Drishyam 2 (2021) Subtitles

The sequel of Jeethu Joseph’s blockbuster Drishyam begins where the 2013 film had left off – Georgekutty (Mohanlal) emerging out of a police station carrying a shovel. ‘
With Varun’s parents piling on the pressure and the cops still trying to solve the case, how long will the family’s truth stay buried and can Georgekutty protect his family again?Jeethu’s script for the sequel is tight as ever; like Drishyam, this film too starts off as a family drama while the veneer of fear and anxiety that the family feels is always palpable.
Jeethu also expertly weaves multiple threads, leading up to a stellar climax packed with multiple twists that is as good as the first film’s.
The movie also reflects the social environment the characters live in, touching upon domestic violence and unfair ostracism of those convicted and those suspected.
While Drishyam had the potent advantage of introducing Georgekutty as an unassuming and uneducated farmer, in Drishyam 2 the audience is already aware of the brilliance he is capable of and are expecting him to pull off something incredible.
Despite all that, it’s Mohanlal’s portrayal of the calculative Georgekutty – both unexcitable and distressed – that keeps them guessing and engaged.
The superstar excelled as Georgekutty the first time around and in the sequel, he picks up where he left off, without missing a beat.
It’s a joy to watch him in the family sequences with Meena, Ansiba and Esther Anil.
Thomas Bastin IPS is the perfect foil for Georgekutty, through his own wily ploys and Murali Gopy plays the former well showcasing a restrained aggression.
Asha Sharath once again shines as Geetha Prabhakar, who is bent on punishing Georgekutty for what he did to her family.
Cinematographer Satheesh Kurup’s visuals belie that this film was shot while the pandemic restrictions were in play.
