The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on May 21 and is already generating massive excitement among cinema lovers across the country.
The Drishyam franchise has enjoyed extraordinary popularity ever since the first film was released in 2013. The original movie became a landmark success in Malayalam cinema and emerged as the highest-grossing Malayalam film at the time. Audiences praised its gripping screenplay, emotional storytelling, and unexpected twists.
Following the success of the first film, Drishyam 2 was released in 2021 and continued the story of Georgekutty and his family. The sequel also received critical acclaim and strong audience support for maintaining the suspense and emotional depth of the original film.
Over the years, Drishyam has expanded far beyond Malayalam cinema. The story has been remade in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Sinhala, and Chinese, making it one of India’s most successful film franchises internationally.
Before the trailer launch, director Jeethu Joseph shared insights about the storyline of the third installment. According to him, the movie explores Georgekutty’s life nearly four-and-a-half years after the events of the previous film.
