Drishyam Was Said To Be Loosely Inspired From This Book
Drishyam takes the opposite route; it’s an unofficial adaptation of a book where the landscape has been altered in an effort to remove traces of the original. You may already know that Drishyam is an official remake of a similarly titled Malayalam film (2013), written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. But the Malayalam film itself was an unofficial adaptation of The Devotion of Suspect X (2005), written by Japanese writer Keigo Higashino.
Ekta Kapoor’s legal team has claimed that Drishyam is a film adaptation of the book and she had the rights of the book a decade back. An ugly fight did happen between Ekta Kapoor and Drishyam director.
The book was about an unwelcome intruder getting accidentally killed by his ex-wife, and the cover-up the woman’s neighbor orchestrates to save her. In Drishyam, the basic premise is identical – an unwelcome intruder is accidentally killed by a teenage girl, and her father devises a cover-up. In the book, the protagonist is a genius Mathematician who goes up against a similarly accomplished Physicist to ensure the woman remains out of prison. Drishyam’s conflict is more personal: the protagonist creates an alibi to save his own family, while the cop investigating the case is the victim’s mother. Another wily trick is that the highly educated, academically-inclined school-teacher in the book has been replaced with an uneducated businessman, making the character more of an underdog.
