The much-anticipated third installment of the iconic Drishyam series is poised to set the global box office ablaze as it hits theaters this weekend. With unparalleled hype and buzz, the Mohanlal-starrer has already shattered records by amassing a colossal Rs. 25 crore in advance bookings worldwide.
As the countdown to its opening weekend continues, Drishyam 3 is on the brink of achieving an astounding Rs. 27 crore in its initial days. An enormous Rs. 18–19 crore of these staggering figures comes solely from opening day pre-sales. In Kerala alone, eager fans have pushed preview sales beyond an impressive Rs. 6 crore.
With just a day and a half before the grand premiere, the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Expectations soar that the movie could reel in at least Rs. 35 crore in pre-release bookings, second only to the box office juggernaut L2: Empuraan for Malayalam cinema.
