Overview
- Drishyam 3, which opens on Thursday, May 21, is reporting unusually high advance bookings with industry trackers citing worldwide pre‑sales in the roughly Rs. 24–30 crore range.
- BookMyShow data and box‑office trackers show hundreds of thousands of tickets sold pre‑release, with BMS counts reported between about 334,000 and 454,000 depending on the tracker and time stamp.
- Trade sources say the film will play on about 2,700 screens across roughly 66 countries, with nearly 1,200 screens in India and more than 1,500 overseas, a footprint aimed at a pan‑Indian turnout.
- The Central Board of Film Certification’s Thiruvananthapuram office cleared all versions with a U/A certificate and requested only minor static warnings and a muted expletive in one dubbed version.
- Director Jeethu Joseph has publicly reflected that the original Drishyam unintentionally skewed audience sympathy toward Georgekutty, and the threequel’s performance will be watched as a barometer of Mollywood’s wider box‑office pull.
