Mohanlal’s terrific return in #Drishyam2 and how the actor uses his eyes to his strength at a time when people are critical of the change in his eyes reminds me of his performance in Chandralekha in 90’s. It again came when people were critical of the change in his voice then, especially during movies like The Prince. Mohanlal perhaps had his first weak year in 1996 after 12 or more great years. Most doubted if the actor could regain his old charm in voice. The terrific job in Chandralekha in 1997 though put those apprehensions to rest. The biggest takeaway from Drishyam 2 is that you could now go into Mohanlal movies believing that his restrained method of acting is as intact as ever. (I have to admit I had my own doubts as well) A look back at some of the moments that still stays with you after few days.
