travel in a zig-zag away, capturing all the ups and downs of our lives. Right from the start if you accelerate the pace, sooner or later, the story-telling will lose its steam."<ref name=Interview1 />

When asked whether he had kicked off a new genre in Malayalam—family thriller, a genre which combines the elements of a family drama and [[thriller (genre)|thriller]], Jeethu replied, "I still believe it belongs to the genre 'drama', not a thriller."<ref name=Interview1 /> He also stated in another interview, "We usually brand a film as a thriller, simply because there is some mystery in the narrative or the story unfolds through an investigation. But I don't subscribe to this. Although there are some twists in the tale and some suspense as well, ''Drishyam'' is essentially the story of a family."<ref>{{Cite web |last=George |first=Vijay |date=26 December 2013 |title=One for the family |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/one-for-the-family/article5479778.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227180202/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/one-for-the-family/article5479778.ece |archive-date=27 December 2013 |website=The Hindu}}</ref>

The film has also been said to be inspired by ''[[The Devotion of Suspect X]]'', a Japanese novel written by [[Keigo Higashino]]. Ekta Kapoor, who had purchased the Hindi movie rights of the novel, sent a legal notice to the makers of the film. However, the director clarified, "After Ekta's legal team sent us the letter, I watched the Japanese film, ''[[Suspect X]]'', which is an adaptation of the Japanese novel. There could be similarities between my film and that Japanese film, but my film is neither an adaptation nor a copy. The Japanese film is also about a murder cover-up and hence the allegation. Similarities are quite common in the works of creators and that shouldn't be made into an issue."<ref>{{Cite web |date=22 July 2014 |title=Drishyam director responds to Ekta Kapoor's legal notice |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Drishyam-director-responds-to-Ekta-Kapoors-legal-notice/articleshow/38802704.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617025728/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/Drishyam-director-responds-to-Ekta-Kapoors-legal-notice/articleshow/38802704.cms |archive-date=17 June 2015 |website=[[The Times of India]] |df=dmy-all}}</ref> ''[[Rashomon]]'' (1950) was also cited as an inspiration for the film.<ref>{{Cite news |date=4 March 2014 |title=My script for 'Drishyam' is original, says Jeethu Joseph |url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/my-script-for-drishyam-is-original-says-jeethu-joseph-114030400385_1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151108213946/http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/my-script-for-drishyam-is-original-says-jeethu-joseph-114030400385_1.html |archive-date=8 November 2015 |website=[[Business Standard]]|agency=Press Trust of India }}</ref>

The film was criticised for the use of some "sexist dialogues" in the first half which were playing to a certain "new generation" audience. Sowmya Rajendran of [[Sify]] criticised the same and stated about one of such scenes in the film, "it is such banter, which we often dismiss with a laugh, that helps perpetuate [[rape culture]]."<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 January 2014 |title=Will Drishyam be perfected in its remakes? |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/will-drishyam-be-perfected-in-its-remakes-news-tamil-ob3mywfacagsi.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151119065627/http://www.sify.com/movies/will-drishyam-be-perfected-in-its-remakes-news-tamil-ob3mywfacagsi.html |archive-date=19 November 2015 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref> When asked about this, the director replied, "I firmly believe such conversations are part of our lives.

But then I read out that part of the script to a select group of women and they nodded their heads in approval."<ref name=Interview1 />

There were also allegations that ''Drishyam'' might provoke murder. [[Kerala]] [[Additional Director General of Police|ADGP]] [[T.P.Senkumar]] [[Indian Police Service|IPS]] claimed that two people accused of murdering a woman from [[Nilambur]] in February 2014 admitted that their methods for disposing of the victim's body and mobile phone SIM card were influenced by the film.<ref name="IBTimesSeshagiri">{{Cite web |last=Seshagiri |first=Sangeetha |date=16 February 2014 |title=Nilambur Murder Case: Mohanlal-Starrer 'Drishyam' Inspired Accused to Cover-up Crime? |url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/538949/20140216/nilambur-murder-case-drishyam-mohanlal-crime-coverup.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226220224/http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/538949/20140216/nilambur-murder-case-drishyam-mohanlal-crime-coverup.htm |archive-date=26 February 2014 |access-date=26 February 2014 |publisher=ibtimes.co.in}}</ref> The murder of a young girl in [[Irinjalakuda]] by her father and his mistress was also said to be influenced by ''Drishyam''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 February 2014 |title=Man Covers up Daughter's Murder in Filmy Style |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Man-Covers-up-Daughter%E2%80%99s-Murder-in-Filmy-Style/2014/10/23/article2489784.ece |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141212044609/http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Man-Covers-up-Daughter%E2%80%99s-Murder-in-Filmy-Style/2014/10/23/article2489784.ece |archive-date=12 December 2014 |access-date=17 October 2015 |website=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>
