Drishyam 3 review: The much-awaited day is here as Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 is now out in theatres. Several visuals from the theatres have surfaced online as fans flocked to catch the early shows of the film. While only a handful of reviews are seen on X, formerly Twitter, makers have urged fans not to drop spoilers on the internet.

No spoilers for Drishyam 3

Loyal fans amplified the request with a poster on X which read, “Say no to spoilers. Don't ruin the moment. Let others enjoy the story too”. One of them wrote in the caption, “No spoilers for Drishyam 3.”

A different user posted a review of Drishyam 3 post interval and hailed it. The user wrote, “Fun with some emotional elements overall well worked for me.”

One more user said, “#Drishyam3 - First Half - Typical Drishyam model first half with more intensity. The movie picked up as expected towards the interval point. All set for the main show in second half! #Mohanlal as usual terrific and #Meena seems to be Rani mode for last 13 years. Pitch perfect!”

“Superb first half, intense tension building & interval sequence,” said someone else, also adding, “So far much better than D2 (Drishyam 2) FH.”

A yet another detailed review claimed: “The story takes a bit of a dramatic turn, but it really picks up at the break with something big happening. The twists might not quite ring true, but the story is still pretty captivating. The second half is super important for the film to really shine. I’m looking forward to seeing what else surprises us!”

Meanwhile, more reviews are expected to be out around 11 am after the morning shows.

Earlier in the day, Mohanlal announced the film release during the first morning show in selected Kerala theatres. He dropped a poster and tagged the film director Jeethu Joseph and others with a simple caption, “Drishyam 3 - In Theatres Worldwide From Today! #Drishyam3 @jeethu4ever @antonypbvr @KumarMangat @jayantilalgada @AbhishekPathakk @aashirvadcine @PanoramaMovies @PenMovies @Rajeshmenon1969 #RavindraAuti @ram_rampagepix @Abh1navMehrotra @drishyam3movie #EmilVincent #AnishaAntony #MeenaSagar #AnsibaHassan #EstherAnil @pharsfilm @PanoramaMusic_”
