Six days. ₹171 crore. Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 isn’t just doing well — it’s rewriting what a Malayalam film can achieve at the worldwide box office, and it’s only getting started.
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the crime thriller added an estimated ₹13.45 crore on Day 6 alone, taking its global cume to ₹171 crore gross. With Eid-al-Adha holidays falling on Wednesday and Thursday, the film is perfectly positioned to push even harder this week. Based on current momentum, it is set to close its opening week at around ₹190–195 crore worldwide — and the coveted ₹200 crore club could be unlocked as early as its second Friday.

Breaking It Down: Where Is the Money Coming From?
Of the ₹171 crore global total, around ₹51 crore has come from Kerala alone — a staggering figure that reflects the frenzy the Drishyam franchise commands in its home turf. The rest of India contributed approximately ₹29 crore, with the overseas markets making up the remainder.
Kerala’s love for this franchise is something special. The Drishyam series — one of the most beloved crime thriller franchises in Indian cinema — has built a deeply loyal fanbase that treats every new chapter as a cultural event. When Mohanlal walks back into the role of Georgekutty, people don’t just watch — they show up in droves, multiple times, bringing family along.
Can Drishyam 3 Make History?
Here’s where it gets exciting. The film is already the second fastest Malayalam film to cross ₹50 crore in Kerala, trailing only L2: Empuraan. Now the question is whether it can go all the way and dethrone Lokah Chapter One: Chandra as the biggest Malayalam grosser of all time.
The path ahead isn’t easy — Manjummel Boys, L2: Empuraan, and Lokah all set incredibly high bars. But the pacing, the franchise loyalty, and an upcoming holiday boost suggest this race is very much alive. Keep tabs on how this story unfolds with our ongoing Malayalam box office coverage on TechnoSports.
The second week will be the real test. If Drishyam 3 holds as strongly as its predecessors did, those records may not be safe for long. For all the latest Malayalam box office updates and South Indian cinema news, stay tuned to TechnoSports.
