Drishyam 3 Holds Strong: Mohanlal Thriller Races Past Rs 75 Crore In Two Days

Early Weekend Box Office Mood

Released amid high expectations and franchise buzz, Drishyam 3 capitalised on fan curiosity and franchise loyalty to post an excellent opening day globally. Day 2 saw a slight softening in domestic numbers, but the film’s international performance and premium-screen occupancies are helping it maintain momentum.

Domestic Trend And Audience Response

In India, the film has seen a minor drop in box office collections on Day 2, a normal trend after a franchise-heavy opening day. Strong performance in key Kerala circuits and select metros continues, supported by solid word of mouth around Mohanlal’s performance, tight screenplay, and the film’s twist-driven narrative that keeps the Drishyam universe alive for fans.

Global Appeal And Franchise Power

Internationally, Drishyam 3 is emerging as one of the stronger Malayalam performers in recent times, buoyed by the franchise’s established fan base among the diaspora. Positive social media chatter, repeat viewing potential, and strong weekend family turnout are expected to be crucial in sustaining box office momentum through Sunday and into the weekday hold.
