Bollywood has made a comeback, it seems. After several highly anticipated movies received an underwhelming response while South films kept sweeping the box office numbers, Drishyam 2 is apparently a game changer.
The movie is going strong at the box office and receiving a great response from audiences and critics alike that not just the industry but even the makers of the Ajay Devgn-Tabu starrer are bowled over.

Director Abhishek Pathak whose last film was Sunny Singh starrer Ujda Chaman says the movie has gone beyond his wildest dreams.
"It is overwhelming! I knew I made an honest film that was not a blind remake of the original. Everyone in my team worked really hard on this. I expected the first-day collections to be good. But then it has just gone beyond my expectations. I am really happy," he was quoted as saying by Etimes.

The movie which is a remake of the Malayam movie of the same name has so far minted about Rs 70 crores in the opening weekend, and the collections are only growing. With the success, the number of screens and shows are increasing further.
The demand is so huge that exhibitors have added early morning shows that start as early as 6 am and post-mid-night shows at 12:30 am. For instance, Maxus Borivali played shows of Drishyam 2 at 12:30 AM, 6:00 AM, 6:45 AM and 7:30 AM.
Even Kangana Ranaut has praised Drishyam 2

Kangana Ranaut credited Tabu for the success of the film and furthermore, she praised her for single-handedly delivering back-to-back hits like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Kangana wrote, "Only two Hindi films have worked this year Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Drishyam 2¡And both films have superstar @tabutiful ji in the central roles, slaying in her 50s¡single-handedly saving the Hindi film industry¡her talent and consistency has never been questioned but to look her best and reach the peak of her stardom in her fifties is commendable¡I think women deserve much more credit for their unwavering dedication to their work¡such an inspiration."
#Drishyam2 has not only brought back audiences to the theatres but has more importantly brought back HOPE to the industry.
