Joginder Tuteja

This Mohanlal suspense drama may well go down as yet another modern day classic, raves Joginder Tuteja. You will probably hear a lot about an 'alternate climax' in the days and weeks to come. After all, it makes such a strong point in Drishyam 2 that it would be difficult to escape from it for a long time. Revealing more than this would be a spoiler but I have to admit that like its precursor, Drishyam 2 also has a climax that no one can see coming. Director Jeethu Joseph follows the same template in the sequel as in the original. He takes his time to set up the base of the film, and then set up a tense atmosphere. But the last 30-40 minutes lend such a super strong impact that it may force you to watch the film all over again.

If the film had been crisper with solid drama in the second half too, The Power could have been more powerful.
