I just freaking loved it.

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.

Usually when sequels fail in Indian cinema, drishyam 2 has held its ground very firmly and the writers have done a phenomenal job! The story, the build-up is superb. It's a must must watch. Loved it!

The movie doesn't loose it's pace even once. The story before or after the intermission just kept us at the edge of our seats! I didn't even left my seat for a 2nd round of popcorn! Imagine! I wish to see this movie again.

The cast is as usual amazing and the director has kept the time of the movie very much on point. No glamour. Just the story. That's what we expect the cinema to be. Great job to every contributing member of the crew and cast.

It's a great movie. After a very long time I've been for a bollywood movie and i was very happy with Drishyam 2.

Note: I had watched Malayalam Drishyam 2 on OTT, so i knew the story. But at no point i felt bored. The performances were unique and dialogue deliveries were excellent. Ajay Devgan and Tabu did great and everyone else enabled them to excel in it.

The cinematography was amazing keeping you hooked onto your seats.

The best part was the casting was the same as part 1. We could see how everyone has actually changed with time and could relate.

The movie is skillfully made such that even if someone has not watched part 1, can enjoy this movie.

Definitely a great movie to enjoy with family.

I have already seen the original 2021 Drishyam 2 hence while watching the Hindi remake, i knew what was coming. Still i watched it to see what changes the Hindi version makes to the original or is it just a blatant copy paste.

The answer is NO! It is not a blatant copy paste. Let me tell you in points about them:-

1. Having not seen the original Drishyam 1 but the Hindi drishyam 1, i didn't knew that Gaitonde's character is a unique addition to the Hindi version. This , even in Drishyam 2 is a masterstroke.

2. Gaitonde lives up to that hateful character he had from the 1st film. The Hindi version has slightly altered the police station interrogation scene in the 2nd half and this is where the Hindi version outclasses the Malayalam version and the difference was Gaitonde.

3. Akshay Khanna as the IG is another masterstroke addition who fills in the shoes of IGP Thomas . While Thomas was direct and strict, Akshay Khanna is sarcastic in his tone and has this evil way of talking that gives him his own identity. Another place where the Hindi version scores full marks. He's done a terrific job.

4. Another thing that gives the Hindi version it's own popularity is the famous "Satsang" confession. When again brought up here, the crowd roared ! Shows you how this Satsang thing has had its own fan following as compared to the confession in the Malayalam version.

5. The fact that certain scenes have been a little altered to avoid being called a blatant copy paste, for example the film begins with a person murdering another and then running in the jungles. The Malayalam version started straight from the running part without much showing the sequence why he was running.

6. The elder daughter's illness was better captured in the Malayalam version. The Hindi one just seems to add it for name sake.

7. The final climax courtroom scene was , imo, better executed in the Malayalam version. The Hindi one felt like it was rushing to the main points of the climax. Also that scene in the court where Vijay and the IG cross each other , this too was a little better in the Malayalam version where George kutty and Thomas crossed each other and that expression on Thomas's face was better.

8. Tabu and even Rajat Kapoor have nothing much to do as the spotlight are taken by Vijay, Akshaye and Gaitonde.

Overall, Drishyam 2 hindi is a very good remake of the original, just like Drishyam 1 was despite change in directors. It almost felt like Abhishek Pathak had the soul of Nishikant Kamat in him while making this film. At this point, we all can agree that the Hindi version has made an identity of its own , thanks to including new characters and property modifying certain scenes. A tight slap on the face of those who thought this was to be an ott film.
