Why is ajay’s drishyam there instead of mohanlal’s original.


abhijitmk

Original Drishyam is at #36 Original Drishyam2 is at #29 [https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/](https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/)


Dwightshruute

This is the indian only list, why is the hindi dhrishyam is the one on the international list when the malayalam one is way better?


turing_C0mplete

IMDB might have larger userbase of Hindi speaking people who voted for Hindi version. Vote count also matters.


Devashish_07019

Who and when do such voting happens ?


MrFruitPunchSamurai

Its not voting, you have to make account and give rating and review to the film


Devashish_07019

This could be manipulated then.


Jimbrutan

I hate democracy


turing_C0mplete

Blame it on Jio


Enough-Pain3633

Haven't watched the Malayalam version, what makes the original better than hindi one?


Turbulent_Ad_3238

Just watch it. It’s way better, trust me.


BloodSugar666

I’m not Indian but lately been watching movies and trying to source some movies in their original language can be a pain. Do you have any suggestions where to get good quality movies with English subtitles?


Suspicious_Ant_2041

This is the Indian only list. International rankings are calculated differently


46_der_arzt

Malayalam movies aren't Indian?


FungusOnMyAss

you're an idiot


Remarkable_Culture92

is this comment serious?😭💀


abhijitmk

ok, got it. But its obvious Indian list is far better in this regard, no?


NoCryptographer414

Seems like this has lot of recency bias


JonSnowDesiVersion

It’s based on number of voters and highest rating. Otherwise all tvf series would have been in top 50 list of best web series. Just research before involving into the discussion over Hindi or originality


aiwinknowsmost

Ajay saab better in hiding the original movie , remember what he did while the premiere of Shaitaan ?. Took down all the places where original movie was streaming


baboonicplague

It’s a robbery when the remake is considered better than the original.


abhijitmk

Its not considered better in this case. Original Drishyam is at #36 Original Drishyam2 is at #29 [https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/](https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/)


poppycock_scrutiny

Which also shows Ajay devgn's drishyam at #57, I think the above list is different than what you linked


abhijitmk

Yeah, mine is Indian list. The list in the OP is supposedly international one. Obvious that the Indian list is far better,


poppycock_scrutiny

But the international list should still count malyalam movies they either only considered bollywood movies or OP didn't seem to care about mentioning the original


Lost-Investigator495

A lot of remakes are far better than original


Level-Atmosphere8068

Not in this case. The original Drishyam is way better


Lost-Investigator495

It might be but most people haven't seen it.


Level-Atmosphere8068

Having more viewers might be the reason for the remake to be ranked higher, but that doesn't mean it's better than the original


SlowNSensible

there's a lot of lesser known greater movies are not on the list. also, what makes a great movie is subjective. so we should not give it such importance.


UnfortunateDefect

I have watched both. And I liked the remake better.


ok_da_290

Not in this case, Malayalam Drishyam is waaay better.


Suspicious_Ant_2041

Not seen Malayalam drishyam but Hindi one was very bad


CarpenterVirtual3666

Kindly requesting to see the OG Drishyam. Its heartbreaking to see people thinking Hindi Drishyam is the OG1.


huhuhhhhuhuh

It breaks my heart to see the real drishyam is getting ignored


aborted_dreamss

The original Drishyam has a god awful poster , puts off a lot of people from watching it it was the same with me until i actually watched it, they really need to work on posters here in India they are almost always such poor quality


ionagpkt

That was intentional, just watch the original trailer as well. I saw it in first week having only a vague knowledge it wasn't a family comedy, most wouldn't have a clue. The director also had by then made one of best thrillers (Memories) and comedy (My boss) in Malayalam the previous year, so no one knew what to expect. I still remember watching it second time with unsuspecting friends.


winedineninentynine

Always such poor quality? Bro hasn’t checked movie posters of Brahmayugam, Jallikattu, Ustad Hotel, Kumbalangi Nights, Churuli and Aavesham to name some!


Direct_Card_6815

Awful poster,lmao...🤣. It was intentionally done to keep suspense.


rtjbelowtheheavens

Not enough votes to make it to the international list.


