Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Drishyam 3 will finally release on May 21, following a delay from its original April 2 release. The film’s advance booking has already opened in key overseas markets, and early sales are expected to show strong numbers, reflecting the high demand for the film. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this instalment unfolds, as the Drishyam series has a massive global following.
With both Peddi and Drishyam 3 making waves in their respective markets, the attention is now on their overseas sales and the box office performance that will follow. These films are expected to not only perform well in India but also bring in significant returns in international markets, making their global box office prospects a key area of focus for industry watchers.
