Drishyam 3 box office opening has started on a strong note, with packed theatres and early trade estimates indicating a potentially big first day for Ajay Devgn's latest thriller. Drishyam: The Conclusion, directed by Abhishek Pathak, released in cinemas on October 2 and brings back Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar for the final chapter of the Hindi thriller franchise.
According to early trade estimates cited in the source report, the film was initially expected to collect around Rs 50 crore nett in India on its opening day. Strong advance bookings, the national holiday and audience interest in the franchise have pushed expectations higher, with estimates suggesting a possible first-day collection of Rs 55-60 crore or more.
Drishyam 3 targets a new opening record
If the early estimates hold, Drishyam: The Conclusion could record one of Ajay Devgn's biggest opening days. Singham Again currently recorded an opening-day collection of Rs 43.70 crore nett in India in 2024, according to the figures cited in the report.
The latest film could therefore move beyond that benchmark if the estimated first-day numbers translate into final collections. Trade expectations are also pointing towards a strong overall theatrical run, although the film's eventual performance will depend on collections over the coming days.
The franchise has built a dedicated audience around Vijay Salgaonkar, whose ability to stay several steps ahead of the police has been central to the story. This final chapter is positioned as the conclusion to his long-running battle with the authorities.
Final chapter brings back the familiar cast
Drishyam: The Conclusion features Ajay Devgn alongside Shriya Saran, Tabu, Jaideep Ahlawat, Ishita Dutta, Kamlesh Sawant and Mrunal Jadhav. The film is directed by Abhishek Pathak.
The movie was released in cinemas on October 2, with the opening-day response now setting the stage for its weekend performance. For fans, Vijay Salgaonkar is back one last time — and apparently, so is the annual tradition of trying to solve a crime from the theatre seat.
