Drishyam 2 (2021)
7/10
A good story/writing, could have executed better.
19 February 2021
A sequel is not always expected highly, likewise, I didn't expect a good sequel here. Moreover, not all Jeetu Joseph movies are good, so my expectations were low.

Movie started with something being off, something was clearly missing. The execution wasn't going well even though story was going smooth. Some scenes were unnecessary and we can see that some explanations being given were not required at that moment and you can guess that it maybe important during the climax. Although the lead actors were doing a commendable job, the side roles like auto drivers, or common people around were really bad and that could have been avoided when the movie was being made in such a huge scale with spectacular production. In one word, the production value/quality was not upto the mark comparing to all Lijo Jose P movies, Ashiq Abu movies, Dilish Pothan movies, and recent Kumbalangi Nights etc.

It's brilliantly written. A good job by Jeetu Joseph for writing such a fresh non-inspired sequel to the alleged inspired first part. Good twists, even though you can guess few things because those scenes were not so necessary in some parts. The leads did great job. Feels like a bit stretched, could have been crisper.

Keeping all the downs a side, it's a worthy watch if you love the first part. Don't keep your expectations too high, because I felt something is off in execution of this brilliantly written story.
