Drishyam 3 Holds Steady at Box Office
Mohanlal’s much-awaited thriller, Drishyam 3, has been enjoying a solid run at the box office since its release. However, on day 9, the film saw a slight dip in collections, according to early estimates. Industry sources suggest that the movie earned around Rs 4.5 crore on its second Tuesday, bringing its total domestic collection to approximately Rs 145 crore.
The film, which also stars Meena and Siddique, has been receiving positive word-of-mouth, especially for its gripping narrative and stellar performances. While the drop is expected after a strong opening week, trade analysts believe the film will continue to perform well over the coming weekends.
Competition from New Releases
Drishyam 3 faced stiff competition from a couple of new releases this week, which may have affected its occupancy rates. However, the film’s loyal fan base and the franchise’s reputation have helped it maintain a steady pace. A source close to the production revealed, ‘The team is extremely happy with the response. The film is doing well in both urban and rural centers.’
In Kerala, where the film has a massive following, the collections remain robust. The movie’s success is a testament to Mohanlal’s enduring star power and director Jeethu Joseph’s masterful storytelling.
What’s Next for the Franchise?
With Drishyam 3 performing well, discussions about a potential fourth installment have already started. While no official announcement has been made, insiders suggest that the makers are keen on expanding the franchise. ‘The story has scope for more twists, and the audience is eager to see what happens next,’ added the source.
For now, fans can enjoy the current film, which continues to draw crowds to theaters. The coming weekend will be crucial for the movie’s long-term box office prospects.
