The producers of the film shared on social media that globally, over 10 lakh tickets have already been sold for the Mohanlal-starrer.

Director Jeethu Joseph took to his social media and reposted an image requesting his fans not to share any spoilers of the film. The post by Aashirvad Cinemas said, “Say no to spoilers. Don’t ruin the moment. Let others enjoy the story too.” He also posted another picture with Mohanlal wishing him on his birthday. The actor is turning 66 on Thursday, May 21.

Drishyam 3 will chronicle the lives of Georgekutty and his family a few years after the events of Drishyam 2 (2021), when they had a close call as the secret they had all been guarding almost got exposed. The franchise follows a middle-class family of four who are embroiled in a murder case, but have managed to get away with it, so far.

Drishyam 3 Movie Review Live Updates: 'You cannot take your eyes off Mohanlal'

User @sridevisreedhar note on X read, "#Drishyam3 4/5 It’s not easy to deliver a third part of a successful franchise but director #JeethuJoseph has managed to make it gripping & engaging. The first half was a bit flat but the twists, edge-of-the-seat moments in the second half & the final conclusion was super. You cannot take ur eyes off @Mohanlal & he literally transforms into George Kutty character with ease and his scenes with #Meena is incredibly natural & their chemistry is effortless. #Esther, #MuraliGopi #Ansiba #Siddique #SanthiMayadevi- have all given good performances.  On the whole, a solid 3rd addition to a successful thriller franchise but a tighter runtime could have made the experience even more impactful."

Drishyam 3 Movie Review Live Updates: 'Mohanlal's and Murali Gopi's performances are two good takeaways in the film'

User @fahir_me shared on X, "#Drishyam3 didnt work for me. Drishyam 2 is a sequel that I loved so much that I have watched its last 20 minutes around 20+ times. Here it does not only lack the effective twists and turns of Drishyam 2, Drishyam 3's last 20 minutes is disappointing in writing and making both together from Jeethu Joseph. It was also sad to see character arc of an important character entirely destroyed that it spoils the feel you have built for the franchise. Mohanlal's and Murali Gopi's performances are two good takeaways in the film. While even when writing falters, Mohanlal does all his best to ensure Georgekutty remains one of Malayalam's most beloved characters. Murali Gopi's work helps us keep engaged to the proceedings as well."

User @vilakudy tweeted, "This is not the same man. This George Kutty is hollowed out by fear, guilt and even punishment. The first half is a pure acting masterclass by Mohanlal, showing us an ageing father, a vulnerable version of a character we thought we knew. Yet, there are last-minute dramatic twists in #Drishyam3. What moved me was the character, not the plot per se #Drishyam4 possible? Yes, maybe another version of George Kutty?"

Drishyam 3 Movie Review Live Updates: 'Drishyam 3 is a decent satisfying entertainer'

Trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai shared a long note on X which read, "#Drishyam3 Review : Suspense laden family entertainer. My Rating - 3.25/5. Jeethu Joseph is one of the most successful franchise film makers in India. It is not easy to keep audiences attention after blockbuster success of Drishyam 1&2. And with Drishyam3 he has succeeded to a large extent to keep suspense, twists and emotions working, though there are loopholes in the writing and is stretched. Mohanlal as George Kutty the family man “who will go to any extent to save his family” shines once again and is the USP of the film. First half is all smooth setup and character reunion. Then the second half explodes — drama hits peak, twists keep coming, leading to climax! It leaves you smiling with a massive sequel tease. Drishyam 3 is a decent satisfying entertainer that keeps the franchise fire alive!"

Drishyam 3 Movie Review Live Updates: 'A treat to watch Mohanlal transform'

X user @pudiharicharan shared his take on Drishyam 3 and posted, "#Drishyam3 - 3.5 stars. Liked it. The drama works. Unhurried narration to build the mood works. Development of character (Georgekutty) graph works. It’s a drama-driven thriller that simmers for most of its run time in anticipation of that big moment. This long wait without major twists or turns may not work for all and it’s understandable, given how both the previous parts nailed the twists beyond one’s imagination. Yeah, writing could’ve been tighter but Jeethu cooks it like a broth on low flame as he lets drama precede suspense. Mohanlal is brilliant as always and it’s a treat to watch him transform."

Drishyam 3 Movie Review Live Updates: Mohanla's Georgekutti 'quite different from Drishyam 1 and 2'

A Reddit user listed the pros and cons of Mohanlal starrer Drishyam 3 and posted, "No spoliers. Pros: A10 as georgekutti proved once again he's a classic criminal, willing to go to any extend, literally. His character arc in the movie is quite different from 1&2. The story was engaging, with many unexpected twists, which didn't feel forced. 

Cons: Direction felt off in some places, JJ's vision was excellent but could've conveyed it in a much more deserving way (but can't blame him as he wanted all the 3 parts to be perceived in a family drama mood, rather than a thriller). Meena and kids with some expected veruppikal, and some unnecessary fillers which could've been avoided.

Overall, the movie justifies the family drama tag conveyed by JJ. The movie needs to be watched in a different mood from that of 1st and 2nd part. Personally loved it as I expected some of the mentioned cons. Expect a slow paced emotional family thriller."

X page Thyview shared a detailed review of Mohanlal's film Drishyam 3 and wrote, "#Drishyam3 Lightning didn't strike thrice. Drishyam 3 follows the structure of drishyam 2..to the dot. Except it's a lot less thrilling. The entire first half is spent setting up the story. Definitely could've been handled better. 2nd half is where the story finally moves and here Jeetu joseph enters his strong zone. He constructs drama. He controls information. This is the all too familiar drishyam dna that we fell in love with. The film does meta references and sometimes even offers tongue in cheek comments. It ends with a climax heavy on intellectual and emotional payoff, but the question is should we settle for it?? We neither feel the level of emotion that we did in the climax of first part...nor do we feel the same level of surprise and awe that we do in the end of the second part. Here it feels like a routine that we all know how it starts and where it ends. And just when I thought it ends... The director keeps a question mark that only left me with one feeling -Let it go! #Drishyam3Review."

The director succeeds in building the mood of the film and creating tension in places, but this time the overall writing is unimpressive. Climax sequence is a bit better but the rest feels too basic and way too redundant.
