Drishyam 3 continues to perform strongly at the Kerala box office. The Malayalam film, starring Mohanlal, collected another Rs. 6.60 crore on its first Monday. The film saw a 40 per cent drop compared to its opening day collection, but it still maintained a steady performance in theatres.
With this, the total 5 day collection of Drishyam 3 in Kerala has reached Rs. 45.20 crore gross. The film is now expected to cross the Rs. 50 crore mark by Tuesday night. According to current trends, the movie is likely to finish its first week with collections between Rs. 57 crore and Rs. 60 crore.
The film has also entered the race to become one of the highest grossing Malayalam movies in Kerala. Trade reports suggest that if the strong audience response continues, Drishyam 3 has a good chance of entering the Rs. 100 crore club during its full theatrical run.
The Drishyam franchise has remained highly popular among Malayalam cinema audiences over the years. The first film became an Industry Hit after its release and received praise for its story and performances. The second part of the franchise did not get a theatrical release because of the lockdown during the pandemic period. As a result, many fans were waiting to watch the third instalment on the big screen.
Now, with Drishyam 3 running successfully in theatres, the film is receiving strong support from audiences across Kerala. It will be interesting to see whether the movie can cross the box office collections of Lokah Chapter One: Chandra and Vaazha 2 to become the new Industry Hit in Kerala.
The day wise Kerala box office collections of Drishyam 3 are as follows:
Day 1: Rs. 11.00 crore
Day 2: Rs. 8.80 crore
Day 3: Rs. 9.20 crore
Day 4: Rs. 9.60 crore
Day 5: Rs. 6.60 crore (estimated)
Total collection: Rs. 45.20 crore gross
The coming days will now decide how far the movie can go at the box office.
