Hyderabad, May 28, 2026: Drishyam 3 ne apne pehle week mein hi ek badi achievement haasil ki hai—worldwide box office collections Rs 200 crore cross kar diya hai. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal ke lead mein Jeethu Joseph directed iss franchise ka yeh final chapter, jo 2013 mein original film release hone ke baad se lagbhag 13 saal se audience ko dekh raha hai. X (formerly Twitter) par ek post mein Mohanlal ne fans ka shukriya ada kiya aur likha, “Teen films. Teen chapters. Ek unbroken bond. Thank you for walking with Georgekutty & Family.”
Trade data ke according, Drishyam 3 ne apne pehle week mein India mein 4,721 shows se Rs 6.65 crore net kama liye. Yeh dekhkar India ka total net Rs 75.30 crore aur gross Rs 87.38 crore ho gaya. Overseas markets ne bhi isi din Rs 5 crore add kiye, jisse international total Rs 96.20 crore ho gaya. Milakar, worldwide gross Rs 183.58 crore hai, lekin Mohanlal ke Rs 200 crore ke claim se lagta hai ki final global gross aur zyada ho sakta hai jab sabhi markets ke final numbers aayenge.
Day 7 par Kochi ne 66% occupancy ke saath lead kiya, jabki overall Malayalam occupancy India mein 40.35% rahi. Yeh strong weekday performance film ki strong hold ko dikhata hai, especially jab doosre major Malayalam releases se compare kiya jaaye. For example, L2: Empuraan—2025 ka sabse zyada kamai karne wala Malayalam film aur abhi worldwide chart mein second position par—ne apne seventh day par India mein Rs 5.50 crore hi kamae the. Drishyam 3 ne Day 7 par Rs 6.65 crore kamae, jo na sirf Empuraan se zyada hai, balki yeh bhi note karne wali baat hai ki isne Day 1 par Rs 15.85 crore se start kiya tha, jo Empuraan ke Day 1 gross Rs 21 crore se kam hai. Yeh indicate karta hai ki Drishyam 3 ne apne pehle week mein hi strong momentum aur audience interest maintain kiya hai.
Trade data ke according, worldwide gross Rs 183.58 crore ke saath, Drishyam 3 ne 2018 ke Malayalam disaster drama ke lifetime earnings ko bhi cross kar diya hai, aur isse yeh worldwide highest-grossing Malayalam films ki list mein sixth position par aa gaya hai. Top 5 mein hain—Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, L2: Empuraan, Manjummel Boys, Thudarum, aur Vaazha II. Yeh Drishyam 3 ko elite company mein rakhta hai aur agle weeks mein aur collections ke liye clear target set karta hai.
Film ko Jeethu Joseph ne likha aur direct kiya hai, jo iss franchise ki sabhi teen films ke director hain. Antony Perumbavoor ke production Aashirvad Cinemas ke under, Drishyam 3 mein Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, aur Esther Anil hain, along with Asha Sharath aur Siddique in key supporting roles. Technical team mein hain—Anil Johnson (music), Satheesh Kurup (cinematography), aur VS Vinayak (editing).
Drishyam franchise ki shuruaat 2013 mein original thriller se hui thi, jismein Georgekutty—ek cable TV operator—ko police se family ko murder investigation se bachane ke liye smart moves karte dikhaya gaya tha. Ye film ek cultural phenomenon ban gayi aur Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, aur Kannada mein bhi successful remakes hue. 2021 mein second installment directly streaming par release hui thi, jisse fan interest aur zyada ho gaya. Drishyam 3, jo final chapter hai, Georgekutty ko ek aur final story ke saath lekar aaya hai, jo purani saari emotional aur narrative weight carry kar raha hai.
Jab film apni theatrical run continue kar rahi hai, industry observers closely watching kar rahe hain ki kya yeh top 5 Malayalam films ko challenge ya surpass kar sakti hai agle weeks mein. Strong word-of-mouth, consistent weekday collections, aur decade se zyada purani loyal fan base ke saath, Drishyam 3 na sirf Malayalam cinema history mein apna place secure kar rahi hai, balki industry ke franchise films ke liye bhi expectations redefine kar rahi hai.
