Drishyam 3 Crosses ₹100 Crore in India as Weekday Box Office Slows

The milestone signals early profitability with slowing weekday receipts threatening the film’s ability to extend its lead overseas or rise in Malayalam all-time rankings.

Overview

  • Trade tracker Sacnilk reports that Drishyam 3 reached ₹100.45 crore net in India on its 13th day, making it the sixth Malayalam film to enter the ₹100 crore club.
  • Worldwide totals differ by tracker but sit in a roughly ₹224–230 crore range, reflecting variation in how international grosses are estimated and reported.
  • The film posted a sharp midweek fall on Day 12 with about ₹2.20 crore net, a roughly 49–59% drop from Day 11, and then recorded its lowest single-day total of ₹1.55 crore on Day 13.
  • Drishyam 3 had a strong opening week (about ₹81.95 crore net) driven by Mohanlal and franchise loyalty, yet outlets cite mixed word-of-mouth and regional factors such as school reopenings and the monsoon as contributors to the weekday slump.
  • Estimated production budgets near ₹50 crore lead some trackers to call the picture a 'Hit' on current returns, but sustained weekend recovery and screen counts will determine final profitability and whether it can climb the list of top Malayalam grossers.
