In Drishyam 2, the screen has split into several smaller blocks and landed on his mobile phone, which links Georgekutty to the closed-circuit surveillance set-up in his workplace and the movie theatre. Intelligent people do not read newspapers, he had proclaimed to his family, a rather unusual belief to hold in a part of India where newspapers and periodicals are known to launch a thousand debates.

The law-abiding, affable cable TV operator once drew inspiration from the movies he devoured sitting in his office. Any talk about the unfortunate incident is therefore a strict no-no in Georgekutty's home.

His wife Rani (Meena) is a bundle of nerves and his traumatised elder daughter Anju (Ansiba) is a wreck. There is much beating around the bush before the cops resume their quest for the clinching evidence that they need to nail Georgekutty.ĭrishyam 2 hits its stride only when the police, led by an IPS officer (Murali Gopi), swing into action. We are aware of how Varun, the spoilt son of inspector-general of police Geetha Prabhakar (Asha Sharath), met his end and where his body was hidden. Since it has to make do with a set of plot pieces that the audience has prior knowledge of, Drishyam 2 has to slog that much harder to sustain, let alone heighten, interest. In terms of structure and rhythm, writer-director Jeethu Joseph follows pretty much the arc of the original film. The answer to that question forms the core of Drishyam 2, which goes beyond the life-imitating-cinema construct of Drishyam and settles for a premise in which the evolving plot of a work-in-progress movie has the potential of mirroring what the future holds for Georgekutty, his family, the police and the unsolved murder case. But is his plan to bankroll a movie a mere innocuous whim or is there more to it? And, determined to produce a film to fulfil a long-nurtured ambition, he has sunk a million and a half rupees into developing a script. His younger daughter Anu (Esther Anil) is in the best English-medium school in town. It is only a matter of time, they believe, before he and his family are brought to book.īut like it has done for the investigators - the protagonist has been scot-free for six long years - time feels a tad stretched in the Amazon Prime film because large swathes of it linger in the realms of the obvious. But the cops believe that it was luck, not his acumen, that helped him pull off a daring cover-up of an inadvertent murder. So, his wife and two daughters are out of harm's way. Georgekutty's intelligence and resolve are still intact. The sequel to 2013's Drishyam is disappointingly tepid. The veteran actor imparts subtle strains of novelty to the man who will stop at nothing to shield his family from the law. The character has evolved perceptibly since we last saw him. Mohanlal is back as the unflappable Georgekutty. Cast: Mohanlal, Meena, Esther Anil, Ansiba, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopi, Ajith Koothattukulam
