Drishyam 3 Box Office: Mohanlal Starrer Struggling To Reach 250 Crore Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Kochi, June 4 - Superstar Mohanlal's much-awaited crime thriller Drishyam 3 continues to perform well at the box office, but its pace has slowed considerably during the second week of its theatrical run. Despite emerging as one of the biggest Malayalam hits of 2026, the film is now facing a challenge in reaching the significant 250 crore worldwide gross milestone. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment of the iconic Drishyam franchise opened to a sensational response worldwide. The film crossed the 100 crore mark globally within just three days and entered the prestigious 200 crore club in 9 days, reaffirming the massive popularity of Georgekutty's story among audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the momentum has slowed noticeably in recent days. At the end of the 14th day, Drishyam 3 has grossed approximately 229 crore worldwide, with daily collections witnessing a steady decline during its second week. The film's India gross collections are around 118 crores, while overseas markets have contributed approx 111 crores so far. The slowdown comes after an exceptional opening phase that saw the film become one of the fastest Malayalam releases to cross major box office milestones. While the franchise's loyal fanbase ensured a blockbuster start, sustaining the same momentum has proven difficult as weekday collections continue to soften due to mixed word of mouth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Drishyam 3 India Gross Collection 1st week - 95.10 crore (8 days) 2nd Friday - 5.00 crore 2nd Saturday - 5.90 crore 2nd Sunday - 6.20 crore 2nd Monday - 2.55 crore 2nd Tuesday - 1.80 crore 2nd Wednesday - 1.45 crore 2nd Thursday - 1.25 crore (expected) Total (15 days) - 119.25 crore (expected) With around 20 crore more needed to hit the 250 crore worldwide benchmark, the coming days will be crucial. The film still has realistic chances of reaching the milestone, but it looks unlikely to beat Mohanlal's Empuraan (266+ crore) as the second biggest Malayalam grosser. At one point, it was expected to enter the prestigious 300 crore club, but now, that mark is looking like a far cry. Nevertheless, Drishyam 3 remains a major commercial success for Malayalam cinema and another significant achievement for Mohanlal. While it may or may not cross Empuraan, the crime suspense thriller will be beating Vaazha 2 (235.25 crores) to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year (so far).

Drishyam 3 Day 12 Box Office: Mohanlal starrer earns Rs. 2.56 Cr gross and is now set to enter the 100 Cr India net club

BY SACNILK

Drishyam 3 has officially completed twelve days of its theatrical run, and the Mohanlal starrer is holding steady as it approaches a major domestic milestone. After a busy second weekend, the film transitioned into its second Monday with consistent interest across the southern circuits. On Day 12, the project brought in an India gross collection of ₹2.56 Cr. This pushes the total India gross to a significant ₹114.76 Cr. While the gross figures are climbing fast, the film is also effectively just a few lakhs away from entering the prestigious 100 crore net club in India, as it currently stands at ₹98.90 Cr net. If we analyze the current trend, the collections on Monday saw a 58.9 percent drop compared to the Sunday performance. This is a very standard pattern for a working day following a peak weekend. What is noteworthy is that the film still maintained a strong presence with 2,276 shows across the country yesterday. In terms of state-wise gross business, Kerala remains the primary driver, contributing ₹2.15 Cr to the daily gross, while the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions added ₹0.15 Cr. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Let us look at the language-specific performance for the Malayalam version. On its twelfth day, it collected a net of ₹2.00 Cr. While this keeps the momentum going, it places Drishyam 3 at the ninth spot on the all-time list for the highest second-monday collections in Mollywood history. It currently sits just behind the records set by Neru and Sarvam Maya. You can see how it compares to some of the biggest recent hits in the industry in the table below. Top 10 Mollywood Movies - Highest 2nd Monday Malayalam NetMOVIE NAME2ND MONDAY NET (MALAYALAM)Vaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros₹ 5.20 CrLokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra₹ 4.85 CrThudarum₹ 4.80 CrManjummel Boys₹ 4.50 Cr2018₹ 3.65 CrAavesham₹ 3.10 CrNeru₹ 2.50 CrSarvam Maya₹ 2.15 CrDrishyam 3 (Malayalam)₹ 2.00 CrAadujeevitham - The Goat Life₹ 1.83 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Occupancy rates in its home territory remain quite encouraging for a Monday. Kochi stood out with an overall occupancy of 33.3 percent, with night shows even touching the 50 percent mark. Trivandrum recorded 17.0 percent occupancy, while the Bengaluru market saw about 6.0 percent for the Malayalam version. The ticketing data from BookMyShow further confirms this engagement, with approximately 48,870 tickets sold yesterday alone. To date, over 36.39 lakh tickets have been booked on the platform through the film's run. Internationally, the Drishyam brand continues to show massive pull. Based on early estimates, the film added ₹0.75 Cr from overseas markets on Day 12, taking its total overseas gross to approximately ₹110.00 Cr. This is a significant milestone because it means the international market is contributing almost as much as the domestic market to the total collections. When we combine the India gross of ₹114.76 Cr and the overseas early estimates, the worldwide gross collection stands at an estimated ₹224.76 Cr. Moving forward, the focus will be on how the film performs over the remaining weekdays. With the 100 crore net milestone in sight for today, the film is set to join an elite group of Malayalam cinema very soon. The consistent footfalls and the massive overseas performance suggest that Drishyam 3 is well on its way to cementing its legacy as another highly successful chapter in this popular franchise.

