Over the first three days of ticket sales, the film has already generated Rs 17.35 crore (Rs 11.12 crore excluding blocked seats). Analysts predict that the film is likely to achieve an opening day gross of around Rs 40 crore in India.

On Day 2, Drishyam 3 recorded an advance gross of Rs 4.52 crore from 1.20 lakh ticket sales over 6,848 shows, while on Day 3, the earnings dropped slightly to Rs 3.86 crore with 1.06 lakh tickets sold across 6,720 screenings. So far, the film has earned Rs 2.93 crore in Maharashtra on Day 1, and Delhi has contributed Rs 2.19 crore to the total revenue.

For context, Drishyam 2 had a net collection of Rs 15.38 crore in India on its release day, November 18, 2022, while its overall domestic gross was Rs 18.15 crore. In its opening weekend, the film amassed a total of Rs 64.14 crore.

Notably, the Hindi version of Drishyam 3 is anticipated to have a stronger debut than its Malayalam original, which was directed by Jeethu Joseph and starred Mohanlal.
