**Drishyam 3** just became one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest success stories. The **Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph reunion** film has crossed the **Rs 225 crore mark** globally in just **12 days** — a staggering haul that proves the enduring power of the franchise and Mohanlal’s star magnetism across markets.

This is only the beginning for the crime thriller.

## Drishyam 3: A Dominant Run

| Market | Collection |
| --- | --- |
| **Kerala (Home State)** | Rs 76.30 crore |
| **Rest of India** | Rs 40.50 crore |
| **All-India Total** | Rs 116.75 crore |
| **Overseas** | Rs 108+ crore |
| **Worldwide Gross** | Rs 224.75 crore |
| **Timeline** | 12 days |

The breakdown is remarkable. Kerala contributed a staggering **Rs 76.30 crore** alone — an indicator of the film’s extraordinary pull in its home market. Domestically, it accumulated **Rs 116.75 crore** across all of India, while overseas collections added over **Rs 108 crore**, demonstrating Drishyam 3’s pan-Indian and diaspora appeal.

## Strong Hold Into Week Two

On its **2nd Monday (Day 12)**, the film added a modest **Rs 3 crore** to the tally. While this marks its lowest single-day collection, it’s a natural expectation after a frontloaded opening week. The film’s ability to hold even with diminishing numbers signals **healthy word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest**.

Day-wise, Drishyam 3 opened with a monster **Rs 43.30 crore** and held strong through the weekend, maintaining the **Rs 29-35 crore range** on days 2-4 before settling into a steady decline pattern typical of film releases.

## One of Malayalam Cinema’s Biggest Hits

Drishyam 3 has already emerged as one of the biggest successes for Malayalam cinema in recent memory. Industry analysts predict it will **surpass the lifetime collections** of recent hits like *Thudarum*, *Vaazha 2*, and *Manjummel Boys* by the end of its theatrical run.

The real question now: **Can it challenge the L2 Empuraan record?** That film holds a benchmark for Malayalam cinema. With such a powerful start and solid holds, crossing **Rs 250 crore globally** appears within reach — a feat few Malayalam films have achieved.