Drishyam 3 Day 10 Box Office: Mohanlal's Film Nets Rs. 5.10 Cr and Breaks Records in Karnataka

BY SACNILK

The return of Georgekutty has clearly struck a chord with the audience, as Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 is currently showing the kind of box office dominance we usually associate with major festival releases. In just ten days, the film has managed to rewrite several record books, proving that the brand value of this franchise is arguably the strongest in Malayalam cinema today. It is not just about the local market either; the film is performing like a global juggernaut, comfortably crossing milestones in record time. On its second Saturday, the film witnessed a significant surge in momentum. The Day 10 collections stood at 5.10 crore, which is a healthy 18.6 percent jump from the 4.30 crore it earned on Friday. This late-week oxygen has pushed the total India net collection to 91.35 crore, while the domestic gross has officially breached the 100-crore mark, sitting at 106 crore. This makes Drishyam 3 Mohanlal's fourth film to enter the domestic 100-crore gross club, a feat very few actors in the industry can claim. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The story is even more impressive when you look at the worldwide picture. The overseas market contributed another 6 crore on Saturday, taking the total international gross to 113.75 crore. When we combine the domestic and international numbers, the worldwide gross collection has now soared to 219.75 crore. In just ten days of its run, the film has already climbed to the 6th position in the list of highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time in India. The sheer speed of this ascent is a clear indicator of the film's universal appeal. Check out the top five Malayalam films with the highest Malayalam net collections over their first ten days. First 10 Days Highest Malayalam Movies - India Net CollectionMOVIE NAMEFIRST 10 DAYS NET COLLECTIONL2: Empuraan₹ 86.24 CrDrishyam 3 (Malayalam)₹ 79.40 CrThudarum₹ 69.09 CrVaazha 2: Biopic of a Billion Bros₹ 69.00 CrLokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra₹ 55.70 Cr Regional performance remains a major highlight, especially in Karnataka. The film has officially collected 12.49 crore gross in the state, narrowly surpassing the 12.48 crore mark set by Empuraan to emerge as Mohanlal's highest-grossing film in Karnataka. Meanwhile, in North America, the film is holding steady with a Friday gross of 34,000 dollars, taking its total in that territory to 1.83 million dollars. These numbers suggest a very long and profitable road ahead for the producers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ground-level occupancy data further illustrates this success. In Kerala, Kochi remains the strongest performer with a staggering 56.8 percent occupancy, followed by Trivandrum at 33.5 percent. Even in non-Malayalam speaking regions like Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the film is attracting crowds with 25.5 percent and 16.5 percent occupancy respectively. This consistent interest across nearly 2,570 shows on Saturday alone is what is keeping the moolah flowing into the kitty. Looking at the ticket windows, the volume is quite substantial.

May 2026 Box Office Report: Regional Cinema Dominates With Kruppu, Drishyam 3, Raja Shivaji Amid Bollywood's Struggle

