Drishyam 2

Drishyam 2 is yet another remake of a non-Hindi film that sails through the language barrier thanks to a gripping storyline that doesn’t sacrifice logic in order to cling to emotion. Almost seven years after Vijay Salgaocar (Ajay Devgn) sold us his riveting story, it is Jeethu Joseph’s writing that makes the remake of the Malayalam hit work. We’re told that the modest cable operator’s take on the alleged murder of Sameer Deshmukh, son of top cop Meera Deshmukh (Tabu), isn’t as secure as it sounded at the end of the first part, in which he and his family were saved from the system’s might. Now, a new officer in town (Akshaye Khanna) has planted his flag.
