The ₹300 Crore Milestone
Following a massive second Saturday where the film hauled in ₹26.50 crore, Drishyam 3 held its ground brilliantly on its second Sunday (Day 10). According to the latest trade updates from Sacnilk, the suspense thriller collected an estimated ₹23 crore nett across India on Day 10.
This robust Sunday collection has pushed the film’s cumulative domestic net total to a staggering ₹309.50 crore. Achieving the ₹300 crore milestone within just 10 days of its theatrical release is a monumental feat, proving that the audience’s investment in the cat-and-mouse chase between Vijay Salgaonkar and the authorities remains at an all-time high.
Ajay Devgn’s Biggest Blockbuster
The phenomenal success of Drishyam 3 marks a historic moment in Ajay Devgn’s illustrious career. With its current domestic earnings, the film has officially surpassed the lifetime collections of his previous mega-hits, including Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and the 2022 predecessor Drishyam 2.
Drishyam 3 is now officially the highest-grossing film of Ajay Devgn’s career. The groundwork for this massive success was laid on Day 1 itself, when the film opened to a jaw-dropping ₹66.75 crore net, making it the third biggest opening for a Hindi film ever and Devgn’s biggest career opener.
The Franchise Legacy
Backed by Star Studio18 and Panorama Studios, the Hindi Drishyam franchise has grown exponentially since its inception in 2015. While the first film earned ₹110 crore worldwide and the second grossed nearly ₹342 crore globally, Drishyam 3 has taken the cinematic universe to unprecedented heights.
The film’s gripping narrative, co-written by director Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan, and Parveez Shaikh, is elevated by a powerhouse ensemble cast. Alongside Ajay Devgn, the film features the stellar return of Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta, and Kamlesh Sawant. The intense addition of Jaideep Ahlawat and a special cameo by Saurabh Shukla have served as massive crowd-pullers, ensuring the franchise concludes on an absolute high note.
