When the silver screen flickers, some stories get a second life, and Drishyam 3 is one of them. Released on October 2, the film has already turned heads as the second‑highest Hindi grosser of 2026.
Mohanlal’s video on Star Studio 18 reads, “I watched Drishyam: The Conclusion, and I am truly impressed with the way they have brought this much‑loved journey to a befitting end. Congratulations to Abhishek Pathak, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay Devgn, and the entire cast and crew on a job so well done.”
By day 11, the film had netted ₹6.25 cr from 13,605 shows, pushing its India gross to ₹378.24 cr and net to ₹315.25 cr. Overseas, a modest ₹2.50 cr added to a total of ₹111.50 cr, bringing the worldwide tally to ₹489.74 cr.
Still, Dhurandhar: The Revenge sits atop the 2026 charts with ₹1,149.30 cr net in India and a staggering ₹1,813.39 cr worldwide. Drishyam 3, while not the top, is a heavyweight contender.
NDTV’s Saibal Chatterjee notes, “Come for Ajay Devgn, stay for Jaideep Ahlawat. The former delivers the goods. The latter adds weight, the sort that makes an indelible impression.” The cast—Ajay, Jaideep, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, and Ishita Dutta—keeps the drama tight.
With a fresh story penned by Abhishek Pathak, the sequel diverges from the Malayalam narrative while retaining its core mystery. Drishyam 3 is Ajay Devgn’s highest‑grossing film yet and his first to cross ₹300 cr in India, setting the stage for future chapters in this gripping saga.
