Audience Perspective! Will Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 2 finally break the remake jinx and become a hit?

MUMBAI: 2022 has not been a great year for Bollywood, many films have proved to be disasters at the box office, and most of them were remakes. Bachchhan Paandey, Jersey, Nikamma, HIT: The First Case, Laal Singh Chaddha, Dobaaraa, Vikram Vedha, and Mili, all these films were remakes, and all of them were flops at the box office. Now, on 18th November 2022, one more remake is all set to release in theatres. We are talking about Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Shriya Saran starrer Drishyam 2.

In 2015, the Bollywood film titled Drishyam had hit the big screens and it was a hit at the box office. The movie was again a remake of a Malayalam film of the same name. The original movie starred Mohanlal in the lead role, and the sequel to the Malayalam movie was released on Amazon Prime Video in 2021.
