Drishyam 3: Not The Finale? Record Opening Ends With A Sinister Promise Of Part 4

BY SACNILK

The wait for one of the most anticipated films of 2026 is finally over. Georgekutty has returned to the big screen with Drishyam 3, and as expected, the movie is off to a record-breaking start at the box office. While fans flocked to theaters thinking this would be the grand finale of the much-loved franchise, it turns out there is a massive surprise waiting for them at the end of the film. For months, it was widely believed that this third part would conclude the story of the Salgaonkar family. However, we have some exciting news for those who want more. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Drishyam 3 does not end the saga. Instead, it finishes at a very decisive point that directly sets the stage for a fourth installment. The report suggests that the way the events unfold in the climax, we can expect Drishyam 4 to be even more thrilling and sinister than anything we have seen before. This revelation has added an entirely new layer of excitement for the audience. The franchise, which started in 2013, has a history of keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The first part became the highest-grossing Malayalam film of its time, and the second part received massive acclaim during its digital release in 2021. Now, with director Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal back together, the expectation was already through the roof, and the promise of a sequel only makes it bigger. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The scale of this release is also something worth talking about. Bollywood Hungama previously shared that the movie has taken over nearly 1,200 cinemas across Kerala and the rest of the country. But the impact is even larger on the global stage. Overseas, the film has secured more than 1,500 screens across 66 countries. This brings the total worldwide screen count to roughly 2,700, making it a massive theatrical event for Malayalam cinema. The film features the original core cast including Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, and Asha Sharath. With the combined power of Antony Perumbavoor's production and the writing of Jeethu Joseph, the franchise continues to show why it is considered a gold standard in the suspense thriller genre. For those who thought they were going to say goodbye to Georgekutty today, it seems he still has a few more secrets up his sleeve for the future. As the day progresses and more people experience the sinister ending of this chapter, the buzz for Part 4 is likely to reach fever pitch. It is clear that the legacy of Drishyam is far from over, and the box office numbers are only going to reflect this growing madness in the days to come.

Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Plot Revealed

BY SACNILK

Kochi, February 20 - The much-awaited Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, is shaping up to be the most intense chapter in the iconic thriller franchise. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment reportedly takes the story forward, focusing on the emotional and psychological cost of Georgekutty’s carefully guarded secrets. A leaked plot description from overseas distributor Phars Film has set social media buzzing with excitement around the crime suspense thriller. The plot states, "Georgekutty is not just protecting his family from the world, he is protecting them from the truth, and from the burden of what binds them together. Now, as new forces begin to close in, more organised and determined than ever before, the cracks in his carefully built calm start to widen". (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It continues, "The threat is no longer just external; it presses against his conscience, his relationships, and the fragile normalcy he has tried so hard to create. And as the walls slowly tighten around him and his family, how much more is Georgekutty willing to sacrifice". (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Unlike the earlier films that revolved around clever investigations and external threats, Drishyam 3 looks to dive deeper into Georgekutty's inner world. This time, the biggest danger may not come from the police or the law, but from guilt, fear, and the long-term consequences of the past. The story reportedly explores how living a lie for years begins to erode even the strongest mind. Produced by Antony Perumbavoor under Aashirvad Cinemas, Drishyam 3 stars Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil, who all reprise their roles from the earlier films. It is scheduled to release on April 2, 2026, worldwide. Stay tuned...

'Drishyam 3' To Have Same Story In All Versions

BY SACNILK

Kochi, June 23 - After the official announcement, director Jeethu Joseph has dropped a major update regarding Drishyam 3. There have been speculations that the Hindi version of this crime suspense thriller will be different, unlike the first two movies, which were remakes of the original Malayalam films. ## During a recent conversation with the Times of India, director Jeethu Joseph, who directed the first two Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 and will return for the third instalment, said that the script of the upcoming film is nearing completion and contrary to the rumours, he confirmed the plot will be same in all versions. ## "There have been reports that the Hindi version will have a different story, but that's not true. The Hindi film will also be based on my story. Once I complete my script, it will be shared with the Hindi team, who will then adapt it to suit their setting and make suitable cultural changes", the filmmaker said. ## Both Hindi and Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 will start rolling in October this year. There were rumours that the Malayalam movie would be released before the Hindi, but Jeethu Joseph hinted that both versions may have a simultaneous release. ## "There was a request from their side for a simultaneous release. So, we have been discussing the prospect of releasing the films simultaneously. In this OTT age, they feel that releasing on different dates might reduce the film's impact in other languages", he added. ## It is confirmed that Drishyam 3 Hindi will be directed by Abhishek Pathak and will see Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast reprising their roles. The Malayalam version features superstar Mohanlal in the lead role alongside Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sharath. ## Stay tuned...

Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's suspense thriller film, Drishyam 2 premiered on Amazone Prime Video on February 19. Directed by Jeethu Joseph and produced by Antony Perumbavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas, Drishyam 2 is a sequel to the 2013 film, Drishyam which starred Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Asha Sarath, Siddique, and Kalabhavan Shajon in key roles. ## The sequel of Drishyam was supposed to release in theaters in January 2021, however, due to the covid-19 pandemic, the makers decided to skip its theatrical release to make it available directly on Amazon Prime Video for the worldwide audience. The OTT release of Drishyam 2 invited sheer criticism among the Kerala Film Industry as the Film Chamber expressed its disappointment over this movie to skip theaters. ## The story of Drishyam 2 takes place six years after the events of Drishyam that follows the struggle of Georgekutty and his family, who come under suspicion when Varun Prabhakar, the son of the Inspector-general of police (IG), gets killed by the family after an attempt to physically harass Georgekutty's daughter. ## Check out what viewers/public have to say about this film -## #Drishyam2 [4/5]: To elaborate more about Actor @Mohanlal 's performance, he has not acted in the movie.. He has jus lived the character of #GeorgeKutty The brilliance of the screenplay is that so many scenes, that appear so random in the 1st half all tally nicely in 2nd half— Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) February 20, 2021 ## #Drishyam2 in theatres would have been a mega blockbuster. Even a bigger hit than the first part IMO. Kinda bummed that you miss out on the great response from the audience.

With a majority of stares and restrained dialogue delivery, the veteran simply steals the show once again. The fantastic final 45 minute stretch is a treat for sure, good load of thrills!— Siddarth Srinivas (@sidhuwrites) February 19, 2021 ## #Drishyam2: Brilliant! Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph together deliver one of the best sequels ever made in Indian cinema, a film that answers all your questions in style. Doesn't have too many wow moments like the first, but is an intelligently written film that does surprise.
