Drishyam 3 Nears Rs 250 Crore Club, But Peddi Impact Shows
Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 continues to dominate the box office even after two weeks, but the film witnessed its sharpest drop in collections on Day 14. The Jeethu Joseph-directed thriller has earned over Rs 230 crore worldwide so far, with an India gross of Rs 118 crore and a net collection crossing Rs 101.70 crore. Overseas, the film has collected Rs 111.25 crore, with strong performances in the Gulf (Rs 62-65 crore), North America (Rs 24 crore), UK (Rs 14 crore), and Australia (Rs 8 crore).
The drop comes after the release of Ram Charan’s Peddi, which collected an estimated Rs 22 crore from preview shows alone. Industry sources say that’s expected—casual moviegoers tend to flock to the newest big release, even affecting a powerhouse franchise like Drishyam 3. On its 15th day, the film earned an estimated Rs 0.03 crore, according to Sacnilk. These are early figures and may be updated later.

The official streaming date is yet to be announced by the makers, but fans can expect the thriller to hit the platform soon.
The film had already created history during its opening week by crossing the Rs 100 crore mark within just 58 hours of release.
