Drishyam 3: What to Expect from the Upcoming Thriller

What Happened

Drishyam 3, the highly anticipated third installment of the popular Malayalam film franchise, is set to release on April 2, 2026. Starring Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil, the film is directed by Jeethu Joseph and aims to break multiple box office records upon its debut. The film’s announcement has generated significant buzz, especially following the success of the Hindi remake, Drishyam 2, led by Ajay Devgn.

Why It Matters

The Drishyam franchise is one of the most beloved in Mollywood, and the upcoming release is expected to set new benchmarks in terms of both scale and box office collections. With Mohanlal’s recent success in the industry, where he starred in three films that grossed over 200 crore globally, anticipation for Drishyam 3 has reached new heights. The film is projected to target records for the highest day one collection in India, the overseas market, and worldwide box office.

What’s Next

In a notable twist, reports suggest that the Malayalam and Hindi versions of Drishyam 3 may feature different storylines, diverging from the typical remake format. This creative decision could provide audiences with distinct cinematic experiences, as both films will explore the franchise’s core themes of suspense, family bonds, and moral dilemmas while offering unique narrative arcs. The Hindi version, also directed by Abhishek Pathak, is scheduled for release on October 2, 2026, six months after the Malayalam original.
