Drishyam 3 Twitter review: 7 tweets you must read before watching Mohanlal's popular Malayalam thriller movie

Mohanlal-starrer Drishyam 3 finally released in theatres on Thursday, May 21, bringing back Georgekutty to the big screen once again. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the much-awaited Malayalam thriller opened to packed theatres and massive excitement among fans. The film had already created huge buzz before release and reportedly collected around Rs 35 crore through advance bookings and pre-sales. Also, the Malayalam superstar is celebrating his birthday today.

The first shows began at 8 am, with audiences rushing for first-day-first-show screenings. Soon after, social media platforms were flooded with early reactions from viewers who shared their first impressions online. While the complete verdict is still awaited, fans are already praising several aspects of the movie.

The Drishyam franchise remains one of the most successful thriller series in Indian cinema. After the massive success of Drishyam in 2013 and Drishyam 2 in 2021, expectations from the third instalment were naturally sky-high. Early Twitter reactions suggest that the film has managed to keep audiences hooked once again with suspense, emotional drama and strong performances.

Netizens review Drishyam 3

One of the users took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote that the first half keeps audiences interested with its investigation angle and returning characters from the previous films. According to the tweet, Mohanlal once again shines as Georgekutty, while the biggest surprises appear to have been saved for the second half. The user also mentioned that the film does not reveal much about its final direction early on, making the suspense more effective.





Interval block becomes a talking point: Another social media user praised the film’s interval sequence, calling it unexpected and intense. The viewer appreciated how the tension-building scenes worked effectively on screen and also praised the cinematography, background score and colour grading. The tweet suggested that the technical quality feels stronger compared to the second film.

‘Better than Drishyam 2 so far’, one fan described the first half as both interesting and engaging. According to the viewer, the storytelling and overall making appear stronger than Drishyam 2 at least in the opening portions of the film. Though the tweet was short, it reflected the excitement many fans are currently expressing online.



Viewers say second half will decide the film’s success. A detailed reaction noted that the film takes a more emotional and melodramatic approach initially before reaching a major high point at the interval.



The user admitted that some twists may not feel completely convincing but added that the narration keeps viewers invested throughout. The tweet also suggested that the second half would be the key factor in deciding the film’s overall impact.



Another netizen reaction highlighted how the story gradually moves into a more personal and psychological zone. The viewer described the film as neatly engaging and said the narrative promises even bigger developments later on. The line “The past never stays silent” from the tweet quickly started circulating among fans online.

Mohanlal’s performance receives unanimous praise

Almost every early reaction has one thing in common, praise for Mohanlal’s performance. Fans believe the actor has once again delivered a powerful portrayal of Georgekutty, the clever family man who constantly stays one step ahead of danger. Many viewers also appreciated the return of familiar characters, saying it added emotional depth and nostalgia to the story.



The shooting of Drishyam 3 began in September 2025 with a traditional pooja ceremony attended by Mohanlal, Jeethu Joseph and producer Antony Perumbavoor. Since then, fans had been eagerly waiting to see how the story would continue.

The original Drishyam released in 2013 and became a landmark thriller in Malayalam cinema. The sequel arrived in 2021 and expanded Georgekutty’s story further. The franchise later inspired successful remakes in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, turning it into one of India’s most recognised thriller brands.

Now, with Drishyam 3 finally in theatres, audiences are eager to discover whether Georgekutty’s latest chapter lives up to the legacy of the first two films. Stay tuned!
