Drishyam 2 begins where the first part had ended. The opening scene itself sets the tone of the film and with a glimpse of Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn) starts the narration. Sameer Deshmukh, who is a son of a former IG Meera Deshmukh (Tabu) and Mahesh Deshmukh (Rajat Kapoor), is missing (in the first half) and this time around police restarts the investigations and their main suspect is Vijay Salgaonkar.

After a lapse of seven years Vijay is an owner of a cinema theatre and wants to produce a film on the said case. He actually has written a book with the help of a writer Murad Ali (Saurabh Shukla) wherein the accidental death of Sameer and the subsequent incidents are mentioned in detail. His wife Nandini (Shriya Saran), daughter Anju (Ishita Dutta) has turned epileptic due to facing the traumatic situations and younger daughter Anu (Mrunal Jadhav) is a teenager now. Each member of the Salgaonkar family is under stress but lead a casual life. But in comes a new IG of police, Goa, Mr Tarun Ahlawat (Akshay Khanna) and there are indications that he’ll solve the case and arrest Mr Salgaonkar. Sameer’s accidental death/murder forms the crux of the sequel too.

Drishyam 2 scores in scripting as when a situation is facing dead end, the writers bounce back with interesting twist with multiple threads. ‘Picture ke end mein hero jail nahi jana chahiye’ is a dialogue in the film and the screenplay of the movie does justice to it. Though the first half may seem slow, the second half is more gripping and gathers the steam at the right time. Debutant director Abhishek Pathak has done a good job and he keeps audience on the edge of the seat. The first part had an original plot and the second part is equally good. The story is unpredictable which adds to the entertainment quotient. Music is good and background score by Rockstar DSP (Devi Sri Prasad of Pushpa fame) adds to the drama on screen. Cinematography is excellent and the production values are high.

Ajay Devgn is excellent, as usual, and dishes out a responsible and captivating performance with multiple emotions. His portrayal of a common man with a razor sharp mind elevates the film. Akshay Khanna as an IG delivers a stylish yet believable performance. Tabu shows her prowess as an actor in a limited screen time. Shriya Saran looks beautiful and emotes well. Ishita Dutta, Mrunal jadhav, Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Neha Joshi lend good support. Kamlesh Sawant scores brownie points with his rowdy performance.

Drishyam 2 is a very good suspense thriller and with ample twists and turns makes an interesting watch.
