The film has also received extremely positive reviews overall, which will invariably lead to higher show counts on the weekends. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 is highly likely to cross 300 crore figure by Sunday itself. Also considering there are no major releases next week, Drishyam is easily looking at a domestic business of Rs 600 crores, if not more.
