Just when trade analysts thought the Vijay Salgaonkar wave was finally subsiding, Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 has delivered yet another massive box office surprise. The gripping crime thriller, which concludes the highly acclaimed franchise, experienced a significant dip at the ticket counters on its second Monday. However, proving its incredible staying power, the film orchestrated a stunning turnaround on Day 12.
Defying typical weekday trends, Drishyam 3 witnessed a massive 40% jump in collections on its second Tuesday, pushing its overall domestic net past the monumental ₹327 crore mark.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the film’s unexpected Tuesday resurgence, its recovery from the Monday crash, and its journey toward becoming one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters of the year!
The Monday Crash and Tuesday Turnaround
After a phenomenal second weekend that pushed the film past the ₹300 crore milestone, Drishyam 3 faced a harsh reality check on its second Monday (Day 11). While early estimates suggested a double-digit hold, actual footfalls saw a major crash, bringing the Monday collections down significantly.
However, the Abhishek Pathak directorial refused to stay down. On Day 12 (Tuesday, October 13, 2026), the film witnessed an extraordinary 40% jump in daily earnings. Evening and night shows across major multiplex chains in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Gujarat reported a sudden surge in occupancies.
This rare Tuesday spike—likely driven by positive word-of-mouth penetrating deeper into family audiences and special weekday ticketing offers—brought the Day 12 collections to a highly impressive figure, firmly steering the film back on track.
Zooming Past ₹327 Crore
With the added boost from the Tuesday turnaround, Drishyam 3 has officially crossed the ₹327 crore nett mark at the domestic box office. The film’s India gross is now rapidly approaching the ₹390 crore threshold, while its worldwide gross continues to dominate the global charts.
The franchise finale, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Akshaye Khanna, and Jaideep Ahlawat, is already the highest-grossing film of Devgn’s entire career. By bouncing back from the Monday slump, the film has solidified its chances of challenging the ₹350 crore lifetime milestone in India before the major Diwali releases hit the screens later this month.
As the thriller continues to dominate single screens and multiplexes alike, the makers at Panorama Studios and Star Studio18 are celebrating a historic victory for content-driven cinema!
