Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph's thriller 'Drishyam 3' has entered its third week in theatres and continues to maintain a strong hold at the box office, despite witnessing a slight decline in daily collections. According to Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 1.05 crore on Day 15, representing a 16.0 percent drop from the previous day's collection of Rs 1.25 crore. The film recorded this amount across 1,341 shows.
With the latest addition, total India gross collections have reached Rs 119.22 crore, while India net collections now stand at Rs 102.75 crore. The overseas market remains a major strength for 'Drishyam 3', which has collected Rs 111.25 crore in overseas gross collections so far. Combining both domestic and international earnings, the film's worldwide gross collection has reached an impressive Rs 230.47 crore.
Strong First Week Created a Solid Foundation
'Drishyam 3' collected Rs 81.95 crore during its first week alone. Day 7 brought in Rs 6.65 crore across 4,721 shows, and the following day also earned Rs 6.65 crore despite a lower show count. The second week added respectable figures to the total run, with week 2 collections reaching Rs 20.80 crore before the film entered its third week.
Franchise Appeal and Critical Reception
The 'Drishyam' franchise has built its popularity over the years through suspense and emotional conflict. According to ETimes, "The power of the Drishyam franchise was never merely its suspense. It was the uncomfortable moral space it placed the audience in. A man commits a crime, manipulates the system, destroys evidence, and escapes punishment, yet society collectively decides to stand with him because the crime was committed to protect his family."
ETimes review for the film reads, "The final portions still manage to deliver the tension and emotional payoff expected from the Drishyam brand. Yet the larger question remains unavoidable: was a third part truly necessary? The original film had closure within its moral ambiguity, while the second part expanded the psychological consequences effectively. This third chapter often feels like a continuation driven more by the weight of a successful franchise than by an urgent storytelling need."
With collections continuing to grow, 'Drishyam 3' remains one of the notable performers at the box office. The film's sustained success underscores the enduring appeal of the franchise and the star power of Mohanlal.
