Lives up to the mammoth expectations… This is, without doubt, the BEST FILM in the Drishyam franchise and also among the BEST FILMS of 2026… SURE-SHOT BLOCKBUSTER. Final word?

Drishyam 3 proves that even Georgekutty's genius can't outsmart the exhausting weight of a needlessly stretched franchise.

Drishyam 3 had the potential to tell a poignant story of a father who is slowly unravelled by his paranoia. It's unfortunate that Jeethu's idea doesn't translate into an engaging film.

While the film has some meaty ideas that could make for a brilliant thriller, it settles for less because of its writing.

I am not saying that Drishyam 3 is a great movie — it really isn't! But Jeethu hasn't ruined the franchise's reputation this time either, which, in itself, is a big deal at this point.

Drishyam 3 seems to be that same threequel that is dying a slow death in the shadow of its own brilliance.

That emotional manipulation of morality remains the core strength of the franchise, and perhaps also its only strength in this installment, as the narrative largely relies on predictability and lack of suspense.

As to whether Drishyam 3 is a worthy “conclusion” to this saga, it’s hard to say, considering we’re left with the promise, or potential, for another instalment.

Mohanlal delivers a deeply internalised performance in a thoughtful, emotionally layered thriller that values introspection over twists.

Mohanlal returns as Georgekutty in Drishyam 3, a slow-burn emotional thriller with a gripping narrative.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
