Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has made a powerful start at the box office. The Ajay Devgn-led thriller, which released in theatres on October 2, 2026, recorded a massive opening and continued its strong run on Day 2.
The film has generated significant interest among audiences because it brings back Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, the character at the centre of the Drishyam franchise.
According to the latest live box-office tracking data, the film had collected around ₹121.4 crore in India gross across its first two days, with the Day 2 numbers still being updated. The film is also eyeing the ₹100 crore worldwide milestone, which it crossed during its opening-day global run according to the reported worldwide figures.
Drishyam 3 Day 2 Collection
According to the latest Sacnilk live tracking, Drishyam 3 has collected around ₹39.84 crore in India on Day 2 so far, while the film’s cumulative India gross has crossed the ₹121 crore mark based on the live figures.
The Day 2 figure is still subject to updates because the second day of the theatrical run is not yet fully closed. Therefore, the final Day 2 collection could be different from the current live estimate.
The film opened with ₹66.75 crore net in India on Day 1, making it Ajay Devgn’s biggest opening ever.

- India Net: ₹66.75 crore
- India Gross: ₹80.10 crore+
- Overseas: Around ₹15 crore

The exact Drishyam 3 Day 2 worldwide collection will become clearer once the final India and overseas figures are reported.
Drishyam 3 Crosses the ₹100 Crore Worldwide Mark
One of the biggest talking points around the film is how quickly it has approached and crossed the ₹100 crore worldwide milestone.
The movie had already earned around ₹95.10 crore worldwide on its opening day, including its India and overseas collections. With the additional Day 2 earnings, the film has moved past the ₹100 crore mark.
This gives Drishyam 3 a strong start and puts it among the major box-office performers of the year.
Drishyam 3 Opening Day Record
Drishyam 3 opened with ₹66.75 crore net in India, giving Ajay Devgn the biggest opening day of his career.
Before this film, the record was held by Singham Again, which collected around ₹43.50 crore on its opening day.
Drishyam 3 has therefore significantly increased Ajay Devgn’s personal opening-day record.
The film has also surpassed the opening-day collections of several major Hindi releases, including:
- Animal: ₹63 crore
- Pathaan: ₹57 crore
- Dhurandhar: ₹30 crore
The reported figures place Drishyam 3 among the biggest Bollywood opening days.
Drishyam 3 Becomes One of Bollywood’s Biggest Openers
Based on the reported opening-day numbers, Drishyam 3 has entered the list of Bollywood’s biggest opening-day performers.
The film’s ₹66.75 crore India net opening puts it ahead of several major releases. Reports have also compared its opening with films such as Jawan, Pathaan, Animal and Dhurandhar.
The exact ranking can vary depending on whether collections are compared using India net, India gross or worldwide gross figures, so these metrics should not be mixed.
Drishyam 3 Advance Booking
The film had already generated strong demand before its theatrical release.
According to the reported advance-booking data, Drishyam 3 generated around ₹60.17 crore gross from advance bookings in India during the seven-day booking period.
This figure included blocked seats.
After excluding blocked seats, the reported advance gross stood at around ₹49.29 crore.
The film sold approximately 18.02 lakh tickets across 51,570 shows during the advance-booking period.
This strong pre-release demand provided a clear indication of the audience interest surrounding the third installment.
Drishyam 3 Budget
The exact official budget of Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has not been clearly disclosed by the makers.
Different trade and media reports may give different estimates for the production and marketing costs. Therefore, any specific budget figure should be treated as an estimated or reported figure rather than an officially confirmed number.
With the film already generating more than ₹100 crore worldwide at the beginning of its theatrical run, its box-office performance will now be closely watched against its reported production cost.
Can Drishyam 3 Become Ajay Devgn’s Highest-Grossing Film?
The strong opening has also raised questions about whether Drishyam 3 can become Ajay Devgn’s highest-grossing film.
At present, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is among the actor’s biggest commercial successes, with a reported worldwide collection of around ₹361 crore.
Drishyam 3 has only completed the initial stage of its theatrical run, so its lifetime collection will depend on its weekday performance, weekend growth and long-term audience response.
Drishyam 3 Cast
The film features a returning cast from the franchise along with new additions.
The main cast includes:
- Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar
- Tabu

- Mrinal Jadhav
- Rajat Kapoor
- Prakash Raj
- Jaideep Ahlawat
Abhishek Pathak has directed the film.
Jaideep Ahlawat Replaces Akshaye Khanna in Drishyam 3
Drishyam 3 was also in the news before release because of a casting change.
Akshaye Khanna reportedly left the project shortly before filming his scenes with Ajay Devgn. According to director Abhishek Pathak, the development happened around a week before the scheduled shoot.
Instead of delaying the production, the makers reportedly rewrote the script within three days and changed the character. Jaideep Ahlawat was subsequently brought into the film.
Drishyam 3 Copyright Controversy
Before its release, Drishyam 3 also faced a legal challenge.
A petition was filed in the Madras High Court seeking a stay on the film’s worldwide release and distribution. The petition was filed by Mesers Rajkumar Theatre Private Limited against Wide Angle Creations.
The petitioner alleged that the Hindi version was being made without the required approval and raised copyright-related concerns.
The Madras High Court subsequently adjourned the hearing.
The legal dispute became another talking point around the film shortly before its theatrical release.
What Is Drishyam 3 About?
Drishyam 3 continues the story of Vijay Salgaonkar and his family.
The first two films established Vijay as a man who uses his intelligence to protect his family while attempting to stay ahead of the police investigation.
The third installment introduces another layer to the mystery, with a new date, July 23, becoming important to the story alongside the already famous October 2 timeline.
The film once again combines crime, suspense, investigation and family drama.
Drishyam 3 Day 2 Collection: What to Expect Next?
The first two days have given Drishyam 3 a strong box-office foundation.
The film opened with ₹66.75 crore India net, reached around ₹95.10 crore worldwide on Day 1, and has moved beyond the ₹100 crore worldwide milestone with its subsequent earnings.
The next major test will be the weekend. Saturday and Sunday collections will determine whether the film can maintain its strong momentum and move towards the ₹200 crore and ₹300 crore milestones.
For now, the latest live figures indicate that Drishyam 3 is performing strongly at the box office, while its final Day 2 and weekend figures are still being updated.
