Mohanlal’s return as Georgekutty has turned into one of Malayalam cinema’s most closely watched box office stories of the season. After a thunderous start in Kerala, Drishyam 3 has now completed its second weekend with enough fuel left in the tank to eye a major lifetime finish in its home market.
Drishyam 3 Nears Rs 80 Crore In Kerala
Drishyam 3 collected Rs. 13.60 crore gross in its second weekend at the Kerala box office. The film added Rs. 4.85 crore on its second Sunday, showing a solid hold after the initial rush that powered its extended opening weekend.
With this, the Jeethu Joseph directorial has taken its 11 day Kerala total to Rs. 76.30 crore gross. The film is now within touching distance of the Rs. 80 crore mark, a milestone it is tracking to cross shortly if the current momentum continues through the weekdays.
The bigger conversation is its lifetime potential. At this pace, Drishyam 3 is set to target a Rs. 100 crore plus finish in Kerala, reinforcing the enduring pull of the franchise, which has grown from a gripping family thriller into one of Indian cinema’s most valuable suspense properties.

The second weekend trend also matters because the film has naturally slowed after the opening frame, yet the hold over Saturday and Sunday suggests that family audiences and franchise loyalists are still driving footfalls.
Georgekutty’S Family Thriller Returns To The Big Screen
Drishyam 3 is a 2026 Malayalam crime drama written and directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under Aashirvad Cinemas, with Panorama Studios and Pen Studios associated with its wider presentation and distribution.
The film stars Mohanlal as Georgekutty, alongside Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Kalabhavan Shajon, Siddique, Murali Gopy and Asha Sarath. Released worldwide on May 21, 2026, Drishyam 3 continues the story of Georgekutty and his family as the long shadow of the case that changed their lives returns to test them again.
The premise remains rooted in the franchise’s core strength: a seemingly ordinary man protecting his family while staying several steps ahead of the law. Jeethu Joseph’s crime drama packaging and Mohanlal’s controlled performance have once again become the main talking points around the film’s theatrical run.
Mohanlal’S Box Office Momentum Continues
For Mohanlal, Drishyam 3 has arrived as another reminder of his deep connect with Kerala audiences. The film’s strong run builds on the massive recall value of Drishyam and Drishyam 2, with the third instalment turning that legacy into theatrical numbers.
Georgekutty remains one of Mohanlal’s most loved screen identities, and the audience response to Drishyam 3 shows how strongly the character still resonates. The franchise’s grip on viewers continues to give the superstar a powerful theatrical advantage.
