About Drishyam 3
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film stars Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan and Esther Anil in lead roles. The third instalment follows the story of Georgekutty and his family after everything they have been through. Georgekutty now longs for a semblance of normalcy for his loved ones. The film he produced, Drishyam, has become a massive hit, and he hopes to see Anju married so she can move on with her life.
While the family appears to be leading a comfortable life and Georgekutty seems to have succeeded in protecting them, a reporter’s renewed interest in the case threatens to unravel everything he has built over the years.
The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, it opened to strong box-office numbers, collecting ₹48.37 crore worldwide and ₹15.85 crore net in India. The Malayalam version contributed the largest share to the collections.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Drishyam 3’s focus is not on thrilling you with twists and turns, but on spotlighting Georgekutty and the fallout of his decisions. This makes it the least engaging film in the franchise because Jeethu never lets him falter, even when he resorts to violence. Unfortunately, by the end of the third film, you almost forget why all this began.”
