Where It Stands in Malayalam Cinema History
While Drishyam 3 fell just short of crossing the Rs. 100 crore mark in Kerala alone, it still landed at the fourth spot among the state’s highest-grossing films of all time, trailing only Vaazha, Lokah Chapter One: Chandra, and Thudarum. Overseas, its performance was even more striking — it became the third biggest Malayalam grosser internationally and the fourth biggest of all time worldwide.
Malayalam cinema has increasingly found strong overseas support in recent years, particularly across Gulf markets with large Malayali diaspora communities (Wikipedia).
With this kind of consistency across two sequels, the Drishyam franchise has firmly cemented itself as one of Mohanlal’s most enduring hits.
