"The question is not what's in front of your eyes... This dialogue by fourth
fail Vijay Salgaonkar is once again a reminder of the courage, wisdom, deceit
and dilemma of a common man. A common man, who can go to any extent to save
his family. The story of Drishyam 2 begins right where the first one ended.
But there is a gap of 7 years here.
The film mainly revolves around the stubbornness and belief of two characters.
One is IG Meera Deshmukh (Tabu), who wants to see those who killed her son
behind bars under any circumstances. And the second is Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay
Devgan), who does not want to let his family suffer under any circumstances.
In the first film, Vijay Salgaonkar surprised the audience with his
intelligence. But now that we know him, here you will be waiting for every
next step of Victory. The script of the film, its twists and turns are
extremely effective.
Story
IG Meera Deshmukh's son is accidentally murdered at the hands of Vijay
Salgaonkar's daughter. Vijay burys the boy's corpse to save his family from
the police. The police make every effort, but they do not find the corpse. And
that's where 'Drishyam' ended. Now the story has gone on for 7 years. Vijay
Salgaonkar's family is trying to forget everything and live. He now also owns
a movie theater and wants to make a film on a story written by him. He has
also written the script, but is not happy with the climax. This film is just
Vijay's passion or he has some other intention behind it... Its revelation
brings a tremendous twist in a story.
However, he is working on a film with a writer Murad Ali (Saurabh Shukla) when
the police reopen the seven-year-old case.
Once again Vijay Salgaonkar, along with his wife Nandini (Shriya Saran) and
daughters Anju (Ishita Dutta) and Anu (Mrinal), are caught at the police
station. This time the police also have witnesses and evidence and the
responsibility of the case has been taken over by the new IG Tarun Ahlawat
(Akshaye Khanna). He along with Meera (Tabu) wants to see Vijay behind bars
along with the entire family. But will they succeed in their purpose? Or will
Vijay, with his wisdom, once again save his family from the clutches of the
law?
Acting
Ajay Devgan's re-creation in the role of Vijay Salgaonkar is commendable. The
story has progressed seven years, so there has been a change in the actor's
look. But the things Ajay Devgan says with his eyes and his style, it is very
interesting to see on the big screen. His encounter with Akshaye Khanna has
been in very few scenes, but as much as it has been, it has been quite
exciting. Akshaye Khanna has impressed with his effortless acting in the role
of IG Tarun Ahlawat. This time the entire investigation is their
responsibility, so Tabu's screen time in this film is very low, which is a bit
disturbing. At the same time, Rajat Kapoor, Shreya Saran, Ishita Dutta and
Mrinal Jadhav have done justice to their characters.
Direction
Drishyam was directed by Nishikant Kamat. Who died in the year 2020. Now
Abhishek Pathak has brought the sequel to the big screen. The thrill and hype
that the first film created among the audience, the director has tried his
best to keep it intact in the sequel. And they succeed in that too. Especially
in the second half, the film moves very fast and keeps you thrilled scene by
scene. Despite having many sub-plots in the film, the director has kept the
story tied to one end.
The technical side
Drishyam 2 is the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film of the same name.
Therefore, Jeethu Joseph, who has written the original story, should be
praised for the screenplay of the film. While it has been Hindi by Amil Keyan
Khan. The dialogues of the film are quite excellent. On the technical side,
Sandeep Francis' editing is tight and Devi Sri Prasad's background score
matches with the pace of the film.
What is good or bad
The positive things of the film, its screenplay. Especially the twists and
turns in the second half are tremendous and keep you constantly hooked to the
story. While the first half of the film is slow. By the interval, the film
engages in establishing new characters and storylines. And its impact is also
seen in the acting of the actors. As the story progresses, the strength in the
acting of the actors also increases. It is interesting to see Ajay Devgan and
Akshaye Khanna face to face.
Rating
'Drishyam' was finished by the makers at a juncture where the audience felt
that Vijay Salgaonkar had won. But the story of Drishyam 2 starts back from
that turn. To make a sequel, it is very important to have a strong screenplay.
And here the makers have not disappointed. There are some drawbacks in the
film, but there is no doubt that it has been quite interesting to be involved
once again in Vijay Salgaonkar's life. 'Drishyam 2' gets 3.0 stars from
coolbytesguru.
