Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 has wrapped up its theatrical run in Kerala with a Rs 91 crore gross, sealing a strong finish for the Jeethu Joseph-directed crime thriller. The film’s final tally places it among the biggest Malayalam successes in the state and reinforces the enduring grip of the Drishyam franchise on home audiences.
The film opened with Rs 11 crore on day one and quickly built momentum, collecting Rs 57 crore in its first week. It added Rs 23.85 crore in the second week, followed by Rs 6.50 crore in the third and Rs 2.65 crore in the fourth, before slowing down as its digital premiere arrived and theatrical shows reduced to selected screens.
Drishyam 3 Closes As Kerala’s Fourth Biggest Malayalam Grosser
With that Rs 90 crore finish, Drishyam 3 emerged as the fourth-highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time in Kerala. Its early trend had put the Rs 100 crore mark in sight, and even sparked expectations of a higher placement on the all-time chart, but the third and fourth weeks saw sharper drops that changed the final trajectory.
Even then, the outcome remains a major win for the Mohanlal starrer. The strong opening, sturdy second week and franchise goodwill ensured that the film stayed in the top tier of Kerala performers. For a series rooted in suspense, memory and family stakes, that sustained turnout once again showed how deeply Georgekutty’s world continues to resonate with audiences.
The Film’s Cast, Makers And Story Pull
Drishyam 3 is a Malayalam crime thriller directed by Jeethu Joseph and produced by Aashirvad Cinemas. Mohanlal leads the cast, with Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath and Siddique reprising key roles in the franchise’s expanding emotional and investigative universe.
The film’s appeal lies in its familiar tension and continuity. The Drishyam series has consistently drawn audiences through tightly wound plotting and the emotional investment built around Georgekutty and his family. That returning ensemble, combined with Jeethu Joseph’s established command over the material, gave the third chapter the feel of a major event release in Kerala.

Mohanlal’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Mohanlal’s recent slate has continued to balance star-led commercial films with franchise-driven titles. In 2026, he headlined Drishyam 3, which has now closed as one of Kerala’s biggest Malayalam grossers. He is also part of Patriot, a confirmed 2026 release directed by Mahesh Narayanan, with a cast that includes Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil and Kunchacko Boban.
At this stage of his career, Mohanlal remains one of Malayalam cinema’s most bankable names, especially in Kerala, where a franchise-backed film can still turn into a major box office event on the strength of his presence alone. Drishyam 3 is the latest proof of that pull, ending its run with both a substantial gross and a notable place in the state’s all-time rankings.
