The box office aura of Mohanlal shone brighter than ever as his crime-investigation thriller Drishyam 3 stormed the cinemas with a historic debut across major languages, excluding Hindi. Helmed by Jeethu Joseph, the much-awaited sequel opened to mixed word of mouth, yet numbers spoke louder than opinions. The film delivered the biggest opening day of Mohanlal’s career, once again underlining his enduring star power.
Release day turned into a fascinating case of “Mohanlal versus Mohanlal” at the ticket counters. On day one, Drishyam 3 clocked an astonishing 587.4K ticket sales on BookMyShow. In the process, it comfortably raced past his earlier crowd-pullers Thudarum with 419K tickets and L2: Empuraan with 381K.
This remarkable feat not only marks the highest opening day ever in Mohanlal’s illustrious career, but also sets a new all-time record for a Mollywood film on the platform. Mixed reactions or not, Drishyam 3 has already etched its name in box office history, proving that when Mohanlal arrives, records don’t just tremble, they fall.
