The Pappan wave is still far from slowing down as 'Aadu 3' gives a powerhouse performance in its second day of release at the box office. After a huge opening, the Jayasurya-starring flick has finally managed to breach the ₹6 crore mark in India in its second run, still going strong in its home territory of Kerala. Despite the experimental fantasy-time travel that director Midhun Manuel Thomas has incorporated into the flick, the brand of slapstick comedy that it offers, along with the iconic chemistry of its cast, is still resonating well with family viewers. As more people get to know of the riotous second half of the flick, it is being predicted that it might give a huge jump in the coming weekends.
According to a Sacnilk report, ‘Aadu 3’ collected approximately ₹0.80 crore in India on its second-day run (Friday, March 20, 2025). This collection brings the film’s total domestic net earnings to an estimated ₹6.80 crore. Here’s a breakdown of the box office collection:
Day 1 (1st Thursday)= ₹6.00 crore
Day 2 (1st Friday)= ₹0.80 crore (approx)
Total box office collection (2 days)= ₹6.80 crore
According to IMDb, the movie's gist reads, “The story unfolds across two parallel timelines, past and present, where Shaji Pappan and his gang appear in different roles. As secrets surface and powerful enemies emerge in both eras, the gang is drawn into high-stakes confrontations.”
The cast of ‘Aadu 3’, which was released in theatres on 19 March 2026, features the returning ensemble from the previous films.
