Story
The film picks up from where the part one ended. The story in search of the dead boy continues with its mysterious twists and turns. Will Vijay Salgoankar be able to protect his family this time remains to be seen. Like part 1 this film too is a remake of Malayalam film Drishyam 2 ( Feb, 2021). This time Akshaye Khanna has joined the cast as the new IG of Goa Police.
Plus points
1) Acting
Biggest plus point of film is its franchise value (Drishyam 1) which was released in 2015. It was re-made in three different languages in the South as well as in Hindi. Drishyam 2 is once a remake of the Malayalam hit Drishyam 2.
Ajay Devgan is superb and delivered a flawless performance. Well supported by Shriya Saran as his wife, his daughters Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav.
Tabu is quite effective. Akshaye Khanna who arrives in the second half of the film is a surprise package. In fact, he overshadows Ajay Devgan.
2) Direction
Director (Abhishek Pathak) has done a great job but since it’s a remake he has tried to copy the film from frame to frame as the first Drishyam too. The suspense of the film is built very well in the second off where the film simply takes off.
3) Story, Screenplay and Dialogues
Story is nice and continues from the part-1 so you are kept in the loop where Part-1 ended. Confrontation scenes between Akshaye Khanna & Ajay Devgan are interesting and well executed. The plot has many twists and turns which keeps audience hooked on to their seats till the climax.
Dialogues are impactful. Some are hard hitting & clap worthy too ( The actual credit should go to the original writer/ Director ( Jeetu Joseph) of Malayalam film.
4) Editing is slick and smooth and that itself keeps the audience hooked to their seats?
5) Production value is of good standards in the term of photography, costumes, Goa locations, background scores etc.
6) A murder mystery and whodunit thriller which keeps audiences engrossed with various additional characters. As the film is a takeoff from Part -1 most of the characters have been retained in Part 11 hence it makes the film more interesting. There are additional characters who add a new charm to the movie.
7) The greatest plus point of the film is that the director has not used a song that would mar the flow of a murder mystery thriller. Instead he has concentrated on the background score.
8) Drishyam 2 Malayalam (2021) is already on the OTT platform. Comparisons will be made. However comparisons were made with Part-1 too and people still enjoyed the remake.
Box Office Verdict
Film is a sure shot hit considering that the film has got second highest advance booking of 2022.
