Aadu 3 continued its impressive run at the Indian box office on Day 11 (second Sunday), registering an estimated India net of around ₹2 Cr. This brought the 11-day India net total to approximately ₹42.45 Cr, reflecting solid weekend momentum despite entering the second week. The film has benefited from strong word-of-mouth and franchise loyalty, particularly in Kerala, where it remains a dominant performer.
Early estimates for Day 12 (second Monday, 30 March 2026) point to a typical weekday drop, with India gross expected in the range of ₹1.20 Cr. While collections are projected to moderate compared to the weekend surge, the overall trend remains positive, supported by consistent occupancy in key centres and robust overseas performance. The movie has already crossed the ₹100 Cr worldwide gross milestone earlier in its run and is showing resilience amid competition.
Overall, Aadu 3 is proving to be a commercial success for the team, blending nostalgia with fresh fantasy elements. Its steady second-week hold suggests a healthy long run ahead, especially with strong diaspora support contributing significantly to the worldwide tally.

About Aadu 3 and Future Prediction
Aadu 3: One Last Ride – Part 1 is a Malayalam-language fantasy comedy directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas. The film brings back the beloved character Shaji Pappan, played by Jayasurya in dual roles, alongside an ensemble cast including Vinayakan, Sunny Wayne, Vijay Babu, Saiju Kurup, and others. Set across multiple timelines involving time travel, a magical stone, and high-stakes chaos, the story blends the signature madcap humour of the Aadu franchise with fresh fantasy elements that have resonated well with audiences.
The movie has received positive feedback for its performances, especially Jayasurya’s energetic portrayal, along with strong technical aspects like cinematography and music. Released on 19 March 2026 coinciding with Eid, it has emerged as one of the biggest Malayalam openers of the year, driven by massive franchise recall and excellent overseas traction.
Looking ahead, Aadu 3 is expected to maintain a decent hold through the weekdays thanks to positive word-of-mouth and family audiences. With the second weekend already showing promising trends and overseas markets contributing nearly 55 per cent of the total, the film is on track for a strong final run. Trade analysts predict it could comfortably cross ₹55 Cr India net and push worldwide collections well beyond ₹120 Cr if the current momentum continues.
