Drishyam 3 trailer: Mohanlal's Georgekutty faces ghosts of his past.
Drishyam 3 trailer: Twenty days after joining forces with fellow Malayalam superstar Mammootty for Mahesh Narayanan’s action thriller Patriot, Mohanlal returns to the familiar turf of Jeethu Joseph’s crime thriller franchise Drishyam. The makers dropped the trailer of the upcoming threequel, Drishyam 3, on Saturday evening, which reopens the never-ending case of Mohanlal’s resourceful character Georgekutty and his family.
What’s in the Drishyam 3 trailer?
The trailer of Drishyam 3 opens with a word of caution for Georgekutty’s family, much to their horrors — “The police, and a large section of society, know exactly what the truth is in this case.” As mist (and smoke) surrounds Georgekutty’s countryside home, even members of the media confess to their inability to penetrate the man. “He’s incredibly shy. No wonder even the police called it quits,” they say. Even the police admit they’re fans of Georgekutty because he anticipates their next moves and plans the counter much ahead of them.
As his family shares a meal at the dining table, Georgekutty seems preoccupied, listening to something on his smartphone. When his wife Rani George (Meena) asks him if their troubles aren’t yet over like he promised, he sticks to silence. “Why don’t you tell your family about the acid?”, Georgekutty is asked, only for him to spill the truth he’d kept to himself all this while — “When they learn what I did, what if they start thinking their father is a criminal? I’m starting to think myself that way, so why wouldn’t they?”
As Georgekutty confronts the ghosts of his past, he soon realizes that even the investigation against his family isn’t over yet. The media digs deeper into the case, not swayed by the ways of “the crafty fox” that is Georgetty, and unearths an evidence that makes the police reopen the case against him and his family. Georgekutty shows a rare sign of shock and anticipatory defeat as he discovers something on his smartphone towards the end of the trailer.
