`Drishyam 2`, headlined by Ajay Devgn has brought some much-needed cheer to the beleaguered Bollywood box office with a strong opening worldwide weekend gross of Rs 89 crore, reports `Variety`.

The suspense thriller, which also stars Tabu and Akshaye Khanna, is a sequel to the 2015 hit `Drishyam`. The Hindi-language films are remakes of the Malayalam-language `Drishyam` films (2013 and 2021) headlined by Mohanlal. Bollywood has been undergoing a box-office slump in 2022 and `Drishyam 2` serves as a tonic to revive it.
