The user wrote, “The CLIMAX TWIST of Drishyam 3 is BETTER than Drishyam 1 and 2. The Setup and Tense Moments are better than both the movies combined. Watch it to Believe it 💥💥💥 #DrishyamTheConclusion”
Interval sequence gets ‘mind blowing’ reaction
The interval portion also became a major talking point in one of the early X posts. The viewer highlighted Vijay Salgaonkar’s emotional state and the tension surrounding the character. The user wrote, “#Drishyam3 Interval: MIND BLOWING! I bet you have never seen Vijay Salgaonkar so helpless and angry at the same time, the tension they are creating in each and every scene I just can’t explain its getting better and better with every minute. #AjayDevgn is not speaking he’s just reacting to the situations and letting happen everything and that one dailogue before the interval itself says that WE ARE NOT READY FOR THE CLIMAX! i just hope the second half is also equally good as the first half. #DrishyamTheConclusion”

Hindi also fails..but it is better than malayalam version. #JaideepAhlawat and #PrakashRaj shines. #AjayDevgn #Tabu is same..”
