Mohanlal's movie "Drishyam 3", the third entry in director Jeethu Joseph's original Malayalam-language franchise, is continuing to do strong business in India and worldwide. On the third Sunday (Day 18), the film earned Rs 1.70 crore, registering a 30.8% growth from Saturday's net collection of Rs 1.30 crore. This brings the domestic gross to Rs 123.47 crore and the domestic net total to Rs 106.43 crore so far.
The overseas cumulative gross has been clocked at Rs 111.50 crore so far, taking the worldwide total to Rs 234.97 crore, as per box office tracker Sacnilk.
In terms of global earnings, "Drishyam 3" is currently trailing "Lokah" Chapter 1 - Chandra", "L2: Empuraan", "Manjummel Boys", "Thudarum", and "Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros".
"Drishyam 3" is currently behind Mohanlal's 2025 hit "Thudarum" in global box office rankings. Interestingly, it has completely outperformed "Thudarum" in international markets, earning Rs 111.50 crore compared to the previous Mohanlal hit's Rs 93.80 crore. Because of this massive overseas push, "Drishyam 3" is less than Rs 1 crore away from the total lifetime gross of "Thudarum" (Rs 235.38 crore).
In Kerala alone, "Drishyam 3" earned an estimated Rs 84.50 crore gross, placing it on the Top 5 highest-grossing films list in Kerala's history, officially surpassing "Pulimurugan" and "Aadujeevitham". It is steadily tracking towards the coveted Rs 100 crore milestone in the home state.
In terms of the India net collection, "Drishyam 3" is the fastest to achieve the 100 crore milestone, in just over two weeks. Unlike "Drishyam 2" (which took a direct-to-OTT digital route during the pandemic), the third film capitalised heavily on theatrical pre-release buzz. Its India net collection alone has completely eclipsed the entire lifetime global earnings of the 2013 original movie (Rs 62 crore).
