Jeethu Joseph’s Mohanlal-starrer Drishyam 3 was released in theatres on May 21 and within days of its release has grossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide. The third film in the hit franchise was released amid high expectations and received mixed reviews. However, the film has performed well at the box office.

Esther Anil, Mohanlal, Ansiba Haasan and Meena play the leads in Drishyam 3.

Drishyam grosses ₹100 crore in 58 hours

Mohanlal announced on social media that Drishyam 3 has crossed the ₹100 crore mark in 58 hours. Sharing a poster with this written on it, he captioned the post: “Thank you for carrying this journey with us for 13 years. Your love, support, and belief in this story continue to humble us every day. #Drishyam3 running successfully in theatres near you.” Drishyam 3 had grossed ₹50 crore on its opening day.

According to the trade website Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 collected ₹40.60 crore net and ₹47.17 crore gross in India so far. The film has been performing well overseas, having collected ₹25 crore on day 3 from abroad versus ₹13.70 crore net in India. The film’s overseas gross stands at ₹70 crore, with the worldwide total standing at ₹117.17 crore. The film is the third-highest-grossing Malayalam film after Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros ( ₹221.19 crore) and Aadu 3 ( ₹120.11 crore).

Drishyam 3 has beaten the lifetime collection of films such as Mammootty-Mohanlal’s Patriot ( ₹79.92 crore) and Unni Mukundan’s Marco ( ₹102.55 crore). The film has yet to surpass the actor’s highest-grossing film L2 Empuraan, which collected ₹137.59 crore worldwide in three days. It remains to be seen if Drishyam 3 joins the ₹200 crore club with Mohanlal’s L2 Empuraan and Thudarum.
