Film explores Georgekutty’s emotional burden beyond suspense
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, ‘Drishyam 3’ shifts attention toward the emotional and psychological consequences of earlier events rather than focusing entirely on suspense.ETimes, in its review, noted: “Jeethu Joseph attempts to explore guilt, paranoia, and psychological exhaustion more than suspense this time. The focus is not entirely on investigation or survival, but on how violence silently continues to exist inside relationships, memory, and everyday life. Georgekutty’s greatest punishment is not prison, but the inability to live without fear.”The review further added: “At the same time, the film also exposes and to an extent glorifies, how cinema and society romanticise antiheroes. Georgekutty is projected not as a criminal, but as a common man who transforms into a “superhero” through intelligence and survival instinct. That emotional packaging becomes socially problematic. Audience continue to justify violence, manipulation, and crime because they are committed in the name of family protection.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
