Spoiler Alert: This article contains major spoilers about the story of Mohanlal starrer ‘Drishyam 3’. Reader discretion is advised if you haven’t watched the film yet.With ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ set to hit cinemas on October 2, 2026, fans of the franchise are revisiting the Malayalam series to understand how Georgekutty’s story unfolds in its third chapter. Mohanlal returns in ‘Drishyam 3: The Past Never Stays Silent’, which reportedly moves the story forward by five years and introduces another threat connected to the events surrounding Varun’s death.While the Hindi ‘Drishyam’ franchise began as an adaptation of the Malayalam films, Ajay Devgn’s ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ is reported to take a different narrative route. The film is said to feature an original story rather than directly adapting the events of Mohanlal’s third instalment.
Georgekutty’s past comes back to haunt him
Five years after the events of ‘Drishyam 2’, Georgekutty appears to have built a relatively settled life with his family. His past, however, continues to follow him. The events surrounding Varun’s disappearance have even become the basis for a film, bringing renewed attention to the case. That apparent normalcy begins to unravel when people connected to the old investigation start revisiting what happened. Journalists and former police officials once again examine the circumstances surrounding Varun’s death, forcing Georgekutty to confront the possibility that the secrets he has protected for years could resurface.
Anju becomes part of a new conspiracy
The threat becomes more personal when Georgekutty’s daughter Anju is drawn into a situation that could potentially connect her to the old case. A marriage proposal involving Avira, a businessman based in the UAE, reportedly becomes an important part of the new conspiracy. An incident is allegedly engineered in a way that could make Anju appear responsible for Avira’s death, while simultaneously creating links to the circumstances surrounding Varun. Meanwhile, Rani notices suspicious activity around the family’s plantation. Georgekutty also discovers a refilled pit, further raising his suspicions that someone is deliberately attempting to uncover information connected to the past.As the mystery deepens, Georgekutty once again finds himself trying to protect his family while preventing the truth surrounding Varun from coming to light.
Mohanlal returns as Georgekutty
Written and directed by Jeethu Joseph, ‘Drishyam 3: The Past Never Stays Silent’ brings Mohanlal back as Georgekutty. Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Kalabhavan Shajon, Siddique, Murali Gopy and Asha Sharath are also part of the cast.The Malayalam film reportedly earned around Rs 239 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk, making it the highest-grossing instalment in the franchise based on the reported figures.
Will Ajay Devgn’s ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ follow the same story?
This is where the two franchises are expected to diverge. While the Malayalam series continues Georgekutty’s story through the events of ‘Drishyam 3’, ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ is reported to tell an original story rather than adapt the plot of the Malayalam third instalment. Ajay Devgn returns as Vijay Salgaonkar in the Hindi film, with Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav in key roles.Directed by Abhishek Pathak, ‘Drishyam: The Conclusion’ is scheduled to release in theatres on October 2, 2026. This means audiences familiar with Georgekutty’s latest chapter should not necessarily expect Vijay Salgaonkar’s final story to follow the same chain of events.