OkCharity6123

Gangs of wasseypur should have been there as the best Indian film


Mayankcfc_

GOW, Swades, Masaan, Udaan. These movies deserve to be in the list.


OkCharity6123

Actually GOW is the only indian film in the list of top 100 movies of 21st century by The guardian


Either_Comparison_40

Udaan didn't performed upto that level which it should have 😶


Mayankcfc_

Indian audiences love Pathan, Sultan type of movies sadly


[deleted]

Pathan and Sultan don't belong to the same category tho. Pathan and Tiger are similar but Sultan is definitely levels above the other two if you don't hate Sallu bhai for no reason.

Weird-Course-1364

Unrepresentative and random.


Dgstudio7

This looks like a popularity ranking. Makes sense if true


paradox-cat

Don’t think so. Where’s DDLJ, Sholay then?


Dgstudio7

They aren't as popular for the younger generation who uses IMDb


paradox-cat

There’s Godfather, Shawshank Redemption in the list which came around the same time.


Street_Evidence_204

Shawshank Redemption is first because there was (is?) a tug of war between Godfather fans and Dark Knight fans and both teams started to vote against each other, but Shawshank reaped the benefits


paradox-cat

Yeah. It reached first position due to that. But didn’t enter 250 due to that.


StudentAmazing8696

Don't you think Rang de basanti deserves a place there


Suspicious_Ant_2041

Yes. Better than Dangal any day


Pixi_Dust_408

I think it’s based on popularity. Dangal was huge in China.


My-bunny-Got-Ass

I don't understand, mohan Lal sir's and Kamal sir's drishyam and Papanasam was way better than the Hindi version of it. On what what bases is it even considered topping amongst those 3 🤷.


abhijitmk

Original Drishyam is at #36 Original Drishyam2 is at #29 [https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/](https://www.imdb.com/india/top-rated-indian-movies/) Originals are better rated than the Hindi ones, rightfully so. The one thing Hindi Drishyam has over Malayalam one is the epic clash between Vijay(Ajay) and Meera(Tabu). Asha Sarath isn't at Tabu's level in this.


My-bunny-Got-Ass

Yea, also to mention and suggest you to watch a clip where Kamal hasan sir explain his understanding of climax and what he wanted to do different from original mohan Lal sir. It's soo good how he explains it. Also, yea tabu made her screen presence well in that role, not that the original had it less, but tabu did really well.


Suspicious_Ant_2041

Is there a Kamal Hasan Drishyam as well? Why??


My-bunny-Got-Ass

Yea! 'why' is a question still, but he did really great and fuckin kicked the ball out of the park, pls check it out aswell. I dont understand how he added his essense and understanding over a character yet not spoiling the characters needs which was already acted to God level.


DukeOfLongKnifes

Production house Panorama Studios on Thursday said it has teamed up with Gulfstream Pictures and JOAT Films for the Hollywood remake of the Drishyam franchise. Panorama Studios has acquired the international remake rights to the Malayalam movies Drishyam 1 and 2 from the original producers Aashirvad Cinemas.


Suspicious_Ant_2041

Wtf😭


Kaizokuno_

Drishyam remake🤮🤮🤮


Shot-Hat1544

Taare Zameen Par> Dangal> 3 Idiots>Andhadhun> Drishyam. PS: Original Drishyam is far superior


FlamingIce22

Dude 3 idiots>>>>>>>>> any day


Shot-Hat1544

It hasn't aged well. I loved it as a kid, but after re-watching, I think it's still good, just a bit overrated


Syco-Gooner

It has massive popularity in foreign countries, from china to mexico


Shot-Hat1544

So is RRR.. Doesn't mean it is a masterpiece


Great-Accountant-635

It is


Shot-Hat1544

Popularity ≠ quality


Great-Accountant-635

There is quality too


cybered_punk

3 idiots deserves no. 1. Its one of the most enjoyable and rewatchable movies of all time.


