Drishyam 3 is refusing to slow down. Directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal in his iconic role as Georgekutty, the film added an estimated Rs 6 crore to its Kerala tally on Day 7 (Wednesday, May 28, 2026) — a nominal uptick from the previous day that signals rock-solid audience loyalty deep into its opening week.

Opening Week Wrap and What Comes Next
The film is now firmly on track to close its 8-day extended opening weekend around the Rs 63–64 crore mark in Kerala alone — an impressive figure by any standard. Given the film’s strong weekday performance, a significant spike on the second weekend is expected, which should push the Kerala cume into the Rs 80–85 crore range.
From there, Drishyam 3 would need just Rs 15 crore more to become a Rs 100 crore film in Kerala — a milestone it is expected to cross by the end of its second week.
The bigger picture is even more striking. The film had already raked in Rs 171 crore globally in just six days, making it one of the fastest Malayalam films ever to reach that mark worldwide.
Competition and Historical Context
Once Drishyam 3 enters the Rs 100 crore club in Kerala, it will turn its sights on the top all-time Kerala grossers — Thudarum, Lokah Chapter One: Chandra, and Vaazha 2. The film is already the second fastest Malayalam movie to cross Rs 50 crore in Kerala, trailing only L2: Empuraan.
The sustained weekday numbers — particularly the Wednesday uptick — confirm that word-of-mouth is carrying the film well beyond its opening weekend fanbase, which is the clearest sign of a genuine blockbuster run.
