Visual) is a 2014 Indian Telugu-language crime thriller film directed by Sripriya and jointly produced by D. Suresh Babu and Rajkumar Sethupathi.

It is a remake of Jeethu Joseph's 2013 Malayalam film Drishyam and features Venkatesh, Meena, Esther Anil and Kruthika Jayakumar.

Rambabu is a cable network operator who lives in Rajavaram, a village located in the Araku region, with his wife Jyothi and their daughters – Anju, a twelfth-grade student, and Anu, who is in primary school.

During a school trip to a camp, a nude video of Anju is taken on a cell phone camera hidden in the bathroom.

However, as he is disposing of Varun's car, Rambabu is seen by a corrupt police constable named Veerabhadra, who holds a grudge against him.

Rambabu then takes his family out on a trip to Vizianagaram, where they attend a religious meeting, watch a movie and dine at a restaurant.

As Rambabu, Jyothi and Anju are severely injured, Geetha's husband, Prabhakar, asks her to put a stop to this.

After digging up the compost pit, the police find the carcass of a pig instead of Varun's body, indicating that Rambabu had already moved it.

Jyothi's brother, Rajesh, and her father call the media and Anu complains to them about Veerabhadra's ill-treatment of her family.

Before leaving for the United States, Geetha and Prabhakar meet Rambabu to apologize for their deeds and express their hope that Varun will return someday.

As he leaves, a flashback shows him during the construction of the station with a shovel in hand, indicating that Varun's body is hidden in the building's foundation.

Rajkumar Sethupathi acquired the rights to remake Jeethu Joseph's Malayalam film Drishyam (2013), which starred Mohanlal, Meena and Asha Sarath.

Following Kamal Haasan's suggestion, Sethupathi chose Daggubati Venkatesh to play the lead role in the Telugu version.

[5] Based on Sripriya's and Sethupathi's previous collaboration with Suresh Balaje and George Pius's Wide Angle Creations (on Malini 22 Palayamkottai), the production house was given the contract for this film.

[12] She called her character "innocent, vulnerable, emotional, sweet, funny and strong all at the same time", adding that she was initially sceptical to play a mother to adolescents because Telugu film sensibilities were different from that of Malayalam ones, but accepted it due to the script's novelty.

[18] Kalabhavan Shajon was initially reported to reprise his role of a corrupt police officer from the original,[19] but Ravi Kale was chosen instead.

[21] Roshan Basheer was selected to reprise the role of Varun, the son of the Inspector General of Police, in the remake.

It was a little easier for me to bring out those emotions on screen thanks to my training in dance, which teaches you to be in touch with yourself and express yourself.During the pre-production phase, Venkatesh allocated bulk dates and the film's shoot was expected to be completed in a single schedule.

[24] Sripriya chose Kerala for two reasons – its greenery, and to avoid local interference from crowds that would ensue if shot in Andhra Pradesh, where Venkatesh is a star.

[28] A statement from the film's unit on 8 June 2014 stated that the principal photography had been wrapped up and post production work was under way, targeting a July 2014 release.

[30] During set construction for the police station and the house in the film, the producer and the director wanted to get rid of some coconut trees.

[38] A press release on 6 July 2014 stated that Suresh Productions and iDream Media, a South Indian digital content and entertainment company, would distribute the film overseas.

[41] The film's first look poster featured a photograph of Venkatesh, Meena, Kruthika Jayakumar and Esther with a police station in the backdrop.

Participants were directed to submit their best memories along with supporting pictures to a marketing page on Facebook, or via email, with the winner being granted an opportunity to meet Venkatesh in person.

In comparison, two other successful Telugu films of 2014, Race Gurram and Manam, which incidentally also aired on Gemini TV, registered a TRP rating of 15.6 and 15.7 respectively.

[52] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India also gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and called it an "ode to classic style of filmmaking — clinical in its approach and hits just about the perfect notes to keep the audience hooked, without much gimmickry", adding that the film's biggest achievement is that it "respects our intelligence and reinforces the principle that story-telling isn't a dying art".

[53] Shekhar of Oneindia Entertainment gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and called it a "good suspense thriller which will be a treat for family audience", and stated "the second half of the film is simply superb and the suspense element makes you sit on the edge of the seat and watch the movie biting your nails.

[57] In the United States, the film collected ₹0.451 crore (US$52,109) in two days, including preview shows, which trade analyst Taran Adarsh referred to as "a good start".

[59] The film collected a total share of ₹15.2 crore (US$1.8 million) at the global box office in two weeks and was declared "a hit venture".

[60] By the end of its lifetime, the film collected a total share of ₹20 crore (US$2.3 million) at the global box office and was declared "a super hit".
