Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark worldwide within seven days of its theatrical release. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film released on May 21 and opened to strong audience response across domestic and overseas markets. The crime thriller has now emerged as one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year. Fans have continued to flock to theaters, helping the movie maintain a steady box office run throughout its first week.

The film created headlines on its opening day itself by becoming the second-biggest Malayalam opener in history. The top opening-day record is still held by L2: Empuraan, another Mohanlal blockbuster. Industry experts believe the popularity of the Drishyam franchise played a major role in the film’s strong opening numbers. Positive word-of-mouth and family audience support have also contributed significantly to its commercial success across different regions.

Sharing the milestone on social media, Mohanlal thanked audiences for their love towards Georgekutty and his family. The actor wrote that the emotional bond built over three films remained strong among viewers. He later posted another heartfelt message saying audience reactions and reviews meant more to him than box office numbers. Mohanlal also said the film was made with immense passion, gratitude, and dedication from the entire team behind the project.

Although he has turned his life story into a successful movie within the film’s narrative, fear of the truth resurfacing continues to haunt him. The emotional tension and suspense-driven storytelling have once again connected strongly with audiences worldwide.
