Drishyam 3 Roars Past ₹157 Crores Worldwide in Just 5 Days; Sets Record for Biggest Non-Holiday Monday
The phenomenal box office rampage of Drishyam 3 continues across the globe as the film has crossed a sensational ₹157.21 crore gross worldwide within just five days of its release. Starring Mohanlal in one of his most celebrated roles, the thriller has once again proved the unmatched popularity of the franchise among audiences worldwide.
According to the latest trade reports, the film collected an impressive ₹45.21 crores from Kerala alone in five days. The movie has been dominating multiplexes and single screens alike, with packed houses being witnessed across the state since day one. The strong weekday hold has become the biggest talking point, especially after the film registered a historic first Monday collection despite not having any holiday advantage.
In the Rest of India markets, the film grossed ₹27.20 crores, which is a phenomenal number for a Malayalam film. Major cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi have contributed significantly to the collections. The dubbed and subtitled versions are also attracting audiences beyond the traditional Malayalam cinema market, showcasing the nationwide appeal of the franchise.
Overseas performance has been equally extraordinary. The film amassed a massive ₹84.80 crores internationally, making it one of the biggest overseas performers ever for Malayalam cinema. Markets such as the Gulf region, North America, the UK, Australia, and Europe are witnessing exceptional occupancies even during weekdays. Family audiences and thriller lovers are turning up in huge numbers, resulting in repeat viewership and sold-out shows in several territories.
The biggest highlight, however, remains the film’s record-breaking non-holiday Monday collections. Usually, films witness noticeable drops after the opening weekend, but Drishyam 3 has shown remarkable stability at the box office. The strong word of mouth, gripping narrative, and emotional depth have helped the film maintain extraordinary momentum.
Directed with intense suspense and backed by powerful performances, the film has once again reaffirmed why the franchise enjoys cult status among Indian audiences. Mohanlal has received widespread appreciation for his commanding screen presence, while the supporting cast has also earned praise for elevating the emotional tension throughout the film.
With the second weekend still ahead, trade analysts predict an even bigger total in the coming days. At this pace, Drishyam 3 is all set to rewrite several existing box office records and emerge as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year.
