Film review - Drishyam 2 #sanjuzzreviews #Drishyam2 #AjayDevgan #tabu #AkshayeKhanna

Superb, fantastic, fantabulous, inconceivable are some of the adjectives that will come to people's minds after watching this film. Even after watching the Mohanlal's 2021 Malayalam original, I enjoyed this Hindi remake immensely !!

The story takes off 7 years after the incidents depicted the first installment happen, with Vijay Salgaonkar ( Ajay Devgan) and his family trying to move on with their lives. However the fear of the law catching up with them affects each one of them differently. The police, having lost round 1 haven't given up hope and are trying every trick in the book to nab Vijay !!

Who wins this cat & mouse game forms the crux of the plot.

The Hindi remake, like the original has a runtime of 2 hrs 33 mins & around 1 hr 30 mins are pretty laid back with the story proceeding at a leisurely pace. But dont get fooled by this as the movie picks up speed in the last one hour as it moves ahead with one dhamaka after another culminating in a mind-blowing climax.

Performances by Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna are exceptionally good. Tabu, Shriya Saran , Rajat Kapoor, Kamlesh Sawant and Ishita Dutta too are awesome!!

An absolutely unmissable movie that remains faithful to the original. It was heartening to see audiences cheer Akshaye & Ajay's dialogues just like the good old times. Go watch it in the theatres .. you won't be disappointed for sure!!

Going with 4 stars out of 5 .. Adios

************ Movie Review *****

Ajay Devgn's Drishyam, released in 2015, was simply superb which was an official remake of Malayalam film Drishyam starring Mohanlal thanks to its thundering climax and electrifying screenplay.

The sequel, Drishyam 2, which releases today takes the story forward when the IG (played by Akshaye Khanna ) re-opens the case which led to the disappearance of son of Meera (Tabu),leading the trail back to Vijay Salgaonkar and his family.

While the first film was directed by late Nishikant Kamat, Abhishek Pathak returns to the director's chair with slow-burn and yet engaging story written brilliantly by Jeetu Joseph with twist and turns enough to keep you at bay. Drishyam 2 starts off on a slow note but gathers the steam towards the second half. The series of events infuses life to the film and will keep you guessing with what-will-happen-next scenes. Of course, the editing could have better reducing the duration of the film, especially in the first half.

It is the last one hour of the film which makes it an interesting watch thanks to the outstanding climax. The only actor who could match to the calibre of Mohanlal is Ajay Devgn . The actor expresses adequately through his eyes and gives a stunning performance. Akshaye Khanna is just turning out to be fabulous with each and every role he plays and this one is definitely on the radar. Tabu and Shriya Saran's character could have been better written.

So, overall, Drishyam2 is worthy sequel to 2015 s Drishyam which should be applauded for its skillful writing, brilliant performances and astounding climax.

It was a perfect master stroke from the makers

The makers have kept the brand image very well following from part 1 to part 2.the brand value of part 1 was so high that after so many years the movie still lies fresh in mind and the part 2 is no less this will also keep an image in your mind called DRISHYAM

Ajay was same like part 1 he continued the same simplicity and smartness..Akshay khanna was the limelight it was nice to see him after a long time in his new bald look

The movie goes slow for the first 30/35 minutes and then after interval it picks up with all the twists and turns which will blow your mind..prosthetics were well placed and showed each character grown up

Even though you have seen in Malayalam or Hindi dubbed and all though you know all aspects then too this version is worth watching.
