The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Devi Sri Prasad composed the film's soundtrack, with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Drishyam 2 was released on 18 November 2022, and received positive reviews with praise towards the performances, screenplay, cinematography and editing. The film grossed ₹100 crore (US$10 million) worldwide in four days and entered the 100 Crore Club in India within six days of release. Earning ₹345 crore (US$36 million) worldwide, Drishyam 2 emerged as a major commercial success, emerging as the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 and the 24th highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
