Drishyam 3 Wins Overseas Audience.. But Slows Down in Telugu States

Malayalam thriller Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, is receiving strong appreciation from audiences and critics alike. Director Jeethu Joseph’s gripping narration and Mohanlal’s performance are being widely praised. The film is also performing well in overseas markets, emerging as another success for the Malayalam industry. However, the response in Telugu states has been comparatively slow, creating discussion among trade circles.

According to analysts, the lack of strong promotions and the mixed talk during the initial days affected the film’s performance in Telugu regions. Many believe Telugu audiences are already emotionally connected to Venkatesh’s Drishyam franchise, which reduced interest in watching the Malayalam original in theatres. Social media discussions suggest that a Telugu remake with Venkatesh could have generated a much bigger response.
