B | Drishyam 2 is finally set to get the theatrical run many fans felt it deserved. The makers have confirmed that the Drishyam sequel will release in cinemas across India on April 10, nearly four years after it premiered directly on Amazon Prime Video.A second chance for the big screenThe announcement comes as a silver lining for fans who were disappointed by the recent postponement of Drishyam 3 from April 2 to May 21. While the delay briefly dampened excitement, the theatrical arrival of the second instalment now offers audiences a chance to relive the story on the big screen before the next chapter unfolds.Released in 2021 during a time when theatres were still recovering from pandemic closures, Drishyam 2 skipped cinemas altogether and opted for a direct-to-digital premiere. Despite that, the film was widely watched and discussed, earning praise for its taut screenplay and cleverly constructed twists. However, a section of viewers had long expressed regret at not being able to experience its tension-filled narrative in a theatre setting. This April release addresses that long-standing demand.Revisiting Georgekutty’s mind gameDirected by Jeethu Joseph, the film continues the story of Georgekutty, played by Mohanlal, and his family as they remain under the shadow of a crime that refuses to fade away. Picking up years after the events of the first film, the sequel tracks the police force’s renewed efforts to uncover evidence and close the case once and for all. Drishyam 2, returns to where it truly belongs.In theatres from April 10th, 2026.#Drishyam2 @aashirvadcine @antonypbvr pic.twitter.com/cBGsLEPC1D — Mohanlal (@Mohanlal) March 25, 2026 At its core, Drishyam 2 thrives on psychological tension rather than spectacle. The narrative slowly tightens its grip as suspicions resurface and past secrets threaten to unravel. The film’s most talked-about aspect upon release was its climax, which delivered a twist that caught even seasoned viewers off guard. This blend of emotional stakes and narrative ingenuity cemented its place as one of the most compelling Indian thrillers in recent years.The film also sees the return of key cast members including Meena, reprising her role alongside Mohanlal. Their performances once again anchor the story, balancing familial vulnerability with the constant anxiety of being watched.All eyes on Drishyam 3The renewed spotlight on Drishyam 2 arrives at a crucial moment for the franchise. Drishyam 3 reunites Jeethu Joseph with producer Antony Perumbavoor and the lead cast, promising to take the story forward from its gripping second chapter.Originally scheduled for an April 2 release, the third instalment was postponed due to the volatile situation in the Gulf region amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia. The decision was made keeping in mind the film’s overseas market, which plays a significant role in its overall box office performance.Meanwhile, the Hindi adaptation of the franchise continues to build its own momentum. The third part, led by Ajay Devgn and directed by Abhishek Pathak, is currently slated for release on October 2, expanding the reach of the story to a wider audience.For now, the April 10 theatrical release of Drishyam 2 serves as both a nostalgic revisit and a strategic build-up. It allows audiences to step back into Georgekutty’s world, this time with the immersive intensity that only a cinema hall can offer, setting the stage for what promises to be another gripping chapter in May.Also Read: Alia Bhatt teams up with Drishyam 2 director Abhishek Pathak for Housewife。海拔1787.4米的它，被誉为“长三角物种基因库”，现存各类动植物5326种。正因如此，有人看上了这里丰富的物种，殊不知早已踩了红线。

C | 近日，杭州市临安区人民法院审结一起非法采挖国家重点保护野生植物案件。

D | 据了解，被告人刘某和赵某（均为化名）原计划上山采挖老鸦柿做成盆景售卖。两人一路开车，从临安城区往清凉峰镇石长城村方向驶去，车里还放着编织袋和铁铲。到山脚后，两人停车，背起工具徒步进入天目山—清凉峰生物圈保护区。山里的植被茂密，灌木丛中偶尔冒出几株形态特别的植物。赵某先发现了第一株。这株植物轮生的七片叶子托着一朵花，像一把撑开的伞，在山风中轻轻摇曳。“七叶一枝花。”刘某认出来了。二人对视一眼，心里都清楚，这东西不一般。七叶一枝花，学名重楼，国家重点保护野生植物，在民间被称为“蛇药王”，也是云南白药的重要成分。无论是采挖、运输，还是出售、收购，每一样都踩在法律红线上。

E | “我们经常上山，这个药很有效果。反正山这么大，没人看见。”赵某抱着侥幸心理，弯下腰，徒手扒开泥土，将它连根拔起，一株、两株、三株……两人越挖越顺手，从山脚到半坡，一路挖了18株七叶一枝花。两人下山后，被当地村民发现，并报警。

F | 经鉴定，这18株七叶一枝花未造成实际损毁，最后被种回了保护区。临安区法院审理认为，两名被告人违反国家规定，非法采挖国家重点保护植物，情节严重，行为已构成危害国家重点保护植物罪，最终判处二人有期徒刑并处罚金。不少人以为山上的野生植物可以随意采挖，这是非常错误的想法。案件承办法官提醒大家：根据《中华人民共和国自然保护区条例》相关规定，禁止在自然保护区内进行砍伐、放牧、狩猎、捕捞、采药、开垦、烧荒、开矿、采石、挖沙等活动。七叶一枝花、野生天麻、野生兰花、贝母、石斛等常见山野植物，均已被列入国家重点保护名录，尤其在保护区内，寸草勿动。
