Drishyam 3 continues its successful run at the Kerala box office, maintaining a steady performance during its second week in theatres. The crime thriller collected an estimated Rs. 2 crore on its second Monday. While this represented a 50 per cent drop compared to its second Friday earnings, the film remains one of the strongest performers currently playing in cinemas.
With its latest collection, the film’s second week total has reached Rs. 15.60 crore in just 4 days. Based on its current pace, Drishyam 3 is expected to finish its second week with earnings of around Rs. 20 crore. The steady collections indicate that audience interest remains strong even after the impressive opening week.
The Mohanlal starrer has now collected Rs. 78.30 crore gross at the Kerala box office. The film is expected to cross the Rs. 80 crore mark by the end of the day and will then aim for the Rs. 85 crore milestone in the coming days. Industry observers believe the film could continue attracting audiences over the next few weeks, which may help it cross the prestigious Rs. 100 crore gross mark in Kerala.
If that happens, Drishyam 3 will become only the fourth Malayalam film to achieve the Rs. 100 crore milestone in its home market. The achievement would further strengthen the film’s position among the biggest Malayalam releases of recent years.
The movie also has an opportunity to challenge the collections of some of the highest grossing films in Kerala, including Vaazha 2 and Lokah Chapter One: Chandra. However, to reach those levels, the film will need to maintain strong momentum and consistent audience support for several more weeks.
Here is the day wise Kerala box office performance of Drishyam 3 so far:
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
Day 6: Rs. 5.80 crore
Day 7: Rs. 6.00 crore
Day 8: Rs. 5.70 crore
Day 9: Rs. 4.25 crore
Day 10: Rs. 4.50 crore
Day 11: Rs. 4.85 crore
Day 12: Rs. 2.00 crore (estimated)

With strong word of mouth and continued audience interest, Drishyam 3 remains on track for more milestones in the weeks ahead. Its performance will be closely watched as it attempts to join the exclusive list of Malayalam films that have crossed Rs. 100 crore gross in Kerala.
