Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam: The Conclusion has opened to a massive response at the Indian box office. Released in theatres on October 2, the crime thriller has reportedly collected ₹216.50 crore net in India within just five days.
The film made a spectacular start with ₹62 crore on its opening day, marking the biggest opening of Ajay Devgn’s career. With its impressive five-day total, Drishyam 3 is now closing in on the lifetime collection of Drishyam 2.
Here is a look at the film’s day-wise box office performance and the records it has already crossed.
Drishyam 3 Day-Wise Box Office Collection
According to early figures reported by Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 has accumulated ₹216.50 crore net in India after five days. The film maintained strong momentum during its opening weekend before experiencing a drop in collections on the following weekdays.
| Day | India Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | ₹62 crore |
| Day 2 | ₹53.50 crore |
| Day 3 | ₹61 crore |
| Day 4 | ₹21 crore |
| Day 5 | ₹19 crore |
| Total | ₹216.50 crore |
The film delivered its strongest weekend performance on Day 3, when it earned around ₹61 crore with approximately 56% occupancy. Collections declined to around ₹21 crore on Monday and further dropped to ₹19 crore on Tuesday.
Drishyam 3 Crosses ₹200 Crore in Just Five Days
One of the biggest achievements for Drishyam 3 is its extremely fast entry into the ₹200 crore club. The film accumulated ₹176.50 crore during its first three days and crossed the ₹200 crore milestone shortly afterwards.
Although the weekday numbers have shown a noticeable decline, the huge opening and strong weekend business have given the film a substantial advantage. Its performance over the next few days will determine whether it can maintain its momentum and reach another major milestone.

How Close Is Drishyam 3 to Drishyam 2’s Lifetime Collection?
The next major target for Drishyam 3 is the lifetime collection of Drishyam 2. The 2022 Ajay Devgn-led thriller reportedly earned around ₹239.67 crore net in India during its theatrical run.
With ₹216.50 crore already in the bag, Drishyam 3 is approximately ₹23.17 crore away from surpassing the second instalment.
If the film continues to generate steady collections in the coming days, it could overtake Drishyam 2 and become the highest-grossing film in the Hindi Drishyam franchise.
Drishyam 3 Beats the Lifetime Collection of Drishyam
Drishyam 3 has also comfortably surpassed the lifetime business of the first film in the franchise.
The original Drishyam, starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, reportedly earned around ₹102.75 crore net in India over its complete theatrical run.
In comparison, the third instalment has already collected more than twice that amount in only five days. The numbers highlight the growing popularity and box-office strength of the franchise among Hindi audiences.
Drishyam 3 Becomes Ajay Devgn’s Biggest Opener
The film has created a major personal box-office record for Ajay Devgn as well.
Drishyam 3 opened with an impressive ₹62 crore net on Day 1, giving Devgn his biggest opening day to date.
Before this, Singham Again held the record for his biggest opening, with approximately ₹43.50 crore collected on its first day.
With its ₹62 crore opening, Drishyam 3 has comfortably surpassed that figure and delivered a new career-best start for the actor.
Drishyam 3 Surpasses Raid 2’s Lifetime Collection
Another significant milestone came when Drishyam 3 moved past the lifetime collection of Raid 2.
The Ajay Devgn-starrer Raid 2 reportedly finished its theatrical run with around ₹173.44 crore net in India. In contrast, Drishyam 3 has already reached ₹216.50 crore after five days.
The film’s next major target is now Singham Again, which reportedly collected approximately ₹247.86 crore during its theatrical run.
Drishyam 3 Cast and Director
Drishyam 3 has been written and directed by Abhishek Pathak. Ajay Devgn returns as Vijay Salgaonkar, the central character of the franchise.
The cast also features Tabu, Jaideep Ahlawat, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta and Mrinal Jadhav, among others.
The film takes the story forward from the events of Drishyam 2, continuing Vijay Salgaonkar’s battle to protect his family.
Drishyam 3 Ending Sparks Discussion
Apart from its box-office performance, Drishyam 3 has also generated considerable discussion around its climax.
The ending of the Hindi film has reportedly taken a different route from the Malayalam version of Drishyam 3. The original Malayalam franchise is directed by Jeethu Joseph and stars Mohanlal in the lead role.
The Hindi adaptation takes the story in its own direction, making the final portion one of the major talking points among fans of the franchise.
Will Drishyam 3 Break Drishyam 2’s Record?
With ₹216.50 crore in five days, Drishyam 3 is now just ₹23.17 crore away from surpassing Drishyam 2’s reported lifetime collection of ₹239.67 crore.
Considering the film’s powerful opening and strong weekend performance, crossing the second instalment’s figure appears within reach if weekday collections remain stable.
If Drishyam 3 manages to overtake Drishyam 2, it will establish a new box-office benchmark for the Hindi franchise. The bigger question now is how far the film can go before completing its theatrical run.
