Drishyam 3

Release Date: May 21, 2026 | Director: Jeethu Joseph | Cast: Mohanlal, Asha Sharath, Siddique
The wait is finally over for one of Indian cinema's most beloved franchises. Drishyam 3, the next chapter in the blockbuster thriller series, has locked its release date for May 21, 2026 — and the teaser drops today, April 29. The film brings back Mohanlal as the iconic Georgekutty, a role that redefined the thriller genre in Indian cinema and gave audiences one of the most memorable anti-heroes of the decade.
Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the man who created the franchise, Drishyam 3 promises to continue the cat-and-mouse narrative that made its predecessors cultural landmarks. The first Drishyam (2013) was a phenomenon — remade in multiple Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, and spawning a Hindi version with Ajay Devgn that became one of the biggest hits of 2015. The sequel (2021) raised the stakes further on OTT, and now the third instalment has fans on the edge of their seats wondering what Georgekutty's next move will be.
If you've followed Georgekutty's journey from a humble cable TV operator to a master strategist who uses film knowledge to outsmart the system, this third chapter is non-negotiable. The teaser release today at 5 PM is expected to give the first real glimpse into the story direction. Early speculation suggests the film picks up where Drishyam 2 left off, with the family's hard-won peace facing a new, unexpected threat. The teaser poster already released has fans dissecting every visual clue.
