Ajay Devgn’s latest outing has taken the box office by storm, turning a familiar thriller into a blockbuster juggernaut.
Released on October 2 under the direction of debutant Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 assembles a powerhouse cast—Tabu, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Shriya Saran, and Mrunal Jadhav—while carving an original storyline distinct from its Malayalam roots.
On the first day alone, the film amassed ₹66.75 crore nett in India, eclipsing the ₹43.5 crore net haul of Devgn’s earlier hit Singham Again and setting a new career high for him.
By Saturday the movie had already crossed the ₹100 crore threshold, and Sunday’s cumulative nett climbed to ₹176.5 crore, cementing its place as the second‑highest weekend opener of 2026—only Dhurandhar 2, with ₹226.6 crore, has outpaced it.
Internationally, Drishyam 3 pulled in ₹20 crore on Day 3, bringing its worldwide gross to ₹272.8 crore by the end of the first week, a figure that rivals the combined earnings of some of the year’s biggest releases.
With its fresh narrative and mass‑market appeal, Drishyam 3 not only redefines the franchise but also sets the stage for Devgn’s next venture, slated for mid‑2027, which industry insiders say could challenge his status as a box‑office juggernaut.
