Drishyam 2 Teases, Confounds and Eludes, but Above All, Keeps the Audience Riveted
The sequel is a more sober film, and it works well mainly because of Mohanlalâs gripping performance.

Cinema is the beating heart and the bleeding soul of the
Drishyam universe. The seriesâ hero, Georgekutty (Mohanlal), is a school dropout. People consider him unsophisticated and naïve â the kind of simpleton who elicits pity. George may not have gone to school, but he went to the movies. An owner of a cable TV business, George, a committed cinephile, learnt from the best filmmakers: how to tell a story, convince the audiences, deceive them, and â when the storyâs seemingly over â deceive them again.
