Drishyam 2

Seven years had passed since Vijay Salgaonkar, his wife Nandini, and their two children Geeta and Anju had successfully covered up a murder to protect their family from the harsh realities of the law. The Salgaonkars had breathed a sigh of relief as the case against them was closed due to lack of evidence. However, their tranquility was short-lived. A series of unexpected events was set in motion, one that would ultimately bring the truth to light and threaten to destroy everything the Salgaonkars had built over the years. The catalyst for these events lies in the release of Vijay Khiste, a man who was an eyewitness to the murder and had implicated the Salgaonkars. Vijay Khiste, who had been incarcerated for the crime he did not commit, is finally acquitted and released from prison. Initially, Khiste is not interested in pursuing the case against the Salgaonkars, but as he settles into his new life, the memories of the tragedy he witnessed come flooding back. Khiste starts to feel a renewed sense of responsibility to speak the truth and clear his name. Meanwhile, Vijay Salgaonkar is still living with the guilt of having covered up the murder. He is haunted by the memories of the night he disfigured the body of the murdered man, Sandeep Pandit, and threw it into the waters. A sense of unease lingers within him, making him anxious about being exposed. As the events unfold, a new police officer, Jayant Desai, is appointed to investigate a string of burglaries that had taken place in the Salgaonkar household over the years. Desai's inquiry sparks a renewed interest in the case, and eventually, he discovers evidence that leads him to Vijay Khiste. Khiste, who had initially wanted to move on with his life, finds himself being drawn back into the case. Desai's persistence and relentless pursuit of Khiste leads him to the truth. The truth that the Salgaonkars had long tried to conceal is now within Khiste's grasp, and he knows he cannot be silenced any longer. As the truth begins to unravel, Vijay Salgaonkar realizes that his family's lives are on the line. His children are now grown, and they are facing their own challenges. Geeta is in love with her boyfriend, Desh Bandekar, while Anju is getting married. Vijay knows that if the truth is revealed, it will not only destroy their reputation but also put their lives at risk. Determined to save his family, Vijay starts to manipulate events to his advantage. He uses his cunning and resourcefulness to create a web of deceit and misdirection, all while keeping Khiste at bay. However, Vijay's actions become increasingly desperate as the stakes rise. Meanwhile, Nandini Salgaonkar is aware of the events that are unfolding but chooses not to intervene, allowing Vijay to take matters into his own hands. This decision raises questions about her character and her relationship with Vijay. While Vijay's actions are motivated by a desire to protect his family, Nandini's passivity raises concerns about her own level of involvement in the cover-up and her willingness to let Vijay handle the situation. As the tension builds, Vijay becomes embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with Khiste and Desai. He uses various tactics to outsmart them, but ultimately, he realizes that the truth is bound to come out. In a final bid to save his family, Vijay concocts a plan that will either clear his family's name or land them in even deeper trouble.
