Mohanlal's latest thriller, Drishyam 3, has emerged as a major box office success, crossing the ₹100 crore (approximately $12 million USD) mark worldwide within just three days of its release on May 21. The film opened to packed audiences, particularly in India, where it earned around ₹13.70 crore (about $1.65 million USD) on its third day, a 24% increase from the previous day's earnings of ₹11.05 crore. This brings its total net collection in India to ₹40.60 crore (approximately $4.9 million USD). The film's overseas performance has also been impressive, contributing nearly ₹70 crore (about $8.4 million USD) to its global total, with international earnings reaching around ₹25 crore (approximately $3 million USD) on Day 3 alone.

Despite its rapid success, Drishyam 3 still trails behind Mohanlal's previous film, L2 Empuraan, which had a stronger opening. However, it has outperformed several other recent releases. Notably, Drishyam 3 is set to receive an official Indonesian remake titled Ayah Aku Mau Cerita, which will be released in 2026, marking a significant milestone for Malayalam cinema.
