The much-anticipated Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, has delivered a sensational performance at the Kerala box office within its opening week. The film, which continues the gripping saga of Georgekutty, raked in an impressive ₹50.94 crore gross in just six days, setting the cash registers ringing across the state.
The opening day was nothing short of phenomenal, with the film collecting ₹11.05 crore on Day 1. Despite being a working day, massive pre-release buzz and positive word-of-mouth fueled packed houses. Day 2 saw a slight dip but remained strong at ₹8.80 crore, followed by a robust Day 3 (₹9.22 crore) and Day 4 (₹9.57 crore), as the weekend and partial holiday period kept footfalls high.
As the week progressed, a predictable weekday drop was witnessed. Day 5 brought in ₹6.56 crore, while Day 6 settled at ₹5.74 crore. Nevertheless, the cumulative total of ₹50.94 crore in less than a week is a massive feat, reaffirming Mohanlal’s unrivaled box office stamina and the franchise’s cult status.
With no major competition in sight and excellent holds in multiplexes as well as single screens, Drishyam 3 is expected to cruise past the ₹75 crore mark in Kerala alone by the end of its second week. The film’s gripping narrative, sharp direction, and Mohanlal’s commanding performance have turned it into a family favorite, ensuring strong repeat viewership.
As the Georgekutty mystery deepens, trade analysts predict that Drishyam 3 is on track to become one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time in the home market.
