Faceoff between #AjayDevgan and #JaideepAhlawat was worth watching. Especially the scenes of Gaitonde🤣👌 Family audience was enjoying the show a lot🔥 Blockbuster."
Urging the audience to watch the film, one X user wrote, "BRILLIANT writing & BGM alongwith Strong performance from cast. Twists are unpredictable which is positive point for a thriller. GO FOR IT."
Comparing the Hindi version with Mohanlal's Malayalam counterpart, one user shared mixed reactions and wrote, "#Drishyam3 in Malayalam was a disappointment as it failed to match part 1. Hindi also fails..but it is better than malayalam version."
Another X user shared a three-point review for Drishyam 3, praising Ajay Devgn’s performance, Abhishek Pathak’s changes to the story and the way Devgn allows his co-stars. The review read, "3 line review of Drishyam 3 Hindi:
1) Ajay Devgn is a better actor than Mohanlal

One more user hailed the climax and jotted, "The CLIMAX TWIST of Drishyam 3 is BETTER than Drishyam 1 and 2. The Setup and Tense Moments are better than both the movies combined. Watch it to Believe it 💥💥💥 #DrishyamTheConclusion."
One X user wrote a full-fledged review of Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 and called it one that hits different. Rating it 4.5 out of 5, the review read, "Abhishek Pathak has done solid work with the direction. I expected the story to be complicated, but every twist connects so cleanly that the flow never breaks. The film keeps you hooked the whole way — there’s no moment where it gets boring.
The best part: the light comedy sprinkled in between is perfectly timed. The first half sets things up and feels fairly normal… but once the second half kicks in, it’s hard to predict what comes next. “What will Ajay Devgn do now?”, “Oh, how did that happen?” — these are the things that keep you locked in till the end."
It also recalled Akshaye Khanna’s iconic performance in Drishyam 2, writing, "Akshay Khanna’s performance in Drishyam 2 is still memorable. But once you watch Jaideep Ahlawat, that impression starts to fade."
It continued by praising Ajay Devgn's role. " sir, you didn’t just give Vijay Salgaonkar a character — you gave him a way of thinking. Drishyam 3 is another strong chapter in your acting — would love to hear even a one-line reaction.🤗"
WION's review of Drishyam: The Conclusion
According to WION's Pragati Awati, "the first two parts had the story divided perfectly among the characters, here all the focus has shifted to Vijay and how and where he hid Sam's skeleton. With not much serious dialogue-baazi (most was done by Jaideep), this movie moves ahead with its expressions, story and actors. The first half of the movie establishes the plot with its omniscient tone, but midway through the movie it does feel a little stretched. The courtroom part is brief and works in favour of the plot. I don't want to talk about the climax, as it should be left to be enjoyed in cinemas.”
About Drishyam: The Conclusion
