Shane Nigam tried his best & rest did their part well.. no songs and maintained the mystery till end with a satisfying twist.. perusa engayum bore adikala.. Overall a decent thriller !! Rating : 3.25/5.”Praise for second half and climax of the Shane Nigam starrerAnother viewer wrote, “#Dridam starts off on a typical Jeethu Joseph note with his usual set of actors, leading to an average first half. However, the fast-paced second half, followed by a terrific climax, lifts the movie considerably. And yes, there’s a terrific reference to #Drishyam as well. Shane Nigam was superb as a rookie cop, supported by a dependable cast. As usual, some of the new faces turned out to be weak links. Easily watchable and maybe a sleeper hit!! #Drishyam3 #Mohanlal #Dhridam.”Another one wrote, “#Dridam A Decent one tym watchable crime investigation thriller Decent first half & good second half & climax.”Another one wrote, “The biggest strength of the movie is definitely the climax Suspense portions are engaging and the final 15 minutes are superb Excellent screen presence from #ShaneNigam Overall a well-executed good thriller #Dridam.”