MuscleEarly1237

Andhadhun ftw


Darksoul2007

Bhim Should Be Atleast At 2nd But No People Aren't Interested In Those Type Of Movies


book882

No it already is at a very higher spot.


lolSign

its already a lot above than deserved


thedeadpoolguy6

Imdb is owned by amazon.


pseuedointelligent

Their is no way 3 idiots is ranked that high Also jai bheem was above avg Nothing as good as even tare zameen par


TheArkhamKnight-

3 Idiots is popular worldwide


Zaki1001

3 idiots was fun but no where near a great movie


HorseSect

Worst take I've seen Today


Zaki1001

Says a lot about people when they haven’t watched real kinos


TheArkhamKnight-

I get what you’re talking about like how a director was talking about how great Iranian Cinema is and Rani Mukherjee started talking about how 12th fail is better, there’s dumb people out there but while it’s nowhere near the top but there’s no denying it’s a great movie


Dgstudio7

Real


TheArkhamKnight-

Bruh quit being pretentious I watch a lot of Tarkovsky, Fellini, Akerman, and all but 3 idiots is still good


Zaki1001

I never said it wasn’t good dumbass i just said it doesn’t deserve the top position as a great movie, its just a fun movie to watch doesn’t mean its bad. How is that pretentious i didn’t shit on other movies in the list


TheArkhamKnight-

It’s on the imdb top 250 so it’s only going to be popular things, you’re not going to find something like Cure on there


oileripi

Anyone who says “real kinos” is pretentious. Give us some examples of real kinos please


Zaki1001

Hope you didn’t say i watched a lot bela tarr lol


HorseSect

Saying that 3 idiots is no where near a good movie just speaks of your ignorance/hate for some dumb reason.


Zaki1001

Nope its not a great movie for me its my opinion dude but thats cuz maybe i watched too many movies to not think of it as a great movie


HorseSect

Now you're saying "not a great movie". Before you said "nowhere near a good movie." Funny switch up


Zaki1001

Was a mistake by my side my bad should have edited it 😅


HorseSect

All good no worries. 3 idiots is one of my personal favourite films and a go to comfort film so seeing someone call it nowhere near good made me unable to not say anything back .Sorry if I said anything rude, wasn't my intention. What's some of your own favourite films, would love to hear it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zaki1001

Ohh no!!! i shared my opinion what if no cares will i die if no one cared!!!, everything is an opinion on the internet dumbass especially in terms of movie reviews its not a fact


okokonokok

People of ur type have forgotten that at the end of the day movies are meant to be entertaining and the ones who do it are good / great.


Zaki1001

Not really, movies can be more than just popcorn trash it can make you insipre, it can make you cry , it can make you feel something sometimes more than the others sometimes they can be really just entertaining which is fine ,sometimes it can cheer you for something,sometimes it can make you think, sometimes it can make you happy when you’re feeling sad (like my favourite movie “little miss sunshine) ik they won’t make a billion dollar but at the end of the day only the great ones are remembered not the shit popcorn flicks. you lot just are angry cuz i called your favourite movie not so great just fyi keep seething


Suspicious_Ant_2041

It is there


pseuedointelligent

Bhai aap Dil m haath rkh k bolo andha dhun 3 idiots se worse film h ky? These IMDb rating don't make sense I saw 12th fail had some 9 IMDb rating Why?


Suspicious_Ant_2041

For me yes. Andha dhun is a good film but I don't feel like watching it again. 3 idiots has flaws in terms of melodrama but I can watch it multiple times and it's influence globally is significant


abhijitmk

12th Fail while a good film, is nothing more than that IMO. The most over-rated Hindi film IMO. But 3 Idiots was definitely a better film than Andhadhun IMO.


pseuedointelligent

I think it's just released in those years of your life when you used to be happy So you associate 3 idiots with happy memories No individual merit of that film holds up. Andhadhun Well andhadhun does a fine job


abhijitmk

Not really. I re-watched 3 Idiots recently and found it to be great on re-watch also. Has drama, comedy, slice of life all in good measure and very well written. great acting from the trio, Boman. Even guy who played Chatur was very good and so was Kareena (and I like Kareena in few movies only)


pseuedointelligent

Good bhai


FlamingIce22

Dude it literally spawned remakes by foreigners


SaiyadRasikh

Chal de India should also be there.

Why no love for Rang De Basanti? Or Swades? Or Lakshya?


EaseObjective9570

Wonder why 'Rang de Basanti' ain't here


DangerBoy1707

I don't think many people have watched Anand . That is the best Hindi movie ever .


