Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Advance Booking Finishes At 35 Crore Worldwide For First Day; 50 Crore Opening Is On The Cards

Kochi, May 21 - The anticipation surrounding Drishyam 3 has reached extraordinary levels as the superstar Mohanlal-starrer closed its final advance booking with a massive 35 crore gross worldwide for opening day alone. The phenomenal pre-sales performance has now placed the film firmly on course for a potential 50 crore-plus worldwide opening day gross. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the third instalment of the iconic thriller franchise is witnessing historic demand across both domestic and overseas markets. The film has generated exceptional momentum in Kerala while also recording sensational advances internationally, particularly in the Gulf region, North America, the UK, and Australia. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Worldwide First-Day Advance Booking of Drishyam 3 Kerala – 8.50 crore Rest of India – 4.50 crore Overseas – $2.3 million (22.15 crore) Total Day 1 Worldwide Pre-sales: 35.15 crore gross The overseas market alone has contributed over 22 crore, highlighting the massive global appeal of the franchise and Mohanlal's strong fanbase outside India. Kerala remains the biggest domestic contributor as expected, with 8.50 crore in pre-sales, which is among the strongest booking performances ever for a film in the state. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Opening Weekend Advance Booking Finished At 48 Crore Apart from its record-setting first-day sales, the film has also posted huge numbers for its opening weekend. In Kerala, the weekend pre-sales for the stand finished at 13.50 crore, while the rest of India sales closed at 5 crore. Overseas bookings have been sensational at $3+ million (29.50 crore) with the total worldwide advance sales for the weekend clocking 48 crores, which is massive. The extraordinary weekend figures indicate that audience interest is extending far beyond just the opening day. Industry observers believe the thriller is set for packed occupancy throughout the weekend, especially if word-of-mouth remains positive after the first shows. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 50 Crore Worldwide Opening Looks Likely With advance sales already crossing 35 crore globally for day one, the film is now expected to challenge the 50 crore worldwide opening milestone through spot bookings and walk-in ticket sales. It was already locked to score the second biggest start for a Malayalam film after the initial response in pre-sales, and was looking to take the opening in the range of 40 crores, but now, it is eyeing much bigger numbers. The film carries enormous expectations due to the popularity of the previous two instalments, both of which became landmark successes (the second film was a direct OTT release) and earned cult status among audiences. The return of Georgekutty has particularly fueled fan excitement, with social media already flooded with discussions, fan celebrations, and early reactions from premiere screenings.

Prashanth Neel Provides Details of Jr. NTR's Character In Dragon; Calls It One Of The Most Patriotic Films Ever

Hyderabad, May 20 - It has already been some years since director Prashanth Neel announced his maiden film with superstar Jr. NTR. The film has been in the making since last year and is easily one of the most anticipated Indian films at the moment. The recently released teaser of the film has taken the buzz to another level while leaving fans wanting more. While the film still has over a year for its release, the maverick director has made some explosive revelations about Jr. NTR's character in the film and the movie's unexpected genre direction. Ever since the title glimpse was unveiled, many assumed Dragon would be a high-scale period action drama in the style of Neel's previous mass entertainers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the director has now clarified that the teaser only represents the "setting" of the film and not its actual thematic core. Speaking about Jr. NTR's role, Prashanth Neel made a shocking statement. "It's a dark character, and the darkest character I have ever written". "It took me three years to write this. I have taken it very seriously. We have cast the most expensive villain in the history of Indian cinema (referring to Luger aka Dragon aka Jr. NTR). That's how we're looking at it. He (NTR) knows the character he is playing, and we did not want to hide the fact", he said. The statement has immediately sparked massive online chatter, especially because Jr. NTR is reportedly not playing a conventional heroic role. Neel's films always have an anti-hero at their core, but Jr. NTR seems to be playing a pure villain role, a completely new territory for the RRR star.

