Drishyam 2

Drishyam 2 is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language crime thriller film written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film was produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. A sequel to the 2013 film Drishyam and the second installment in the Drishyam franchise, the film stars Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sharath.

Jeethu wrote the script for Drishyam 2 when the production work for his other film, Ram, got interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After a formal announcement made on Mohanlal's 60th birthday, 21 May 2020, principal photography began on 21 September and concluded on 6 November 2020, while adhering to safety precautions set for preventing the spread of COVID-19. The film was shot extensively for 46 days in and around Thodupuzha in the same locations as Drishyam, with some scenes in Kochi. Anil Johnson composed the songs and score. Satheesh Kurup handled the cinematography and V. S. Vinayak edited the film.

Originally planned for a theatrical release, the producers later opted to release the film through the streaming service Amazon Prime Video. The film was released worldwide on 19 February 2021. Like its predecessor, it received widespread critical acclaim, praising the narration style and performances (especially of Mohanlal). The team has officially confirmed the production of the third installment in the Drishyam film series, titled Drishyam 3 will release in April 2026.. Drishyam 2 has been remade in several languages including Drushyam 2 (2021) Telugu, Drishya 2 (2021) Kannada, Drishyam 2 (2022) Hindi, Dharmayuddhayya 2 (2026) in Sinhala.