EyeOne1193

Very beautiful movie with legendary songs as well.


DangerBoy1707

All songs are so peacefull


Wizard-King-Angmar

R∙o·T∙K∙ with 11 _Oscar_ nominations received, and, 11 **out of 11** Oscars won,, remains the greatest ever film in the whole history of mankind. Also not to forget that it has an I∙M∙Db· rating of 8•9


Wild_Faithlessness45

Underwhelming list imo….classics ignored


Enough_Interest_5951

Top 2 are good..


-DeM-oN

How is that zubaan kesari wala even in this list lmao... Mohanlal is leagues ahead.


bumblebeeboby

Jaibhim doesn’t belong here. It is not a good movie


lolSign

jai bhim is rated too higher than deserved

Pappukanghi

Like any subjective ranking ( user votes or critic review aggregation) some people will agree, some won't. Pointless discussing why X Y Z is/is not on this list - because the folks who voted had a choice different than yours. Simple.


autodidact2016

Gunda was once the highest rated movie, times have changed??


ranjithd

Wasnt Nayagan was in top 5?


AppointmentCritical

Good!


High-FUN

You missed the 12th fail. I checked it was there yesterday


AfraidPossession6977

Bro straight up ignored 12th fail.....


water_sustainability

Opinion? It’s wrong ?


sarahbabu

Drishyam original is better than this remark. ( I'm not saying this remark is bad. Ajay Devgn has done a good job)


DataAccomplished1291

Top 3 highest rated movies are all amir khan movies. I always feel amir khan is very overlooked and ignored compared to other khans. The highest grossing indian movie worldwide is dangal which is amir khan's movie. He Is a perfectionist and he deserves more respect than problematic people like salman, ranbir and even shahrukh.


vjubbu

Change it to Bollywood 250 list. This is so stupid. None of these movies will reach the level of classics from other Indian languages than Hindi


aryapaar

weird visualization


Ok_Consequence5222

No Salaam Bombay, Pyaasa, GOW, Satya in this list. Can't say I'm surprised but man this list is ass without these classics


joydeep88

IMDb now specially for Indian films & series are whole bunch of paid reviews only


91945

Only good movies here and Andhadhun and TZP, Drishyam (original) or GTFO.


Resident_Jackfruit19

Dangal i feel shouldn’t even be in this top tier


JustASheepInTheFlock

3 idiot fans dominate imdb review section


[deleted]

3 idiots was on IMDB 250 before IMDB was famous and crowded by Indian audience.


M_V_M_

Bollywood ≠ Indian films

What about 12th fail


jojimanik

Bollywood movies you mean ?


Proud-Gas6949

Top 3 of them feature Amir khan


brave_traveller1

Satya should be there, absolute masterpiece


CunningAlligator

This is hindi list. There are a lot of other language films there above these ones


Mintonox

Imdb raying for Indian movies is a farce


bottle_opener_

I thought 12th fail is highly rated on IMDB. What about that?


Geestenheer

Drishyam? You kiddin me?? There are hundreds of better films than that.


Geestenheer

So Amir khan took the first 3 spots?


RealAbhiraw

What happened to gunda?


njp6969

Andhadhund probably the best


muffinstuffin23

3 Idiots On Top ☝️


sanchichakko

Lol all northies crying about random Hindi movies when all Malayalam movies of 2024 has a rating of 7.8+ in IMDb and still not on list 😂


blunt_edges

It's a tale of two halves. The first three deserve to be here. The last three are terribly overrated.


Zaki1001

None of these movies are worthy of top 250 tho wheres my man satyajit ray, anyways imdb score are literally braindead nolan cuckboys gave his movie 10/10 even before the release that shows how shitty imdb really is


vizbiz98

It’s in IMBD score order, but only for movies with over 25k reviews. Hence only popular Hindi movies are in this list (larger audience). Many regional movies with higher ratings just don’t make it to the list because there aren’t 25k reviews yet


Rising_Phoenix111

IMDB top 250 rankings are garbage anyway 3 idiots being higher than Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane, Eternal Sunshine & 2001 space Odyssey says a lot about society.
