The film starts with a new policeman in the town called Pondolim, a fictitious village in Goa, joining the newly built police station in the town. While walking through the station with a constable, he notices a man, ostensibly named Vijay Salgaonkar, sitting at one far end. The newly joined policeman asks whether he is “Vijay Salgaonkar”, to which the constable replies positively. The film then goes into a flashback as “Vijay” closes his eyes.
The climax of Drishyam 2 shows Vijay being caught by the police, after which we see that the police can not submit any valid proof against him in court. The court then sets him free. Vijay’s intelligence helps him evade punishment.
