Our take
The third Hindi installment in the Drishyam franchise is due in theaters in October 2026. The series follows a father protecting his family after a past crime resurfaces. Expect tense investigations, moderate violence and mature themes around cover-ups and police pressure. Best for ages 14 and up who can handle crime-thriller suspense.
Uplifting themes
