The film enjoyed a theatrical run exceeding 150 days, becoming the longest-running film in the United Arab Emirates with a record of 125 days. Initially, it held the title of the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever until it was surpassed by 'Pulimurugan' in 2016. For a decade, it remained among the top 10 highest-grossing Malayalam films until the release of 'Neru' by Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph.

Moreover, 'Drishyam' has been adapted into several regional languages in India, including 'Drishya' (2014) in Kannada, 'Drushyam' (2014) in Telugu, 'Papanasam' (2015) in Tamil, and 'Drishyam' (2015) in Hindi.
On an international scale, it was remade in Sinhala as 'Dharmayuddhaya' and in Chinese as 'Sheep Without a Shepherd'. Other remakes have been planned in Indonesian and Korean, making it the first Indian film to be adapted in both languages.
