Drishyam 3 Box Office Collection Day 1 Live Updates: Mohanlal's latest release, Drishyam 3, is predicted to be one of the biggest box office hits from Malayalam cinema. The film was released on 21 May on the occasion of Mohanlal's 66th birthday. During advance booking, the film has already surpassed the ₹35 crore mark worldwide, pushing its opening business to ₹50 crore globally.
Drishyam 3 is presently running across 2,847 screens. It has collected a net of ₹4.42 crore so far. The total India gross collections is ₹5.22 crore so far.
Going by the language-wise trends for Day 1, Drishyam 3 is being driven overwhelmingly by its home market, with Malayalam accounting for the bulk of the business in the early hours. The film collected an estimated ₹3.80 crore net in Malayalam with 59% occupancy across 1,801 shows.
Outside Malayalam, the contribution remains comparatively limited at this stage. The Telugu version registered around ₹41 lakh net with 20% occupancy across 693 shows.
The Tamil-dubbed one has added approximately ₹16 lakh at 27% occupancy from 252 shows. Meanwhile, the Kannada-speaking belt opened on a modest note, with ₹5 lakh in grossesand 15% occupancy across 101 shows, according to Sacnilk.
Considering this, the total India net collections of the Mohanlal-starrer come to ₹4.42 crore so far (4 PM).
The worldwide collection of Drishyam 3 is yet to be out.
However, these are real-time earnings, and the film is expected to grow throughout the day. The final figures will be revealed after the night shows.
Meanwhile, the impressive advance booking momentum has placed Drishyam 3 on the verge of a historic start at the ticket window. After closing final Day 1 pre-sales at around ₹35 crore gross worldwide, the Mohanlal starrer is said to be heading for a potential ₹50 crore-plus worldwide opening day.
The surge in final bookings, combined with strong spot booking potential and fan-driven occupancies, has boosted expectations upward. Earlier projections pointed towards an opening in the ₹40 crore range.
The biggest driving force behind this momentum has been the film’s overseas performance, with international advances alone contributing more than ₹22 crore for Day 1. At the same time, Kerala has emerged as one of the strongest booking trends ever seen for a Malayalam release. With weekend advances already approaching ₹48 crore worldwide and audience interest extending well beyond opening day, trade expectations remain extremely optimistic. If word-of-mouth favours the film after the first shows, Drishyam 3 can become one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest openings ever.
Mohanlal was spotted arriving at Kochi’s popular single-screen theatre, Kavitha Movie House to watch his film in the early hours.
The makers of Drishyam 3 previously requested fans not to share spoilers online.
