- On Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3 released in theaters, marking actor Mohanlal's return as Georgekutty under director Jeethu Joseph.
- The third installment follows Georgekutty and his family years after the events of Drishyam 2 , focusing on Georgekutty arranging the marriage of his elder daughter, Anju .
- While the film sold 644K tickets, audience reactions remain mixed, with some critics noting the 159-minute runtime feels slow-paced and predictable.
- Critics argue the script struggles to balance emotional drama with crime thriller elements, with some viewers describing the film as the 'first flop in the drishyam series.'
- Jeethu Joseph's latest work serves as the apparently concluding chapter of this thriller trilogy, though it remains unclear if the franchise will continue beyond this installment.
