Love Mocktail 3 Box Office Collection Update: Darling Krishna's Film Nears ₹17 Cr Worldwide Ahead Of Day 18

Love Mocktail 3 Box Office Collection: The Kannada romantic drama Love Mocktail 3, starring Darling Krishna and Milana Nagaraj, continues its theatrical run with steady numbers as it enters Day 18 on Sunday, April 5. Released on March 19, 2026, the film marks the third and final chapter in the Love Mocktail franchise, directed by Darling Krishna himself.

According to trade estimates shared by box office tracker Jerin Georgekutty, the film has maintained a consistent performance over the past two weeks. After completing 16 days with a domestic total of around ₹15.18 crore (including pre-release figures), the film added approximately ₹63 lakh on Day 17. This takes its 17-day India net total to about ₹15.81 crore.

On the overseas front, Love Mocktail 3 has reportedly collected close to $101K (around ₹94 lakh), pushing its worldwide gross to approximately ₹16.75 crore so far. With Sunday expected to contribute another incremental boost, the film is likely to inch closer to the ₹17 crore mark by the end of Day 18, based on current trends.

Made on a modest budget of around ₹4 crore, the film has already recovered its costs and moved into the profit zone. Trade estimates suggest that the theatrical share stands at approximately ₹7.75 crore, indicating a strong return relative to its scale. The film's performance is also notable within the franchise, as it has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Love Mocktail 2 (₹16.30 crore) within just 17 days, making it the highest-grossing installment in the series so far.

Love Mocktail 3 Plot, Cast And Crew Details

The narrative of Love Mocktail 3 continues from the previous film, focusing on Adi, now a single father raising his adopted daughter Nidhi. The story explores their everyday life, built on routine and emotional bonding, before introducing a conflict when an elderly woman claims to be the child's biological grandmother. This sets the stage for a legal and emotional struggle, revisiting themes of love, responsibility, and belonging that have been central to the franchise.

Apart from Krishna and Milana Nagaraj, the film features performances by Samvrutha, Amrutha Iyengar, Dileep Raj, and Shwetha Prasad, among others. The music is composed by Nakul Abhyankar, while cinematography and editing are handled by Sri CrazyMindz.

As the film completes nearly three weeks in theatres, its steady run highlights sustained audience interest, particularly for a mid-budget Kannada production. The coming weekdays will be crucial in determining how far the film can extend its theatrical momentum.
