Malayalam Cinema superstar Mohanlal, fondly called as Lalettan, shared the teaser of his upcoming flick Drishyam 2 online. And this was one of the best treats for all movie buffs who were eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the film. A sequel to the 2013 film of the same name, this Jeethu Joseph directorial will continue from what had happened in Drishyam. The teaser looked promising, gripping just like the first film. But what left all fans stunned was the makers’ decision to release Drishyam 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

Many wanted a theatrical experience, however, they still believe that the engaging narrative will make up for it. Let’s take a look at some of the posts shared by fans when it was confirmed that this film will be releasing on OTT platform. #7YearsOfIHDrishyam: Fans Celebrate The Success Of Mohanlal’s Epic Malayalam Thriller.

Being Positive
I'm not surprised!
I knew it would happen!
As long as Marakkar and Aarattu are theatrical releases, I have no issue with Drishyam 2 releasing on OTT.
But it would have been great to watch it on big screen#Drishyam2onprime

Fans Seem Disappointed About The OTT Release Idea
Like the climax of Drishyam the ott release of #Drishyam2 is also shocking and unexpected🙄
Now #Kurup is dubbed in all languages dont know whether the makers are planning for ott as there was no indication of release date in poster nor they mentioned like 'in Theatres'😐
