A winning second week despite the dip
Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 is still running strong at the box office, even as it enters its second week with the expected weekday slowdown. The Jeethu Joseph directorial has officially crossed the ₹100 crore nett mark in India, cementing its status as a solid hit. According to trade reports, the film collected around ₹1.55 crore nett on its 13th day (Tuesday) from about 2,142 shows across the country. That takes the total India gross to ₹116.55 crore and the nett collection to ₹100.45 crore. Early estimates for day 14 (Wednesday) add another ₹0.06 crore nett, pushing the gross to ₹116.62 crore and nett to ₹100.51 crore.
The thriller had a blockbuster opening weekend with ₹15.85 crore on day one, ₹11.05 crore on day two, ₹13.70 crore on day three, and ₹13.85 crore on day four. It wrapped up its first week with an impressive ₹81.95 crore. In the second week, the numbers remained robust: ₹4.30 crore on Friday, ₹5.10 crore on Saturday, and ₹5.35 crore on Sunday before the weekdays began to dip. Still, industry insiders say the film has enough momentum to keep collecting in the coming days.
What Drishyam 3 is all about
For those who haven’t caught it yet, Drishyam 3 continues the story of Georgekutty (Mohanlal) and his family, years after the events of the previous two 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, old fears and unresolved memories from the past continue to linger in the background, threatening their hard-earned peace. The film has been praised for its gripping narrative and Mohanlal’s powerful performance, which keeps audiences hooked even in its third instalment.
With strong franchise loyalty and Mohanlal’s massive star power, Drishyam 3 has comfortably crossed the ₹100 crore nett mark in India. While the weekdays have slowed down, the film still has enough goodwill to maintain a respectable run in the coming days. Trade analysts are optimistic that the film will continue to find an audience in the weeks ahead, especially in Kerala and other key markets.
What lies ahead for the franchise
Rumours are already swirling about a possible fourth instalment, though neither Jeethu Joseph nor Mohanlal have confirmed anything officially. Given the franchise’s massive fan following, it wouldn’t be surprising if the makers decide to extend the story further. For now, Drishyam 3 is enjoying a steady run at the ticket windows, and fans are loving Georgekutty’s return. If you haven’t watched it yet, now’s the time to catch it in theatres before the numbers drop further. And if you have, well, you know why it’s still trending on social media!
