The first film introduced Vijay, a cable operator in Goa who gets caught in a nightmare when his daughter Anju accidentally kills Sam, the son of police officer Meera Deshmukh. Determined to protect his family, Vijay comes up with a detailed plan to cover up the crime. Vijay creates a carefully planned alibi and hides the body beneath a police station under construction.
Seven years later, Drishyam 2 sees the case reopened after the police recover skeletal remains believed to be Sam's. However, Vijay has already planned for this possibility and manages to switch the remains before the DNA test. With no proof that the remains belong to Sam, the case falls apart once again, allowing Vijay and his family to walk free.
What Happens In Drishyam: The Conclusion?
The third film takes the story forward as Vijay's old secret comes under fresh pressure. A new investigation brings Crime Branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar, played by Jaideep Ahlawat, into the case.
As new evidence begins to surface, Vijay once again has to protect his family while staying ahead of the investigation. The Hindi film is also expected to take a different route from the Malayalam third instalment, giving Vijay's story a separate ending.
