Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. The first Drishyam was perfect, and the sequel stretched it but still worked. A third? Hope they don't ruin the legacy. But Abhishek Pathak has done well so far, so let's see 🙏
October 2, 2026? That's so far away! But with Gandhi Jayanti release, they're aiming for a big festive weekend. The Drishyam franchise has that mass appeal plus critical acclaim—rare combination in Indian cinema. Hoping for a tight script! 🔥
Tabu and Ajay Devgn are the soul of this franchise. Shriya Saran returning is also great news. The teaser or first look should drop soon if shooting is wrapped. I'm guessing a Diwali 2025 teaser? 🤔
Finally! I've been waiting for this announcement since the sequel ended on that cliffhanger. The way they built suspense in Drishyam 2 was brilliant. Hope part 3 doesn't disappoint. Knowing Abhishek Pathak's attention to detail, I'm optimistic 😊
My only concern: will they try to make it too commercial? The beauty of Drishyam was its realistic, small-town setting and clever storytelling. Adding too many action sequences or songs might ruin the vibe. Hope they stay true to the original spirit. 🤞