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 30 - May 2026 turned out to be one of the most successful months for the Indian box office, with at least three major theatrical wins across the film industry. While the Tamil and Malayalam film industries continued their solid run through Karuppu and Drishyam 3, respectively, the biggest surprise came from Marathi cinema as Deool Band 2 emerged as an unexpected blockbuster, amid the underperforming Bollywood titles. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Karuppu and Drishyam 3's Blockbuster Run Suriya's Karuppu turned out to be a massive commercial success for Tamil cinema. Directed by RJ Balaji, the action drama shattered every major career record for Suriya and maintained extraordinary momentum throughout the month. Released on May 15, the film has crossed 270 crores worldwide in just 15 days so far, also earning more than 2x of Suriya's previous biggest grosser, Singam 2. The film has performed exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu with 130+ crores gross so far, while also drawing strong support from the rest of the domestic and overseas audiences. Meanwhile, Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 once again showcased the power of one of Indian cinema's most celebrated thriller franchises. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film opened to phenomenal numbers and continued its solid run across domestic and overseas markets despite mixed reception. Kerala led the charge on the domestic front, but the overseas market is once again proving to be a major contributor for a Malayalam title. In just 8 days so far, the film has minted 200+ crores worldwide, including 100+ crores overseas collection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Marathi Cinema Wins Big With Raja Shivaji's and Deool Band 2 Marathi cinema has emerged as a major winner this month with the blockbuster run of Raja Shivaji, and an unexpected success in Deool Band 2. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji scripted history by emerging as the highest-grossing Marathi film of all-time, beating Sairat's 110 crores record, which stood for nearly 10 years. Released on May 1st, the historical epic has grossed over 115 crores worldwide in 29 days so far. Meanwhile, devotional drama, Deool Band 2, scored the limelight by delivering a surprise success. After a 2.90 crore gross opening, the film witnessed solid growth over the weekend due to positive word of mouth and showed remarkable consistency on weekdays. In 8 days so far, the film has minted 39+ crores gross, and is marching towards 50 crores, which is a blockbuster for the film of its scale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bollywood Underperforms With Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil In contrast to the regional dominance, May 2026 also witnessed disappointments in Hindi cinema. Films like Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil failed to generate the theatrical momentum the industry had expected. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do struggled to attract audiences despite being a sequel. The film opened to underwhelming occupancies and failed to show significant growth over the weekend. While PPAWD has managed to cross 50 crores worldwide, the overall total remains low considering the scale and expectations. Similarly, romantic drama Chand Mera Dil also failed to capitalise on its urban appeal and music-driven promotions. After failing to score a decent opening, the film hasn't shown the momentum required for a rebound. It has grossed around 28.50 crores so far in 8 days, which is a poor collection.

Kochi, May 30 - Malayalam cinema continues its dream run at the box office as megastar Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 has achieved yet another major milestone. The crime thriller has crossed the 100 crore mark in India gross collections and has simultaneously entered the prestigious 200 crore worldwide club within just nine days of release, emerging as one of the biggest successes of 2026. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment of the iconic Drishyam franchise opened to massive anticipation and quickly translated that excitement into impressive box office numbers. Despite the mixed audience reception, the film has collected approximately 100+ crore gross in India, becoming the 8th Malayalam film to do so, while overseas markets have contributed around 108 crore, taking its total worldwide gross to an outstanding 208 crore in nine days.

In fact, overseas collections have outpaced domestic earnings throughout most of its theatrical run, highlighting the global appeal of the franchise and Mohanlal's star power. Drishyam 3 had already signalled blockbuster potential by crossing the 100 crore worldwide mark in just three days, becoming one of the fastest Malayalam films to achieve the feat. The film maintained strong momentum throughout its first week and comfortably crossed the double-century mark globally during its second weekend.

The film has also become one of the select Malayalam titles to cross the 200-crore milestone worldwide, underscoring the industry's growing commercial reach. Featuring Mohanlal in his celebrated role of Georgekutty alongside Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sharath, and Siddique, the thriller continues to attract audiences despite the arrival of new releases. With strong word-of-mouth support and sustained overseas business, the film is expected to add significantly to its total in the coming days.

Drishyam 3 Week 1 Collection: Mohanlal Starrer Surpasses the 100 Crore Overseas Milestone

