Drishyam: The Conclusion has received an enthusiastic early review ahead of its theatrical release on October 2, with a 4.5/5 rating from one published review. The final chapter of the popular franchise brings back Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, alongside Tabu, Shriya Saran and Ishita Dutta, while Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj join the franchise in important roles.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, who also helmed Drishyam 2, the film continues Vijay Salgaonkar’s battle to protect his family as new threats emerge. The latest review particularly praises the film for moving the story forward instead of simply repeating the formula established by its predecessors.
Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat Face-Off
According to the review, one of the biggest highlights is the confrontation between Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat in the first half. Ahlawat plays crime branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar, who is determined to uncover the truth surrounding Vijay and his family’s carefully protected secrets.
The review describes their face-off as one of the film’s major strengths, with Devgn once again bringing intensity to the role of Vijay Salgaonkar.
Courtroom Sequences and Climax
The courtroom portions are also highlighted as major positives. The review particularly points to an early sequence involving Prakash Raj, Ajay Devgn and his family as an effective moment in the film.
However, the biggest question surrounding any Drishyam film is its climax. The review claims that the finale delivers a powerful and satisfying conclusion, describing it as gripping and fulfilling without revealing the key twists.
Performances Receive Praise
Jaideep Ahlawat is singled out for his controlled and commanding performance, while Tabu is praised for portraying anger, hurt, revenge and determination.
Prakash Raj is also described as adding authority and weight to the proceedings. Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor and Kamlesh Sawant receive positive mentions, while Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav are described as adequate in their respective roles.
The review also praises the film’s background score, saying it significantly strengthens the tension and drama despite the narrative having limited scope for traditional songs.
Final Verdict
The early review describes Drishyam: The Conclusion as a strong finale that delivers on its franchise expectations. With Ajay Devgn returning as Vijay Salgaonkar, Abhishek Pathak directing and Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj adding new dimensions to the story, the film arrives in theatres on October 2, 2026.
