Drishyam 3 Movie Reviews:

As per Lensmen Review, in Drishyam 3, Jeethu Joseph pushes the story towards the emotional evolution of the main character, and yet he manages to create that quintessential wow moment, which comes out of a shock rather than a twist.

Further, the review report added that Drishyam 3 is not really trying to celebrate Georgekutty as this unbreakable man. At one point, one of the twists in the movie leads to a scenario where he feels guilty of ignoring someone. And Jeethu Joseph even draws a parallel between Georgekutty and Varun. The idea of Georgekutty getting intimidated by thinking about himself is what adds a sense of freshness to the movie. If you are looking for one more iteration of Georgekutti fooling the police, the chances of you feeling disappointed are high. But if you are interested in knowing the psyche of a man who has a criminal mind and a family to protect, there is enough juice in this content.

Also, 123Telugu report said, on the whole, Drishyam 3 doesn't match the brilliance of the first and second installments of the franchise and works only in bits and pieces. The first half starts slow, the interval is decent, and the second half initially engages, but as the film moves towards the climax, the impact drops considerably due to the similar screenplay structure experienced before. The twists aren't solid, and the emotions aren't presented well. Drishyam 3 is not a bad film, but it doesn't entirely meet expectations due to the standard that Jeethu Joseph himself set with the past two films.
