Drishyam 3, the latest installment in the popular Malayalam franchise, struggles to maintain the ingenuity and thrilling narrative of its predecessors, with Georgekutty's once-brilliant facade showing significant cracks, leading to a convoluted plot and a less engaging antagonist-driven conflict.
The highly-anticipated Drishyam 3 teaser has dropped, promising a gripping continuation of Georgekutty's relentless battle to safeguard his family, with Mohanlal returning to face new, unseen threats.
From the genius of Drishyam to the misfires of Mirage, here's ranking every Malayalam thriller directed by Jeethu Joseph before Georgekutty returns in Drishyam 3.
Bollywood is gearing up for a romantic May, with a diverse slate of films including romcoms, historical epics and family dramas.
Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam emerges as a surprisingly superior sequel, boldly transitioning from a slice-of-life narrative to a dark comedy crime-thriller, observes Sreeju Sudhakaran.
The curse of stardom, especially in a country like India -- which wants its Gods to be tidy and punctilious -- is that stardom forces you to stop exploring the frozen sea inside you, and instead inspires you more and more to perform out of a small puddle, observes Sreehari Nair.
Subtlety has never been a strong suit of Bollywood remakes. They cannot resist adding that extra something or going overboard, sighs Sukanya Verma.
'I don't know whether this curse will be lifted or not. It's in the hands of the audience.'

After facing the camera for the first time with Gulmohar, filmmaker Ranjith all set to welcome this Onam with Thirakkadha, which he has scripted and directed. The film will have Prithviraj and Priyamani in lead roles.
'Every film cannot do a business of Rs 200 crore.'
Mohanlal plays a villager in the film which is set to release on Christmas.
Gehraiyaan seems to be aurally thin, which serves as a clue to the larger issues plaguing the movie, observes Rohit Sathish Nair.
Drishyam 2 fulfills all the criteria required for a blockbuster in terms of story, message, performances and execution, aplauds Divya Nair.
'I thought either Rajnikanth or Kamal Haasan should do Papanasam. Rajni sir liked it but was not sure about how his fans would accept certain scenes, if he were to do it. Like the scene where he is beaten up by a cop. Kamal sir loved the film and agreed to do it. Later, Rajni sir was willing to take it up but by then, the project was already on with Kamal sir.' Director Jeethu Joseph discusses his well-reviewed film.
'The true conceit of Drishyam is that it makes its audience an honorary accomplice in the crimes that its lead characters commit.'
Review: Papanasam is a worthy remake of Drishyam!
