Mohanlal’s Thriller Joins the Rs 100 Crore Club, Raking in Massive Collections Globally
The much‑anticipated Drishyam 3 smashed box‑office records, crossing the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide by its third day, with strong domestic and overseas earnings.
Just three days after its grand release, Mohanlal’s much‑talked‑about sequel Drishyam 3 has officially entered the coveted Rs 100 crore club. The figure isn’t just a rounded number – it’s a tally that combines the buzz‑driven domestic takings with a surprisingly healthy response from overseas markets.
On day one, the film opened to a thunderous response in Kerala, pulling in roughly ₹5.8 crore. The momentum didn’t fade; day two added another ₹6.2 crore, and the third day contributed close to ₹5 crore, pushing the Indian total past the ₹50 crore threshold.
What really tipped the scales, though, was the overseas performance. The United Arab Emirates, a long‑standing stronghold for Malayalam cinema, contributed over ₹2 crore in just three days. Meanwhile, markets like the United Kingdom, United States, and Singapore chipped in modest but significant sums, collectively nudging the global collection beyond the ₹100 crore mark.
Industry insiders are already speculating that the film could finish its run well north of the ₹120 crore range, especially if word‑of‑mouth continues to flow. Critics have praised Mohanlal’s magnetic screen presence and the tight, edge‑of‑your‑seat narrative that the director has managed to sustain across all three installments.
For fans, the numbers are just the icing on the cake. They’ve gotten to see a story that feels both familiar and fresh, with twists that keep you guessing until the very end. For the producers, it’s a clear sign that Malayalam cinema is not just surviving but thriving on a pan‑Indian and global stage.
As the buzz continues to build, the next few weeks will reveal whether Drishyam 3 can sustain this pace or if it will settle into a respectable, though perhaps less spectacular, final tally. Either way, crossing the Rs 100 crore milestone in such a short span is a testament to the film’s appeal, the star power of Mohanlal, and the growing appetite for regional stories worldwide.
