Steady second week keeps Drishyam 3 in the race
Drishyam 3 is showing no signs of slowing down at the Kerala box office. The Mohanlal-starrer crime thriller has collected an estimated Rs 2 crore on its second Monday, taking its total gross in the state to Rs 78.30 crore.
The film’s second week total has reached Rs 15.60 crore in just four days, and insiders say it is on track to finish the week with around Rs 20 crore. While the Monday collection saw a 50 per cent dip compared to the second Friday, the film remains one of the strongest performers in theatres right now.
Industry observers note that the steady numbers reflect strong audience interest even after an impressive opening week. The film is expected to cross the Rs 80 crore gross mark by the end of Tuesday, and then set its sights on the Rs 85 crore milestone in the coming days.
Can Drishyam 3 join the Rs 100 crore club?
If the current momentum continues, Drishyam 3 could become only the fourth Malayalam film to cross the Rs 100 crore gross mark in Kerala. That would be a massive achievement for the franchise and further cement Mohanlal’s status as a box office powerhouse.
The film also has a chance to challenge the collections of recent blockbusters like Vaazha 2 and Lokah Chapter One: Chandra. But to reach those levels, it will need to maintain strong momentum and consistent audience support for several more weeks.
Here’s a look at the day-wise Kerala box office performance of Drishyam 3 so far:
- Day 1: Rs 11.00 crore
- Day 2: Rs 8.80 crore
- Day 3: Rs 9.20 crore
- Day 4: Rs 9.60 crore
- Day 5: Rs 6.60 crore
- Day 6: Rs 5.80 crore
- Day 7: Rs 6.00 crore
- Day 8: Rs 5.70 crore
- Day 9: Rs 4.25 crore
- Day 10: Rs 4.50 crore
- Day 11: Rs 4.85 crore
- Day 12: Rs 2.00 crore (estimated)
- Total: Rs 78.30 crore
Word of mouth keeps the momentum going
The strong word of mouth and continued audience interest suggest that Drishyam 3 could have a long run at the box office. Industry sources say the film’s performance will be closely watched as it attempts to join the exclusive list of Malayalam films that have crossed Rs 100 crore gross in Kerala.
With the franchise’s loyal fanbase and positive reviews, the film is well-positioned to achieve more milestones in the weeks ahead. The coming weekend will be crucial in determining whether Drishyam 3 can sustain its momentum and reach the coveted Rs 100 crore mark.
