Drishyam 3 Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Mohanlal starrer packs theatre moments
Mohanlal is all set to return as Georgekutty in Drishyam 3, the much-awaited third installment of the blockbuster thriller franchise directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film has generated extraordinary excitement ahead of its theatrical release on May 21.
Advance booking trends indicate a sensational opening. Worldwide pre-sales have already crossed ₹21 crore gross and continue to rise rapidly. Kerala has emerged as the strongest domestic market, contributing around ₹5.50 crore gross in advance sales. Across India, bookings are nearing ₹9 crore gross.
The overseas response has also been exceptional. The Gulf region is leading the international market, while North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia are reporting strong ticket sales. If this momentum continues, global advance bookings could exceed ₹25 crore before the first show begins.
Trade analysts believe Drishyam 3 is on course to open with more than ₹35 crore gross worldwide, which would make it one of the biggest opening days in the history of Malayalam cinema.
Alongside Mohanlal, the film stars Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, Siddique, Asha Sharath, Santhi Mayadevi, and Veena Nandakumar.
The film is expected to continue Georgekutty’s gripping story as the past resurfaces and new threats emerge. Reports suggest the thriller may begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video in late June or early July after its theatrical run.

Mohanlal is ready to reprise his iconic role as Georgekutty in Drishyam 3. The suspense thriller marks the third chapter in the hugely successful franchise directed by Jeethu Joseph. Expectations are extremely high among fans
Mohanlal returns as Georgekutty, the seemingly ordinary man whose intelligence and composure helped him outwit the law in the first two installments of Drishyam. In the third chapter, Georgekutty’s carefully constructed life begins to show cracks as the consequences of his past actions resurface in unexpected ways.
Years after the events that changed his family forever, Georgekutty is living under constant pressure. Though he continues to present himself as a devoted husband, father, and successful businessman, he remains haunted by the possibility that the truth could one day emerge. His fears grow when new developments reopen old wounds and draw the attention of people determined to uncover what really happened.
As fresh evidence comes to light, Georgekutty and his family find themselves trapped in another dangerous game. This time, the threat is more complex and emotionally devastating. Trusted allies may no longer be dependable, and unfamiliar faces introduce new twists that challenge Georgekutty’s ability to stay in control.
Veena Nandakumar’s character is expected to play a significant role in shaping the narrative, while returning characters portrayed by Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil remain central to the emotional core of the story.
With secrets buried deeper than ever and the past closing in from all directions, Georgekutty must once again use his sharp mind and unwavering resolve to protect his family. In Drishyam 3, every decision carries consequences, and the truth may be impossible to hide forever.
