Drishyam 3 Kerala bookings 6 crore

Mohanlal’s *Drishyam 3* is drawing heavy ticket demand in Kerala a day after release, with trade trackers and media reports pointing to another strong round of advance sales for Friday shows. Oneindia reported before release that Kerala advance bookings had already reached 6.12 crore for tracked shows, while Cinema Express said the film grossed 43.37 crore worldwide on its opening day, citing Sacnilk data. The film opened on May 21 in Malayalam, along with dubbed versions in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada, and the release coincided with Mohanlal’s birthday. Cinema Express reported that Kerala contributed 11.15 crore on release day, the largest share of the film’s India gross. ### How big are the Kerala booking numbers? (oneindia.com) Oneindia reported on May 20 that *Drishyam 3* had earned 6.12 crore from 2,003 tracked shows in Kerala with one full day of bookings still left before release. The report said the figure placed the film among the state’s biggest recent advance-sale performers. (cinemaexpress.com) District-level numbers in that report showed Ernakulam at 1.46 crore gross, Trivandrum at 94.45 lakh, Thrissur at 71.23 lakh, Kozhikode at 49.97 lakh and Kannur at 35.40 lakh.

TrackTollywood reported on May 22 that *Drishyam 3 (Malayalam)* had registered 9.12 crore in India-tracked advance booking gross for Friday, May 22 shows, with 517,627 tickets booked across 6,091 shows in 1,550 theatres and 482 cities. The same tracker listed 8.07 crore in India-tracked advance bookings for Saturday, May 23 shows at the time of publication. (oneindia.com) Those India-wide figures are not the same as Kerala-only numbers, but they show continued demand after opening day. BookMyShow’s movie listing confirms the film is playing in multiple languages and locations, though the platform page available in search results does not itself display the social-media figures circulating Friday. ### What happened on opening day? Cinema Express, citing Sacnilk, reported that *Drishyam 3* grossed 43.37 crore worldwide on day one, including pre-sales. (tracktollywood.com) The same report said the film collected 18.37 crore gross in India and 25 crore overseas, with a net India collection of 15.85 crore. Kerala led the domestic tally with 11.15 crore, followed by Karnataka at 2.65 crore, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at 2 crore, Tamil Nadu at 1.25 crore and the rest of India at 1.32 crore, according to Cinema Express. (in.bookmyshow.com) ### What is verified about the Telugu-states record claim? Cinema Express reported that Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributed 2 crore on opening day for the film. (cinemaexpress.com) The social-media claim that *Drishyam 3* set a record as the highest-grossing Malayalam dubbed opening in the Telugu states was widely circulated on May 22, but the available open web results reviewed here did not provide a primary distributor statement or a trade-chart document confirming that ranking independently. TrackTollywood had reported before release that the Telugu version initially carried limited buzz because promotion was centered on the Malayalam market. That makes the Andhra Pradesh-Telangana opening figure notable, though not by itself proof of a record without a distributor or audited comparison list. ### What comes next in the box-office run? Saturday, May 23 is the next booking checkpoint for *Drishyam 3*, with TrackTollywood already listing 8.07 crore in India-tracked advance sales for that day’s shows. (cinemaexpress.com) Further updates are likely to come from BookMyShow trackers, Sacnilk and regional trade outlets as the first weekend develops. (tracktollywood.com 1) (tracktollywood.com 2)
