Writer-director Jeethu Joseph strikes gold with Drishyam 2, his sequel to the 2013 thriller film. Jeethu adeptly guides the viewers through its ingenious narrative before leaving the movie and us in existential dread. Replace Drishyam's sappy morality with the film's serious existentialism, and there you have it - The perfect sequel.

Amazon Prime's latest release 'Drishyam 2' builds on the legend of its protagonist Georgekutty, a calculative, empathetic, and mysterious man looking to protect his family from the law. For an uninitiated, the first Drishyam is about this Mohanlal character covering up a murder that his family inadvertently committed. The events in this sequel to that masterful film take place 6 years after the fateful incident at the heart of its plot. The film follows the lives of Georgekutty, his wife Rani, and his kids Anu and Anju as they try to evade cops who still look into the case despite 6 years' passing.
