Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav in Drishyam 2 (2022)

Review by pawanpunjabithewriter

Drishyam 2

8/10

The Family Man Strikes Again?

Vijay Salgaonkar returns to the silver screen, reigniting our cherished memories of "Drishyam" - an exceptional crime thriller that showcased the sacrifices a man makes for his family.

In a realm, especially in Bollywood, where remakes and unnecessary sequels often disappoint, "Drishyam 2" defies expectations, living up to the high bar set by its predecessor. We place our trust in Vijay Salgaonkar, and he exceeds our expectations, further endearing himself to the audience. This time, the stakes are higher, with a stronger and more determined antagonist challenging the family man's resilience.

The movie commences on a strong note, mirroring the excellence of the first installment, immediately introducing conflicts that intensify the narrative. Vijay, not only battles external adversaries but also grapples with his inner turmoil, all while safeguarding his beloved family. His struggles with time itself add an additional layer of complexity to the plot, testing his dedication and perseverance. The addition of Akshaye Khanna is a cherry on the cake.

Though "Drishyam 2" doesn't surpass the original as the genre's pinnacle, it remains an enthralling remake with an even more gripping climax. Vijay's character continues to shine as one of Bollywood's finest protagonists, forgoing the capes and masks of superheroes to embody the essence of an ordinary yet extraordinary family man.

The sequel successfully rekindles the heroic saga, reaffirming the enduring power of "Drishyam" and its timeless impact on audiences. With its masterful storytelling and Vijay Salgaonkar's captivating presence, "Drishyam 2" stands as a compelling addition to the crime thriller legacy.
