Drishyam 3 OTT Release Date Announced: Check When & Where To Watch Mohanlal's Suspension Thriller

Adding to the excitement, Amazon Prime Video has now formally confirmed that it holds the exclusive digital rights to the film, ensuring that the suspense will continue beyond theatres and onto streaming screens worldwide.

Drishyam 3 OTT Release Confirmed on Amazon Prime Video

Drishyam 3 is scheduled to release in cinemas on May 21, 2026, and will arrive simultaneously in Malayalam, along with dubbed Telugu, Tamil and Kannada versions. The multi-language rollout is expected to significantly broaden the film's reach across South India and among international audiences familiar with the franchise.

Amazon Prime Video has clarified that it is the sole and exclusive holder of the film's digital rights through its existing agreement with Aashirvad Cinemas. The arrangement covers all major online distribution formats, including subscription video-on-demand (SVOD), transactional video-on-demand (TVOD), advertising-supported video-on-demand (AVOD), free video-on-demand (FVOD), and electronic sell-through (EST).

When Will Drishyam 3 Stream Online?

According to media reports from ETimes, the film is expected to debut on Amazon Prime Video approximately 30 to 35 days after its theatrical release. If that release window is maintained, viewers could expect the film to become available for streaming by late June or during the first half of July 2026.

The first two instalments of the Drishyam franchise are already available on the platform, and industry reports suggest that the longstanding partnership between Amazon Prime Video and Aashirvad Cinemas has simply been extended to include the third chapter.

To dispel speculation surrounding competing claims over post-theatrical rights, Amazon Prime Video released a formal legal notice stating that it is the "sole and exclusive" owner of all digital rights for the Malayalam version of Drishyam 3 under valid and subsisting agreements with the producer.

The notice confirms that Amazon's rights encompass virtually every significant digital exploitation category, reinforcing that the film will stream exclusively on the platform following its theatrical run.

Georgekutty Returns in Drishyam 3

Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Drishyam 3 continues the story of Georgekutty, one of Indian cinema's most celebrated and enigmatic characters. The first two films earned widespread acclaim for their tightly constructed narratives and unexpected twists, establishing the franchise as a benchmark in suspense storytelling.

The film was initially expected to release on April 2, but the date was later revised. The makers ultimately chose May 21, 2026, which coincides with Mohanlal's birthday, giving the launch added significance for fans.

Drishyam 3 Tickets Advance Booking

Advance bookings indicate extraordinary audience interest. Data from Sacnilk show that Drishyam 3 has crossed 334,000 ticket interests on BookMyShow, making it the second-highest Malayalam pre-seller on the platform, behind only L2: Empuraan.

The film is currently adding close to 30,000 ticket interests per day, a remarkable pace for a suspense thriller, a genre that typically relies more on word-of-mouth than pre-release frenzy.

In Kerala alone, opening-day advance bookings have reportedly exceeded Rs 5 crore, with more than two lakh tickets already sold. Several early morning shows in cities such as Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode are sold out, while many regular screenings are rapidly filling.

Drishyam 3: One of Malayalam Cinema's Biggest Releases of 2026

With Mohanlal returning as Georgekutty, Jeethu Joseph once again at the helm, exclusive streaming rights secured by Amazon Prime Video, and advance bookings setting impressive records, Drishyam 3 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated and commercially significant Malayalam films of 2026.
