Mohanlal watches Ajay Devgn’s ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’. What impressed the Malayalam superstar?

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has praised Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam: The Conclusion, congratulating the film’s director, cast and crew for bringing the popular crime thriller franchise to a close. The actor, whose Malayalam film Drishyam inspired the Hindi remake, said he was impressed by how the makers had concluded the much-loved story.

In a video shared by the film’s production banner on its official Instagram account on Monday, Mohanlal spoke about watching the latest instalment and praised the team behind the film.

“I have watched the film, and I am impressed by the way they have brought this much-loved journey to an end. Congratulations to Abhishek Pathak, Ajay Devgn and the entire cast and crew... So well done,” he said.



The appreciation from Mohanlal is significant given his association with the franchise, which began with the original Malayalam film and subsequently inspired a successful Hindi adaptation starring Devgn.

The production house of Drishyam: The Conclusion banner shared a video of Mohanlal on the official Instagram handle.

“Drishyam: The Conclusion” is a Panorama Studios production presented by Star Studio18, and has been written by Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan and Parveez Shaikh.

Mohanlal praises Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Pathak

In his message, Mohanlal acknowledged the effort involved in concluding a story that has attracted audiences across languages. Rather than limiting his praise to the lead actor, he congratulated director Abhishek Pathak and the entire cast and crew for their work on the final chapter.

Drishyam: The Conclusion, directed by Pathak, marks the third and final instalment in the Hindi franchise. The film was released in cinemas on October 2 and brings Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar, the cable operator who finds himself embroiled in a prolonged cat-and-mouse game with the police while trying to protect his family.


The film continues the story of a man who goes to extraordinary lengths to shield his loved ones after his daughter becomes involved in a crime. Suspense, unexpected developments and the battle between Vijay and the investigating authorities have remained central to the franchise.

‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ crosses Rs 500 crore worldwide

Alongside Devgn, the latest instalment features returning cast members Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav. Jaideep Ahlawat joins the franchise as Rajveer Singh Tomar, a crime branch officer pursuing the case.

The Hindi franchise began with Drishyam in 2015, directed by the late Nishikant Kamat. It was adapted from the Malayalam film of the same name, which starred Mohanlal in the lead role and was released in 2013.

The story continued with Drishyam 2 in 2022, which became one of the year's highest-grossing Hindi films.

Mohanlal’s praise comes as the final Hindi instalment continues its strong theatrical run. The film crossed the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide within four days of release and has now crossed the Rs 500 crore milestone.
