Launched in 2015 as a Hindi remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam thriller, the franchise quickly found an audience, with the first film earning around ₹110 crore worldwide. Its 2022 sequel proved even more successful, collecting nearly ₹342 crore globally and cementing Drishyam as a major box-office franchise. Devgn's Drishyam 3 takes a different path than its source material, Jeetu Joseph’s Malayalam film Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal, which released earlier this year.
