Drishyam 2 stays remarkably true to the original’s focus on narrative and suspense over forced representation or box-ticking. Characters are written for their roles, not as statements of identity politics, and the plot prioritizes family, tension, and wit instead of ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

Drishyam 2 offers conflict rooted in believable interpersonal dynamics, not ideological showdowns. There’s no cartoonish villainization of traditional values; opposing perspectives are sincere, and the story avoids lecturing viewers.
