Despite opening to mixed reviews, Mohanlal’s much-anticipated Drishyam 3 is proving that audience curiosity can outshine critical chatter. Typically, big releases see a sharp dip after day one if word of mouth wavers. This time, the script flipped.
The film posted exceptionally strong collections on its second day, marking the biggest Day 2 ever in Kerala and even surpassing Mohanlal’s own L2: Empuraan. With momentum firmly on its side, Drishyam 3 is now expected to clock impressive weekend numbers.
Adding a fresh twist to the franchise strategy, the film was dubbed and released in multiple South Indian languages, expanding its reach beyond Kerala. Helmed by Jeethu Joseph, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Meena, Siddique, Asha Sharath, Murali Gopy, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil, all reprising or stepping into pivotal roles.
In short, mixed reviews aside, Drishyam 3 is cashing in on legacy, suspense, and sheer audience pull, with the box office telling a confident story.