While audiences expected a brutal period action spectacle, the director hinted at something entirely different. "The Teaser is just a setting... We probably will end up making one of the most patriotic movies ever seen!" Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts and T-Series, Dragon is being made on a massive scale with intense world-building. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Biju Menon, Rukmini Vasanth, Khushbu Sundar, Ashutosh Rana, and Sidhant Gupta in key roles alongside Guru Somasundaram, Rajeev Kanakala, Anshuman Pushkar, Prabhas Srinu, Shatru, Shiva, Bhimal Jeet Oberoi, Ntuthuzelo Prince Grootboom, Aleksandr Mizev, and Benedict Paul Garrett.

Prashanth Neel Seemingly Confirms KGF: Chapter 3 and Salaar 2 Are No Longer In The Making

Hyderabad, May 20 - Director Prashanth Neel has sparked fresh speculation around the future of the blockbuster KGF and Salaar franchise after his latest comments during promotions for his next period action drama Dragon starring superstar Jr. NTR. In a recent interview with Baradwaj Rangan, Prashanth Neel stated that Dragon would be his final film in the hyper-stylised post-apocalyptic noir mass space - a genre template that heavily defines both the KGF films and Salaar. The statement has now led many fans to believe that Yash-fronted K.G.F: Chapter 3, as well as Prabhas' Salaar 2, may no longer be part of the filmmaker's plans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The development comes as a major surprise, considering Neel and Yash had previously teased the continuation of the KGF universe multiple times after the historic success of K.G.F: Chapter 2. Earlier reports had even suggested that Chapter 3 would begin production after both Neel and Yash completed their existing commitments. Neel is currently occupied with Dragon, which has consumed a lot of his time, while Yash is focused on Toxic and Ramayana. With both the actor and director committed to multiple large-scale projects for the next few years, the possibility of KGF Chapter 3 happening anytime was already looking unlikely, and now, after Neel's comments, both the films have seemingly been scrapped.

Drishyam 3 Box Office Prediction: Mohanlal-Starrer Set For Second Biggest Opening For A Malayalam Film

Mumbai, May 19 - The excitement surrounding Drishyam 3 continues to rise as the Mohanlal-led thriller gears up for its theatrical release on May 21. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film marks the return of Georgekutty, one of the most celebrated characters in Indian cinema, and the anticipation is clearly getting reflected in the advance booking trends across India and overseas markets. According to the latest trade report (11 PM on May 20), the film's opening day pre-sales are now approaching the 25 crore gross mark worldwide, with current sales around 24 crores. Of this, nearly 10.50 Crore gross has reportedly come from India alone, underscoring strong demand in Kerala as well as other key domestic circuits. With less than a day left before release, industry trackers expect the bookings to accelerate further over the final stretch. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The overseas response has been particularly remarkable for the Mohanlal starrer. Gulf countries, North America, the UK, and Australia are witnessing excellent booking trends, continuing the growing global dominance of Malayalam cinema in recent years. Kerala, meanwhile, is expected to contribute heavily through spot bookings other than superb pre-sales so far, with around 6.75 crores gross. The current momentum could push the final opening day advance sales to around 27-30 crore gross worldwide before the first show even begins. If the film maintains this pace, Drishyam 3 could comfortably target an opening day collection in excess of 40+ crore gross globally, and could go to 50 crores if word of mouth is positive. Such a start would comfortably place the film among the biggest openers in Malayalam cinema history. At present, the record for the highest opening also belongs to Mohanlal, whose Empuraan opened at around 70 crore gross worldwide. Drishyam 3 is certain to score the second biggest opening, and it needs to be seen how far it can climb. One of the biggest factors working in the film's favour is the immense popularity of the Drishyam franchise itself. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The franchise value is also expected to boost spot bookings significantly on release day, plus, it has more pan-India weight than other Malayalam titles, so it is also going to play a major role in its big opening. Trade experts suggest that if audience reception turns positive from the morning shows, the worldwide opening day total could even push towards the 40 crore gross mark or more. The original film became a landmark success and was remade in several languages across India, while Drishyam 2 expanded the franchise's reach even further with its direct OTT release during the pandemic. The third instalment is being promoted as the continuation of Georgekutty's intense journey, creating enormous curiosity among audiences.
