Drishyam 2 is the sequel to the 2015 film Drishyam. Both films are remakes of Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam films of the same names. It received a good response from critics for its gripping story and tight screenplay. Talks are on for the possibility of making the third part.

Experts say that Drishyam 2 worked at the box office because of its existing fanbase, able adaptation and the unavailability of the Malayalam original’s Hindi dubbed version.
