Aadu 3 Kerala Box Office Collection: The Malayalam film Aadu 3: One Last Ride - Part 1 has reached a notable milestone at the Kerala box office, crossing the ₹50 crore gross mark within 17 days of its theatrical run. As the film enters Day 18 (Sunday, April 5), it continues its steady performance across the state, maintaining its presence in theatres more than two weeks after release.

According to industry tracker AB George, Aadu 3 has now joined the list of films that have surpassed ₹50 crore in Kerala. This places it alongside several high-grossing titles over the years, marking a significant addition to the franchise's commercial journey. The film, which released worldwide on March 19, 2026, is the third instalment in the Aadu series and follows Aadu 2 (2017).

Aadu 3: Cast, Plot and Crew Details

Headlined by Jayasurya, the film brings back familiar characters, including those played by Saiju Kurup, Vinayakan, Sunny Wayne, Dharmajan Bolgatty, and Bhagath Manuel. The ensemble cast also features Vijay Babu, Indrans, Bijukuttan, Sudhi Koppa, and Harikrishnan, among others.

Written and directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, the film expands the narrative scope of the franchise. Unlike its predecessors, Aadu 3 incorporates elements of fantasy into its comedy-driven storytelling. The plot unfolds across three timelines, set in the past, present, and a speculative future, linked by a mythical gem believed to have the power to influence time.

At the centre of the story is Shaji Pappan and his group, who find themselves chasing a rumoured treasure. Their journey gradually intersects with a larger conflict involving multiple forces connected to the mysterious artefact. As different timelines converge, the narrative introduces parallel developments that shape the film's progression.

The film is jointly produced by Friday Film House and Kavya Film Company, with technical contributions including cinematography by Akhil George, music by Shaan Rahman, and editing by Lijo Paul.

With the ₹50 crore milestone achieved in Kerala, the film's performance in the coming days will determine how it sustains beyond the initial weeks. As it continues its theatrical run on Day 18, attention remains on whether it can maintain its hold at the box office amid new releases and weekday trends.
