This guide covers everything you need to know about the film and how to stream Drishyam 3 in 4K with InfinityTV.

What is Drishyam 3?

Drishyam 3 is a Malayalam-language crime thriller film written and directed by Jeethu Joseph, produced by Antony Perumbavoor for Aashirvad Cinemas. It is the direct sequel to Drishyam (2013) and Drishyam 2 (2021), continuing the story of Georgekutty — the cable TV operator whose extraordinary intelligence and nerve have defined two previous films — as the consequences of past events continue to catch up with him.

The film stars Mohanlal in one of his most celebrated roles, reprising the character that many fans and critics consider among his career-defining performances. Like the previous installments, Drishyam 3 is a tightly constructed thriller that rewards close attention and patient character investment.

The Drishyam franchise

Understanding Drishyam 3 requires knowing where the franchise stands:

Drishyam (2013) introduced Georgekutty, a self-educated cable TV operator in Kerala who uses his obsessive knowledge of films — and their plotting strategies — to protect his family from devastating consequences after a traumatic event. The original film became a landmark of Malayalam cinema and was remade in multiple Indian languages, including a hugely successful 2015 Hindi version with Ajay Devgn.

Drishyam 2 (2021) returned six years after the events of the first film. The family is living under the shadow of what happened. New investigators are looking at the case with fresh eyes. Georgekutty must navigate a threat more sophisticated than the one he faced in the original, and the sequel delivered on its considerable promise by deepening the character rather than simply repeating the thriller mechanics.

Drishyam 3 (2026) continues that trajectory. With a ₹241.41 crore gross in its first 25 days — surpassing the previous two films combined at their highest estimates — it is the definitive commercial culmination of the franchise so far.

The director: Jeethu Joseph

Jeethu Joseph is one of Malayalam cinema's most reliable thriller directors. Beyond the Drishyam franchise, he has directed Memories (2013), Detective (2007), and My Dear Bootham (2021). His particular strength is the construction of airtight plots that depend on character intelligence rather than coincidence or luck — the Drishyam films are built on a protagonist who is simply smarter than everyone around him, and Joseph's screenplay construction makes that credible rather than contrived.

The decision to make a third Drishyam film was not automatic. Drishyam 2 had concluded with a relative resolution. That Joseph found a way to construct a third act worthy of the franchise — and that audiences responded so massively — is a meaningful testament to both the filmmaking and the audience's attachment to Georgekutty.

The cast of Drishyam 3

Mohanlal as Georgekutty is the film's center, as it has always been. Mohanlal is one of Indian cinema's greatest actors — a recipient of the National Film Award for Best Actor and the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honor. His performance across the Drishyam series demonstrates the range between the ordinary and the extraordinary that defines his work at its best.

The supporting cast includes:

• Meena as Rani, Georgekutty's wife — reprising the role she has played across both previous films
• Ansiba Hassan as Anju, the elder daughter
• Esther Anil as Anu, the younger daughter
• Kalabhavan Shajon in a comedic and dramatic support role
• Siddique in a key antagonist role
• Murali Gopy as the investigating officer bringing new pressure
• Asha Sarath reprising her role from the previous films

The family unit at the center of the franchise is intact, and the returning cast brings the emotional continuity that makes the third film's stakes feel genuinely personal.

Production details

Principal photography began on September 22, 2025 and concluded on December 2, 2025 — a compact and efficient 10-week shoot for a major franchise production. The film was produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, the production house behind the previous Drishyam films.

Box office performance

Drishyam 3 released worldwide on May 21, 2026 and grossed ₹241.41 crore in its first 25 days of release. This makes it:

• The highest-grossing film in the Drishyam franchise
• One of the highest-grossing Malayalam-language films ever made
• A clear signal that audiences who have followed Georgekutty across two decades of cinema remain deeply invested in the character

The Hindi remake and series future

A Hindi-language remake of Drishyam 3, directed by Abhishek Pathak and starring Ajay Devgn (who starred in the Hindi remakes of the previous two films), is separately scheduled for release on October 2, 2026. The Malayalam original and the Hindi remake are independent productions — the original is already available to stream while the Hindi remake is still awaiting its theatrical premiere.
