Abhishek Pathak on why ‘Drishyam 3: The Conclusion’ had to feel final

Director Abhishek Pathak has previously spoken about the challenge of making a third ‘Drishyam’ film while ensuring that it did not feel like another instalment added simply to extend the franchise.In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Pathak said the title itself placed a major responsibility on the team. “The biggest responsibility with this film was that it is called The Conclusion. You cannot just make another film and say this is Part 3. It has to actually take the characters somewhere and give the audience a feeling that this journey has reached its final point. It has to be a high!”The filmmaker said the writing process took considerable time because the story was complex and the team wanted the ending to feel earned. He also made it clear that he did not want the franchise to continue with another instalment simply for the sake of making a ‘Drishyam 4.’“It took us a lot of time to write it because it is not an easy film. It is a very complex and complicated story and we wanted to make sure that the conclusion felt earned. Even when people were asking why not Part 4, for me ‘Drishyam’ cannot go into 4 just for the sake of going into 4. It has to end on a very good note, and I feel this is a very good note,” Pathak told the afore mentioned publication.

How Abhishek Pathak connected the film to the ‘Drishyam’ universe

Pathak also revealed that the team revisited the first two films while developing the concluding chapter. The intention was to retain the details and emotional familiarity associated with the franchise while giving the third film its own identity.“I was very conscious that this is ‘Drishyam’ and people have a certain expectation from this world. So we have kept that detailing. When we were writing, we went back to the first two films and looked at the details and brought those elements into this film because I wanted people to feel that nostalgia and feel that all the parts are connected,” he said.At the same time, Pathak wanted the new film to move beyond simply reproducing elements audiences had already seen. “I really wanted to write it my own way, take the story ahead in the way I wanted and make my own version of the last part. So the world and the DNA are very much Drishyam, but the story and the way we have taken it forward is ours,” he added.
