Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph have arrived with their much-awaited crime thriller, Drishyam 3. The expectations are massive, and the thrill is sky high, especially because the discharge coincides with the Malayalam superstar’s sixty fifth birthday. But is it value a watch? The polarised reviews on X have left us in a dilemma. Scroll below to know what the cine-goers need to say.
The Drishyam franchise enjoys an enormous fan base, a lot in order that the makers needed to remake it in Hindi with Ajay Devgn within the lead. The Malayalam threequel witnesses Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, Siddique, and Asha Sarath reprise their much-loved characters. The trailer hit the proper chords, and it has all of the potential to be a box office blockbuster.
Drishyam 3 X Review: Blockbuster or Lacklustre?
Unfortunately, the early reviews on X are quite mixed. Cine-goers have unanimously agreed that the primary half is slow-paced, but that isn’t the one issue. The second half has left viewers divided. While a bit praises the “banger” climax, the opposite half feels it didn’t live up upto the standards of its predecessor. Mohanlal continues to receive massive love, but movie buffs are usually not comfortable with Jeethu Joseph.
A review on X read, “#Drishyam3 – AVERAGE but Enough For a possible INDUSTRY HIT! FH began off slowly with a Terrific interval Bang whereas second half felt totally average. Essentially the most awaited climax was so disappointing for me but the identical time this is sufficient to quench the “twisty” thirst of individuals.”

“#Drishyam3 – Not Predictable but Not Impressive. Jeethu has written a reasonably good script but presentation towards the top wasn’t effective as the opposite 2 movies. #Mohanlal’s towering presence was the main highlight,” a review said.
