Aadu 3 Advance Booking Collections: Jayasurya Starrer Nears ₹3 Crore Worldwide Ahead Of Release

The much-anticipated Malayalam fantasy comedy Aadu 3: One Last Ride – Part 1, directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, is already creating massive buzz ahead of its theatrical release on March 19, 2026. Starring Jayasurya in the iconic role of Shaji Pappan, the film is witnessing impressive traction in advance bookings, signaling a strong opening at the box office.

Advance Booking Crosses ₹2.67 Crore Worldwide

According to the latest trade reports, Aadu 3 has already crossed ₹2.67 crore in advance booking collections worldwide. The film has seen a sharp rise in ticket sales over the past few days, reflecting strong audience anticipation.

Trade analysts suggest that the film is now inching closer to the ₹3 crore mark in pre-sales, which is a significant achievement for a Malayalam film, especially without a widespread release across all Indian markets.

Strong Performance In Kerala Market

The film’s home ground, Kerala, has contributed heavily to its pre-release success. Reports indicate that Aadu 3 has already crossed ₹1.71 crore from Kerala alone in advance bookings.

If the current trend continues, the film is expected to touch nearly ₹4 crore in advance bookings just within Kerala before its release, making it one of the strongest pre-sales performers in the region.

Set For A Grand Opening At The Box Office

With such strong advance booking numbers, Aadu 3 is now poised for a solid opening day collection. Industry experts believe that the film could emerge as one of the biggest Malayalam openers of 2026.

The growing buzz among fans, combined with the franchise’s popularity, is expected to translate into packed theaters on Day 1.

Aadu 3: Plot And Franchise Legacy

Aadu 3: One Last Ride – Part 1 serves as the penultimate chapter in the popular Aadu franchise. The film marks the return of the quirky and much-loved character Shaji Pappan and his gang.

The movie is expected to carry forward the franchise’s signature blend of humor, chaos, and fantasy elements. Interestingly, the third installment will feature several cast members in double roles, which is considered a rare and ambitious move in Malayalam cinema.

Star Cast And Technical Crew

Apart from Jayasurya, the film boasts a strong ensemble cast including Vinayakan, Vijay Babu, Saiju Kurup, Sunny Wayne, Dharmajan Bolgatty, Indrans, Aju Varghese, Baiju, Bhagath Manuel, and Harikrishnan in key roles.

The film’s music is composed by Shaan Rahman, with additional score by Dawn Vincent. Cinematography is handled by Akhil George, while editing is done by Lijo Paul.
