Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 continued its strong run in cinemas over its second weekend, registering a notable rise in collections and crossing another significant milestone at the global box office.
The mystery thriller, directed by Jeethu Joseph, witnessed renewed momentum on Saturday after a slowdown the previous day. With steady footfalls in domestic markets and sustained support from overseas audiences, the film's worldwide earnings have now surpassed ₹219 crore.
According to trade tracking website Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 collected an estimated ₹5.05 crore net in India on Day 10 across 2,570 shows.
The latest figure marks a 17.4% increase from Day 9, when the film earned ₹4.30 crore net. The weekend growth helped the film recover from the dip witnessed on Friday and continue its steady theatrical run.
With Day 10 collections included, the film's India net earnings have reached ₹91.30 crore, while its India gross collection stands at ₹105.94 crore.
The film also continued to perform strongly in international markets.
According to the latest figures, Drishyam 3 collected ₹6 crore overseas on Day 10. This pushed its overseas gross collection to ₹113.75 crore.
Combined with its domestic performance, the film's worldwide gross collection has now climbed to ₹219.69 crore.
The latest milestone further strengthens the film's position among the notable Malayalam releases of the year, with the mystery drama continuing to attract audiences both in India and abroad.
The film had concluded its first week with a strong collection of ₹81.95 crore.
It added ₹6.65 crore on Day 8 before collections dropped to ₹4.30 crore on Day 9. Saturday's earnings of ₹5.05 crore helped reverse that trend and provided a fresh boost during the second weekend.
The growth indicates that audience interest has remained steady despite the film entering its second week in theatres.
The Malayalam version remained the primary contributor to the film's overall earnings on Day 10.
According to Sacnilk data, the language-wise breakdown stood as follows:
Occupancy trends also reflected stronger audience turnout during evening and night shows.
Overall Malayalam occupancy stood at 38.35%, while night shows emerged as the strongest segment with occupancy reaching 56.83%.
Among domestic territories, Kerala remained the film's biggest market.
The state contributed ₹4.35 crore in gross collections on Day 10. Karnataka followed with ₹61 lakh, while Tamil Nadu added ₹35 lakh.
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributed ₹25 lakh, while the Rest of India market generated another ₹30 lakh.
The numbers highlight the film's strong base in Kerala while also maintaining a presence in neighbouring markets through dubbed and regional versions.
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Drishyam 3 stars Mohanlal in the lead role.
The film also features Meena, Ansiba Hassan and Esther Anil in key roles.
The supporting cast includes Siddique, Murali Gopy, Biju Menon and Kalabhavan Shajohn.
The latest instalment continues the story that began with the highly successful Drishyam franchise, which has earned a loyal following over the years and inspired remakes in multiple Indian languages.
With collections continuing to rise during its second weekend and overseas markets remaining robust, Drishyam 3 appears well-positioned to add more milestones to its box-office journey in the coming days.