BY SACNILK

The Georgekutty legacy continues to redefine the boundaries of Malayalam cinema. Ever since Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal first introduced us to the world of Drishyam, the franchise has become a global phenomenon. With the release of Drishyam 3, the anticipation was at an all-time high, and the first eight days of its theatrical run have lived up to every bit of that hype. The film has not only dominated the local market but has also made a significant impact on the international stage, proving that well-crafted thrillers have a universal appeal. Looking at the performance on day 8, which was the second Thursday, the film showed incredible stability. It collected 6.50 crore net across India, which is just a minimal 2.3% drop from the previous day. This kind of hold on a weekday, especially after a massive opening week, suggests that the movie is benefiting from very strong word-of-mouth. So far, the film has been screened across 38,373 shows, maintaining a healthy occupancy rate even in its second week. The Malayalam version remains the primary driver, particularly in the home state of Kerala. When we break down the collections by region for the first week, it is clear that the movie is a massive hit across South India. Kerala, as expected, led the charts with a staggering gross. Here is how the state-wise gross collections look for the opening week: Kerala: ₹62.65 Cr Karnataka: ₹11.59 Cr APTG (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana): ₹7.98 Cr Tamil Nadu: ₹7.25 Cr Rest of India: ₹5.44 Cr Total India Gross (8 Days): ₹94.91 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The international performance is where Drishyam 3 has truly smashed records. The film has already crossed the 10 million dollar mark in overseas collections within just seven days, a feat rarely achieved by regional films. According to reports from Venky Box Office, the North American market has been a major contributor. By Wednesday, the film had earned 42,000 dollars, taking its total in North America to a solid 1.77 million dollars. On its eighth day, the overseas market added another 5.50 crore, bringing the total overseas gross to 103 crore. This brings the overall worldwide gross collection to 197.91 crore, just a few steps away from the 200 crore milestone. The ticket sales data provides further evidence of this dominance. On BookMyShow, Drishyam 3 has sold over 3.16 million tickets by the end of its first week. To put this into perspective, this places it at the number two spot for the highest ticket sales for a Malayalam film since 2024, trailing only behind Empuraan. The film has consistently seen over 200,000 tickets sold daily on the platform throughout its first week. Additionally, ticket sales through national chains have crossed the 300,000 mark, excluding premiere shows, which highlights its massive reach across multiplexes.

Akshay Kumar Confirms Ambitious Alien Thriller Samuk; Shares His Vision For Sci-Fi Film

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 29 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is gearing up to explore an entirely new cinematic space with Samuk, an ambitious alien survival thriller backed by producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by Kanishk Varma. The film, which is currently in pre-production, is being envisioned as one of the most technically advanced and genre-defining projects attempted in Indian cinema. "A Never-Seen-Before Cinema" (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Speaking about the film in an exclusive interaction with Variety India, Akshay Kumar admitted that Samuk instantly stood out because of its fresh concept and scale. The actor revealed that the project offers something Indian audiences have rarely experienced before in mainstream cinema. Calling it a "never-seen-before" thriller, Akshay shared that the film combines survival horror, intense action, and extraterrestrial suspense in a grounded yet cinematic manner. The actor also expressed excitement about stepping into the sci-fi genre in such a large-scale setup, blending military realism with high-intensity survival sequences. Producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah emphasised that Samuk is not being treated as a conventional Bollywood entertainer. Instead, the makers are aiming to create a globally mounted sci-fi thriller with strong emotional storytelling and realistic action. Director Kanishk Varma reportedly drew inspiration from iconic international alien survival films but wanted Samuk to have its own identity rooted in Indian storytelling sensibilities. One of the film's biggest creative decisions is the use of practical creature effects instead of depending heavily on computer-generated imagery. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Hollywood Technician On Board To achieve that vision, the team has brought on board Hollywood creature designer Alec Gillis, best known for his work on globally acclaimed franchises like Alien and Predator. Gillis will design the extraterrestrial creature for Samuk, with the makers aiming to create a terrifying and physically realistic on-screen presence. The project has also roped in action expert Luke Tumber, who has worked on major international productions, including films from the Mission: Impossible franchise. Samuk also marks Akshay Kumar's reunion with Vipul Amrutlal Shah after several successful collaborations in the past. Their partnership has delivered multiple commercial entertainers over the years, and expectations are already high for this latest venture. At a time when Indian cinema is increasingly experimenting with new genres and storytelling formats, Samuk could emerge as a landmark project if executed successfully. The shoot of the film is expected to begin in August this year for a grand theatrical release in 2027.

The Paradise Box Office War: Nani Set for a Historic Showdown Against Suriya, Dulquer, and Prithviraj This August

