Jeethu Joseph on criticism of Drishyam execution
Over the years, Jeethu`s films have sparked discussions about their visual presentation. Viewers have questioned the technical quality, often comparing it to television-style execution. Despite the criticism, the director has maintained his approach rooted in his creative preferences.
During a recent interaction with The New Indian Express, Jeethu Joseph explained, “In most films today, you can see a kind of colourful lighting style. When it comes to my films, that difference is not due to any fault of my team. It is because I prefer things to look more realistic.” He also noted the influence of negative comments online, saying, “I have personally seen posts targeting certain individuals. There are some people who consistently write negative comments for every film.”
No more Drishyam
In an interaction with Silly Monk Malayalam, Jeethu Joseph confirmed that Mohanlal`s Drishyam 3 will mark the end of the franchise. The director revealed that he has no plans to continue the series beyond the upcoming instalment. “I have not even thought of it in my dreams. I am trying to end this because even people are asking me to stop it. That’s why I am thinking this way,” he said.
