20 Apr
Summary
- Director Jeethu Joseph defends his films' realistic visual style.
- He attributes criticism to deliberate choices and targeted negativity.
- 'Drishyam 3' will explore a different storytelling path, releasing May 21.
Filmmaker Jeethu Joseph, known for gripping narratives like 'Drishyam,' has responded to critiques of his films' technical execution. Audiences have frequently labeled his work as having "serial-level" making, prompting Joseph to clarify his artistic intentions. He explained in a recent interview that his preference for realism drives the visual tone, contrasting with the prevalent colorful lighting styles in many contemporary films.
Joseph highlighted that this distinct aesthetic is not a failing of his team but a conscious choice for authenticity. He also pointed to external factors contributing to the criticism, including persistent negative comments from specific individuals and the subsequent influence on general audiences. The director affirmed that aspects like art direction are sometimes deliberately controlled to ensure a grounded, realistic feel in his productions.
Looking ahead, 'Drishyam 3' is slated for release on May 21, with Joseph indicating a departure from the thriller genre of its predecessor. This installment will feature Georgekutty's character years after previous events. The director's recent films, 'Mirage' and 'Valathu Vashathe Kallan,' did not achieve significant audience acclaim.
