Drishyam 2 (The Resumption) Is A Must Watch

Drishyam 2 (The Resumption) is the first ever non Hindi language Indian movie that I have watched end to end totally depending only on subtitles! Well, age does not matter, there’s always a first time to do something interesting. But there is a very good reason why I did this. I have seen Drishyam (Hindi) multiple times and became a big fan. Only after I had seen it I got to know about the original Malayalam version. Now I do not know when would Drishyam would release in Hindi, I cannot keep a fan deprived of awesomeness for that long. Long story short, I could not resist not watching it when its easily available on Prime! Totally depending on subtitles is a tough ask when the dialogues are the main character in a suspense thriller. But I got into the grove soon enough. 

Drishyam 2 picks up 6 years after what happened in Drishyam 1. Watch the first movie if you forgotten things. I remember the story and every minute details so vividly that it was very easy for me to relate to the characters even when I have seen the first movie in Hindi and the actors were different. 

Be attentive to each and everything that is happening in the storyline, you may think something is happening just for fun but it might be linked to the something else later. Be alert. You have been warned. And if you are watching a Malayalam movie for the very first time then all the more reasons for you to focus more on the storyline instead of cribbing about the lack of glamour (if you have been spoilt by the glamsham of Bolloywood masala movies in the recent times).

The suspense builds up gradually but there are amazing twists and turns in the climax.  Much expected out of a Drishyam franchise. I would not up your expectations like the first part. But it’s not bad for a sequel. Most of the movie suck when they try making the sequel. Rock On is the best example, or shall i call it the worst? You get the drift.

This is also the first movie I have seen of the Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, I found him apt for this role (just how Ajay Devgan fits well in the Hindi version) and just natural. 

I recommend you watch it without distractions, if you are dependent on the subtitles.
