Drishyam: The Conclusion Review Roundup — Critics Call It a Gripping, Earned Finale

A week after release, the critics’ verdict on Drishyam: The Conclusion is clear — this is a finale that works. Aggregating eight national reviews, Sacnilk’s review-of-reviews scores the film 71/100, with four positive and four mixed verdicts and not a single outright negative.

The high end: Bollywood Hungama’s Taran Adarsh went 4.5/5, calling it a sure-shot blockbuster; Pinkvilla and Glamsham both landed at 4–4.5/5, praising Ajay Devgn’s command of the screen and a gripping climax. The middle: Filmfare, Cinema Express, THR India’s Rahul Desai and 123telugu all gave 3.5/5 — admiring the performances and the final twist while flagging a slow, patience-testing first half. Hindustan Times, India Today, News18 and The Indian Express settled at 3/5, with The Indian Express noting the “terrific Ajay Devgn-Tabu” pairing gives the saga the conclusion it deserved.

The consensus: Devgn remains the rock-solid centre, Tabu supplies the emotional devastation, and newcomers Jaideep Ahlawat (as crime-branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar) and Prakash Raj add fresh fire. The film doesn’t reinvent the thriller — it gives a hugely popular franchise an ending that feels earned.
