The film explores Georgekutty’s emotional burden beyond suspense
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, “Drishyam 3” focuses on the emotional and psychological consequences of earlier events instead of focusing entirely on suspense.ETimes, in its review, stated: “Jeethu Joseph tries to explore guilt, paranoia and psychological exhaustion more than suspense this time. The focus is not entirely on research or survival, but on how violence continues silently within relationships, memory and everyday life. Georgekutty’s greatest punishment is not prison, but the inability to live without fear.’The review added: “At the same time, the film reveals and to some extent glorifies how anti-heroes are romanticized by cinema and society. Georgekutty is not projected as a criminal, but as an ordinary man who becomes a ‘superhero’ through intelligence and survival instincts. This emotional gathering becomes a social problem.” Viewers continue to justify violence, manipulation and crime because it is done in the name of protecting the family.“DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article have been collected from public and industry sources.
