The much-awaited Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, has been doing really well at the global box office since it came out, and honestly, it looks like people haven’t really let it go yet. It is directed by Jeethu Joseph, and somehow it feels like a signal for the return of Georgekutty, the part that audiences have been watching for years, sometimes in cinemas, sometimes just in memory. The storyline stays sharp, while the suspense keeps coming back again and again, so the film pulls in viewers from all over the world.
‘Drishyam 3’ Crosses ₹236 Crore Worldwide Despite Fourth-Week Slowdown
By the end of its 22-day theatrical run, Drishyam 3 had already managed to pull off a noteworthy ₹236 crore across the globe. The film raked in ₹107.96 crore net within India, while the domestic total is sitting at around ₹125.24 crore. On the outside, audiences have also leaned in pretty strongly, adding close to ₹111.65 crore towards the worldwide figure. Even as it keeps pulling in viewers, the box office pace, naturally, has eased off now that it’s reached its fourth week. On Day 22 it collected about ₹26 lakh net in India, which is pretty much what you’d expect once that big blockbuster wave has passed.
Box Office Momentum Eases as New Releases Intensify Competition
The slowing down in ticket sales is mostly because the competition at the box office keeps getting more intense, kind of like that. The film got a tough challenge from Ram Charan’s action-packed Peddi, which has pulled in a big chunk of moviegoers. At the same time, upcoming releases like Kangana Ranaut’s Bharat Bhagya Vidhata are also applying pressure on screen availability, no doubt. On Day 22, Drishyam 3 logged an average occupancy of 8.13 percent over 665 shows. Even if loyal fans are still showing up to catch it, a lot of viewers now are redirecting their focus toward more fresh releases in cinemas.
Can the Weekend Help ‘Drishyam 3’ Reach the ₹250 Crore Milestone?
So the film sort of heads into its fourth weekend, and everybody is watching if it can actually cross the ₹250 crore mark worldwide. Right now its global total is sitting just about at ₹237 crore, so it’s going to need a proper weekend surge to hit that number. During the weekdays the collections have started to ease off a bit, but if there’s a decent crowd on Saturday and Sunday, especially from family audiences, that might be the last little push it needs. In turn, it can end up closing its theatrical run on a strong note.
