What happens

Drishyam 2: The Resumption is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language crime thriller film written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. It was produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. A sequel to the 2013 film Drishyam and second instalment in the Drishyam film series, the film stars Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, and Siddique. Jeethu Joseph wrote the script for Drishyam 2 during a pause in production for his other film Ram, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was officially announced on 21 May 2020, coinciding with Mohanlal's 60th birthday. Principal photography began on 21 September 2020 and wrapped on 6 November 2020, following strict safety protocols. The film was shot over 46 days, primarily in and around Thodupuzha, retaining the same locations used in the first film, with additional scenes shot in Kochi. Anil Johnson composed the music and film score, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Satheesh Kurup and V. S. Vinayak, respectively. Originally intended for a theatrical release, the producers later opted to release the film through the streaming service Amazon Prime Video. Drishyam 2 was released worldwide on 19 February 2021. Like its predecessor, it received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise for its narrative and performance, particularly Mohanlal's. It was scheduled for a theatrical Re release on 10 April 2026, several years after its initial direct-to-video premiere. The third instalment in the franchise Drishyam 3 was released on 21 May 2026.
