Drishyam 2 (transl. Visual 2) is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Abhishek Pathak and produced by Panorama Studios, T-Series Films and Viacom18 Studios.

Soon after the release of the original film in February 2021, the remake came into development and was finalized within the same year.

All actors from the predecessor were retained, with Khanna as new addition. Principal photography occurred from February to June 2022, primarily in Goa besides Mumbai and Hyderabad. Devi Sri Prasad composed the film's soundtrack, with lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Released on 18 November 2022, Drishyam 2 opened to positive reviews with critical acclaim directed upon the performances, writing, cinematography and editing. The film grossed ₹100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide in four days and entered the 100 Crore Club in India within six days of release. Earning ₹345 crore (US$41 million) worldwide, Drishyam 2 emerged as a major financial success, becoming the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 and the 24th highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.
