Director Jeethu Joseph's third film in the Drishyam franchise, starring Mohanlal, is out in theatres. The early reviews have been mixed about Drishyam 3, which picks up the story of Georgekutty following the events of the second part. While many viewers praise Mohanlal's performance in the film and make a special note of its interval block and climax, the audience has largely been disappointed about the writing by Jeethu Joseph.
Several audiences say that the film follows the same storytelling style of Drishyam 2, with a narrative that drags. A user wrote, "The real flaw of Drishyam 3 is that the writing couldn't salvage Jeethu’s flat, uninspired visual execution. I held out hope for a redemptive third act, but it ultimately fizzles out into a completely forgettable farewell to Georgekutty! Wasted."
However, there are also positive reviews for the film. One user, named Mohammed Ihsan, called it "absolute peak cinema" and "a truly worthy threequel to the franchise". The user gave a strong recommendation for the film's theatrical viewing. "Drishyam can now hold the title of the greatest trilogy ever made in Indian cinema," the user added.A u
Another user said that the film has an open ending. "Drishyam 3 ends on an open note for another part. It has its negatives, but the positives manage to cover most of them," the user wrote.
The film also marks the return of Meena, Esther Anil, Ansiba Hassan, Siddique, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sharath, among others. Despite the mixed reviews, it is worth noting that director Jeethu and actor Mohanlal have told the audience not to expect major twists from the third part and that it is rather a family drama.
