The Ajay Devgn movie enjoyed the third-highest opening at Rs 15. 38 crore, just after the Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt movie ‘Brahmastra’ and the Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Sooryavanshi’.

The film sees Devgn and Tabu reprise their roles - Vijay Salgaonkar and Meera Deshmukh respectively. The cast of the 2015 movie ‘Drishyam’ which includes Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, etc is also present in the sequel. Akshaye Khanna is the new addition to the cast of ‘Drishyam 2’. The movie is an official remake of the 2021 Malayalam movie that starred Mohanlal in the leading role.

Earlier in an interview with the news agency PTI, Pathak claimed that although the movie is heavily inspired by the Malayalam movie, the screenplay has been tweaked and necessary adjustments have been made to ensure the story was not a carbon copy of the original and matched the sensibilities of the Hindi speaking audience. “There is no point in making a frame-to-frame remake. You are not doing anything as a director if you do that. You have to bring your vision to the table. Also, if it’s a copy, people will talk about that aspect. It will spread via word of mouth and reduce your audience. Why would you want to take that chance?” the director was quoted as saying
