Bhubaneswar, June 29 (newsalert24x7): Malayalam cinema’s ultimate powerhouse, superstar Mohanlal, took to social media on Monday to celebrate a historic milestone as his blockbusting thriller 'Drishyam 3' officially completed 40 phenomenal days in theatres.

Expressing deep gratitude to millions of fans worldwide who have turned the suspense franchise into an Indian cinematic phenomenon, the actor reflected on the long journey of his iconic character, Georgekutty.

"A story that began with hope. A legacy that continues with trust. Celebrating 40 remarkable days of Drishyam 3," Mohanlal shared on his X (formerly Twitter) timeline.

Global Box Office Destruction: Over Rs 330 Crore Grossed

Despite facing an initial release delay—pushing its launch from April to May 21, 2026, due to tense geopolitical situations in the Gulf markets—Drishyam 3 has shattered box office records globally.

  • The Milestone: By June 14, the film had already crossed the monumental Rs 330 crore gross mark worldwide.
  • Pan-India Appeal: While originating from Kerala, the film has drawn massive footfalls across non-Malayalam speaking states, cementing its status as a pan-India juggernaut.

The Evolution of Georgekutty's Battle

Directed by the master of suspense, Jeethu Joseph, and produced under Mohanlal's long-time collaborator Antony Perumbavoor's banner, the third installment picks up the pieces of the crime that started it all.

According to director Jeethu Joseph, the current film dives deep into what unfolds in Georgekutty’s high-stakes life after a gap of four-and-a-half years from where the sequel left off. Shot across breathtaking yet intense locales like Thodupuzha, Vagamon, and Ernakulam, the film delivers an edge-of-the-seat conclusion to a 13-year-old saga.

A Golden Era for Mohanlal

The massive success of Drishyam 3 arrives during a legendary phase in Mohanlal’s career. The superstar began principal photography for this film immediately after being conferred with Indian cinema’s highest honor, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, late last year.

With the original 2013 film setting benchmarks and the 2021 sequel dominating streaming spaces, Drishyam 3 completes a flawless trilogy that will go down in history as one of Indian cinema's greatest thrillers.
