Almost every character in Drishyam’s universe operates in the grey, from Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar to Tabu’s Meera Deshmukh. That’s something director Abhishek Pathak knew as he sat down to write Drishyam: The Conclusion. His objective was to ensure that Tabu’s character — a mother seeking answers to her son’s murder for years — did not tilt towards all-black in the final chapter of the suspense thriller.  

According to him, her character’s journey of closure and revenge is the spine of Drishyam: The Conclusion. “She tried to go by the book in part one and even two, but now she wants to go a different way. [Going by the book] is not how she believes justice will be served. It will be interesting to watch how the Deshmukhs will change their way in this film,” said Pathak.
