Jeethu Joseph's Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, has been released in theatres on May 21, coinciding with the actor's 66th birthday. The film has received a positive audience response, but its opening-day numbers have failed to surpass those of L2: Empuraan.
According to Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 collected ₹10.56 crore net in India on its opening day from 5396 shows. The film had an occupancy of 50.5% on its opening day.
For context, L2 Empuraan collected ₹21 crore on its opening day in 2025, while Thudarum brought in ₹5.45 crore. Drishyam 3 has outperformed the opening collections of Mohanlal's other recent releases.
Drishyam 3 is written and directed by Jeethu Joseph and produced by Antony Perumbavoor for Aashirvad Cinemas. The film sees Mohanlal reprising his role as Georgekutty, along with Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, Siddique, and Asha Sarath.
The film continues the story from Drishyam and Drishyam 2, and ends with a hint at Drishyam 4 might be in store, with Mohanlal also hinting at a fifth film before its release.
