About Drishyam 3 and the Franchise
The latest chapter in the beloved franchise sees Georgekutty (Mohanlal) and his family years after the events of the previous films. On the surface, life seems peaceful — Georgekutty has become a successful film producer, his daughters have grown up, and the family appears settled. However, beneath the calm exterior, old fears and unresolved memories continue to linger, threatening their hard-earned peace. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film also stars Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Kalabhavan Shajohn, Siddique, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sarath in key roles. The film received a strong opening and positive audience response initially, but its ability to maintain momentum will determine its final worldwide haul.
