Drishyam 3 Takes Thunderous Opening With 16.50 Cr On Day 1

Mohanlal starrer Drishyam 3 has opened to a phenomenal response at the domestic box office. The much anticipated third installment of the popular thriller franchise collected 16.50 crore on its first day across India. The film saw massive turnout from morning shows itself, driven by Mohanlal's strong fanbase and the franchise's goodwill.

The film recorded an excellent trend throughout the day. Occupancy started strong in the morning and continued to grow steadily through the afternoon and evening shows. Major centers in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the Hindi belt reported houseful boards by night. Advance bookings had already indicated a big start, and the spot bookings further pushed the collections higher.

Trade analysts are calling this one of the biggest openings for a Malayalam film in recent times. The Drishyam brand has become a pan India phenomenon after the success of the previous parts and their remakes. With positive word of mouth coming in from early audiences, the film is expected to hold strongly over the weekend. The combination of Mohanlal's performance and Jeethu Joseph's direction has once again struck a chord.

If the current trend continues, Drishyam 3 is poised for a huge opening weekend. The day one figure of 16.50 crore puts it in a strong position among 2026 releases. All eyes are now on Saturday and Sunday growth, as the film looks to capitalize on the festive momentum and strong audience reception.