BY SACNILK

The upcoming August 2026 box office window is shaping up to be one of the most crowded and high-stakes periods for South Indian cinema in recent memory. Within a span of just eight days, four major superstars are bringing their highly anticipated projects to the big screen. This lineup creates a massive logistical challenge for theater owners and a feast for moviegoers, but it also raises important questions about whether such a close release schedule is a benefit or a risk for the industry. The wave begins on August 14 with Suriya's Vishwanath and Sons. Directed by Venky Atluri, this film stands out from the rest as it is a nuanced family drama and sports-romance rather than a typical mass-genre entertainer. Suriya plays an international pistol-shooting champion in a bilingual project shot in both Tamil and Telugu. While it gets a head start by releasing almost a week earlier, it will need to maintain strong word-of-mouth to survive the onslaught of three massive action films arriving just days later. The real explosion happens on August 20, when two of Malayalam cinema's biggest stars, Dulquer Salmaan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, go head-to-head. Dulquer's I'm Game, directed by Nahas Hidayath, is a pan-Indian action-thriller exploring themes of cricket betting and fantasy gaming. On the same day, Prithviraj's Khalifa hits theaters. Subtitled The Bloodline, this underworld saga features an extended cameo by Mohanlal, which has already sent expectations soaring. These two films will compete directly for screen space in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and international markets like the Middle East. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The pressure intensifies just 24 hours later on August 21, with the release of Nani's period action-drama, The Paradise. Directed by Srikanth Odela and featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, this film is set in the 1980s slums of Secunderabad. While Nani is expected to dominate the Telugu states, the overlap with the other releases is undeniable. In an interesting twist, actress Kayadu Lohar finds herself as the female lead in both I'm Game and The Paradise, meaning she will literally be competing against herself at the box office on the same weekend. A clash of this magnitude acts as a double-edged sword for the industry. On the positive side, it creates a massive surge in overall footfalls, turning the weekend into a festival-like atmosphere. The wide variety of genres—ranging from Suriya's family sports drama to the gritty underworld themes of Khalifa and the period setting of The Paradise—ensures that there is something for every type of moviegoer. The real challenge, however, lies in how the screens are distributed once the word of mouth kicks in. Unlike a solo release where a hit can monopolize every screen in a city, these four films will have to fight to retain their shows from the very first day. An average film that might have survived in a solo window could see its screens replaced much faster in this scenario, as theaters will have three other high-demand alternatives ready to take over. It effectively becomes a survival of the fittest scenario where only the strongest content will thrive. Furthermore, the marketing costs for each production house will skyrocket as they fight for the audience's attention in a cluttered space. While Nani's The Paradise may hold the upper hand in the AP-TG region and Dulquer's I'm Game might lead in Tamil and Malayalam markets, the overlap in the Telugu-Tamil bilingual space for Suriya and the pan-Indian aspirations of the others will lead to a fragmented box office. Ultimately, the success of this August madness will depend on whether the quality of the content can sustain four different narratives simultaneously, or if one dominant film will eventually push the others out of the race.

Drishyam 3 Box Office: Mohanlal's Thriller Becomes 7th Malayalam Movie to Cross 3 Million Tickets on BookMyShow

BY SACNILK

The Drishyam franchise is more than just a series of films; it is a global phenomenon that redefined the thriller genre in Indian cinema. Ever since Georgekutty first buried that secret under a police station, audiences worldwide have been hooked on the genius of Jeethu Joseph and the unmatched screen presence of Mohanlal. The anticipation for Drishyam 3 was at a fever pitch, with fans across the globe eager to see if Georgekutty could once again protect his family from the past that never stays silent. Now that the film is out, it isn't just winning hearts—it is completely shattering the record books. Drishyam 3 has officially crossed the major milestone of 3 million ticket sales on BookMyShow on its eighth day. This achievement makes it only the 7th Malayalam movie in history to enter this elite club. What makes this record special is how the film compares to other blockbusters during the same timeframe. By the end of its first week, Drishyam 3 recorded a staggering 2.95 million tickets. For context, during their respective first weeks, Vaazha 2 sold 2.44 million tickets, while Thudarum and Lokah stood at 2.28 million and 2.27 million. Other major hits like Empuraan, Aavesham, and Manjummel Boys recorded 2 million, 1.20 million, and 1.04 million tickets respectively in their opening week. This clearly shows that Drishyam 3 is currently trending at a much faster pace than any other film before it.

On its opening day alone, the film logged an unprecedented 587K tickets on BookMyShow. This destroyed the previous Day 1 record held by Thudarum (430K) and L2: Empuraan (381K), proving that the brand value of Georgekutty is currently in a league of its own.

In terms of historical rankings, Lokah Chapter 1 remains the benchmark on the platform with 5.50 million tickets. However, with Drishyam 3 already joining the elite group of seven Malayalam films to cross the 3 million mark, it is now trending towards the higher tiers of this list. Given its current pace and the support from a total of 34,920 shows, the film is well-positioned to move closer to the final totals of previous top performers like Vaazha 2 and Thudarum as it continues its theatrical run.
