Drishyam 3 story

Georgekutty’s wife, Rani (Meena) and their children, Anju (Ansiba Hassan) and Anu (Esther Anil), have officially moved on from the events of Drishyam and Drishyam 2. Anju no longer suffers from seizures as she did in the past, and can even sit through her father’s new film Drishyam without getting triggered, thanks to therapy. Anu is all grown up, a smart-mouth who calls out her parents’ old-school ways, and is ready to fly the coop. Rani is ready to renovate their home, now that they’re no longer hurting for money.

Georgekutty, too, is thriving on the surface. He is a producer whose latest film is a massive blockbuster. He wants to marry off Anju so she can move on. If only the town would stop gossiping about their past. But beneath it all, he’s cracking from the pressure of what he has done to save his family. His wife and children still don’t know the extent to which Georgekutty went to protect them all. He's scared they'll think of him as a criminal. Even as he keeps looking over his shoulder for trouble, he reassures them nobody will reopen their case.

Drishyam 3 ending explained

He's wrong. Because Drishyam 3 sees the return of some old characters. Varun’s parents, Geetha (Asha Sharath) and Prabhakar (Siddique), are still grieving their son. Prabhkar is out to prove a point, as Geetha believes he didn’t do enough after their son was killed by Anju. Suspended policeman Sahadevan (Kalabhavan Shajohn), who tortured the family in custody in the first film, is now an alcoholic back with a vengeance. Even as these two team up for revenge with the help of Geetha’s friend Bastian (Murali Gopy), who reopened the case, Georgekutty stays ahead of them.

Prabhakar wants Anju to pay the price for what she has done, so he hatches a plan to frame her for a crime she didn’t commit. He distracts Georgekutty with legal issues of Varun’s case, so he doesn’t find out what’s really in store. But the patriarch goes a step further when he learns of it. He rigs an already rigged crime scene and even goes as far as physically hurting his own daughter to paint her as a victim. But he's tired of the cat-and-mouse games. Despite having evidence against Prabhakar, he agrees to go to prison for Varun’s death if it means his family is safe. He also warns him against harming his family.

Is there a Drishyam 4?

Mohanlal was not joking when he announced that there might be a Drishyam 4 and 5 in the works. As the constantly unresolved case comes to some conclusion with Georgekutty’s arrest, Drishyam 3 ends by hinting there’s more in store. When Prabhakar asks Geetha if she’s satisfied now, she replies that she wants to see Anju pay the price. Even though there’s no specific title card at the end announcing a Drishyam 4, the open ending pretty much sets up the story and hints that troubles have not ended for the family yet. And Georgekutty might have no choice but to keep playing this game.
