Mohanlal’s much-awaited Drishyam 3, directed by Jeethu Joseph, is preparing for a worldwide theatrical release on May 21st. With only a few weeks left, the makers have finally unveiled the teaser, creating fresh discussions among fans and industry watchers.
Drishyam remains one of the most successful thriller franchises in Indian cinema. However, since the third part was announced, a section of the audience has questioned the need to extend a single murder case across multiple films.
At the same time, many viewers continue to trust Jeethu Joseph’s storytelling. They believe the director would not return without a strong idea. This confidence has kept expectations alive despite ongoing criticism around the film’s concept.
After the teaser release, reactions have been mixed to negative. Several viewers feel it does not offer anything new and appears to reuse visuals from earlier parts. Some even commented that the teaser looks slow and resembles television-style cuts.
The film has already faced challenges, including a postponement from April to May 21st. Additionally, the recent theatrical re-release of Drishyam 2 did not perform well, which has further impacted the overall buzz around the third instalment.
Trade experts now believe that Drishyam 3 will depend heavily on word of mouth after release. With weak pre-release response and criticism around the teaser, the film’s success may rely on audience reception in theatres.
Despite the concerns, curiosity remains high among fans. It remains to be seen whether Drishyam 3 can meet expectations and match the success of its previous parts when it releases on May 21st.
