Drishyam 2 story (no spoilers)
Seven years after the case involving Vijay Salgaonkar and his family was closed, a series of unexpected events bring the truth to light and threaten to change everything for the Salgaonkars. Vijay must find a way to protect his family once again. The film is a Hindi thriller-drama-mystery that picks up long after the original incident, with the past refusing to stay buried. As new developments unfold, the pressure mounts on Vijay and those close to him. The tone is tense and suspenseful, driven by the consequences of earlier actions and the lengths a father will go to for his loved ones.

Skip it if
- You haven’t seen the 2015 Drishyam and prefer to avoid a story that builds directly on the earlier case.

Our verdict
Drishyam 2 is a solid continuation of the Salgaonkar story, with Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Akshaye Khanna anchoring the tension. The 140-minute runtime lets the mystery unfold at a deliberate pace, though it rewards those who have seen the first film. It’s a worthwhile watch for thriller fans who appreciate a family drama with a dark edge.
