Drishyam 3 Box Office: Becomes First South Indian Film of 2026 To Hit $10 Million Overseas

Mumbai, May 28 - Superstar Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 continues its superb box office journey across the globe. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the highly anticipated thriller has now achieved another historic milestone by becoming the first South Indian film of 2026 to cross the $10 million mark in overseas markets.

The third instalment of the iconic Drishyam franchise has turned into a worldwide phenomenon since its theatrical release, despite mixed word of mouth. The film has recorded excellent collections in major international territories, including the Gulf, North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

The overseas performance of Drishyam 3 has been brilliant right from its opening weekend. The film witnessed packed shows across several international markets, with Malayalam cinema fans turning out in huge numbers to experience Georgekutty's latest chapter on the big screen. The franchise value and Mohanlal's massive popularity among global audiences have played a key role in the film's brilliant run.

What makes this achievement even more significant is that Drishyam 3 has become the first South Indian film of the year to enter the prestigious $10 million overseas club, outperforming several big-budget releases from multiple industries. Among the biggest Malayalam overseas grossers, the Mohanlal starrer has become the third biggest, and is expected to finish at least with the second position.

Apart from its phenomenal overseas numbers, the film is also performing solidly domestically. With strong occupancy during weekdays and massive support from family audiences, Drishyam 3 is heading towards becoming one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time. Given its current momentum, Drishyam 3 is expected to continue dominating the box office in the second week also.
