Ever since I watched Mohanlal as Georgekutty in one of the vital good suspense dramas of Indian Cinema, I used to be a fan of Jeethu Joseph and his world of storytelling. Actually, at one time limit, I desired to officiate him because the God of suspense dramas, but now I doubt it after watching the trailer of his next with Mohanlal. Drishyam 3 trailer is finally here, and to be honest, it’s giving less cult thriller and more Primetime drama vibes.
Psychological Drama Takes A Guilt Trip!
Truthfully, the sequel was a masterstroke that closed the loop and didn’t need any more twists. But it surely seems Jeethu Joseph has got too obsessed together with his own world and characters. The trailer for the third installment seems like a too-stretched version as Mohanlal goes on a guilt trip. Georgekutty is a cinema-obsessed genius, but at this point, even the ghosts of his past look uninterested in being summoned.
Drishyam 3 Is Shifting Gears
Drishyam 3 trailer hints at shifting the main target from psychology to emotions and the story enters a full-blown media trial. While the Media VS Law angle sounds mental on paper, the execution within the trailer screams an excessive amount of melodrama. The zooms on Mohanlal’s face, the high-octane background rating that overstays, and the moral policing – it checks all of the boxes. Georgekutty, who was once a subtle, terrifyingly relatable father, now seems like a tragic hero who’s stuck in a loop.
Jeethu Joseph is attempting to steer towards moral dilemmas, but the inspiration shouldn’t be looking promising. By turning a good suspense thriller right into a saga of Karma hits, the franchise is losing its soul. I hope it shouldn’t be the final franchise fatigue and is just a badly edited trailer. But I suppose we may have to attend and watch until the film arrives within the theaters on May 21.
Take a look at the trailer here.
