Drishyam 2- Movie Plot
Vijay Salgaonkar now owns a movie theatre and is working on making a film. His family comprising his wife Nandini (Shriya Saran), elder daughter Anju (Ishita Dutta), and younger daughter Anu (Mrunal Jadhav), live an everyday and happy life. Notwithstanding, all of them suffer from pangs of apprehension amidst their lives for the traumatic experience that occurred seven years ago regarding the murder of Sameer Deshmukh.
To add to their worries, the present IGP, Tarun Ahlawat (Akshaye Khanna) and the former official in this post, Meera (Tabu), start an investigation to decipher the truth. Vijay goes beyond his capacities, even this time to save his family from the interrogations and allegations of the police.
Drishyam 2- The Director’s Effort
Drishyam 2 is a remake of the Malayalam version of the same name, directed by Jeethu Joseph. Abhishek Pathak has utilized the original plot, besides adding crucial twists and turns to this story. The movie continues to establish how far a father or head of a family can go to safeguard his loved ones from harassment. It also portrays the helplessness and revengefulness of a mother dying to know the truth about her son’s disappearance.
Drishyam 2- Characterization, Music, Script
Ajay Devgan, Tabu, and Akshaye Khanna have amazingly acted out their roles, knowing the class apart actors they are. The other cast members, including Shriya Saran, Saurabh Shukla, and Rajat Kapoor, have given their level best. The music is also mesmerizing, however, not as much as the first part could. The only downside of this film is Pathak’s attempt to add his ideas to a script that was already done and dusted by Jeethu. The additions somewhere create gaps in this plot. Nonetheless, if the audience has not watched the Malayalam version, this movie will be as riveting as its prequel.
Drishyam 2- Final Verdict
For the brilliant acting skills of the experienced actors and Abhishek’s approach to adding newness, India Café 24 gives Drishyam 2 – 4 stars.

Thanks for the great review! while the choice of Shriya Saran was a bit of a letdown , i expected a stronger cast for that pivotal role,I am glad we have Akshaye Khanna in this exciting sequel.

I am a diehard romcom viewer. Thrillers are just not my genre. But your review tempts me to watch both . Maybe I should give thrillers a chance.
Like the first part, Drishyam 2 isn’t supposedly an exact remake of Mohanlal’s movie. It has some interesting twists, like Akshaye Khanna’s new character. Have seen the original and would like to see this one soon.
I still have to watch the movie, loved the first part and as I am a big fan of Ajay Devgan and Tabu would love to watch this for sure.
