Drishyam 3 box office: Ajay Devgn film crosses ₹240 crore in week one, overtakes Drishyam 2

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has collected about ₹245 crore net in India in its first week and overtaken Drishyam 2‘s lifetime India total, according to box-office trackers.

The crime thriller opened in cinemas on 2 October. Trade tracker Sacnilk puts its first-week India net at ₹245.50 crore, while Koimoi reports ₹243.5 crore. The small gap is typical, as trackers use different data.

Day-by-day collections

Sacnilk’s India net figures for the first week:

• Day 1 (Friday, 2 October): ₹62 crore
• Day 2 (Saturday): ₹53.5 crore
• Day 3 (Sunday): ₹61 crore
• Day 4 (Monday): ₹21 crore
• Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹19.5 crore
• Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹15.5 crore
• Day 7 (Thursday): ₹13 crore

Koimoi’s day-wise figures differ slightly for days 2, 3, 5 and 6, but both trackers agree on the ₹62 crore opening and the ₹13 crore seventh day.

Gross and worldwide

Sacnilk estimates the film’s India gross at ₹294.60 crore and its overseas gross at ₹89 crore, taking its worldwide gross to about ₹383.60 crore after seven days. Koimoi puts the India gross at ₹287.33 crore.

Where it ranks

According to Koimoi, the film has passed Drishyam 2 (₹241 crore net) to become Ajay Devgn’s third-highest-grossing film in India, behind Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (₹279.5 crore) and Singham Again (₹270.6 crore).

Koimoi also ranks it fourth among this year’s Bollywood releases in India, behind Dhurandhar 2, Border 2 and Hanuman Ansh. The tracker called it “the biggest opening week of Ajay Devgn” and said the ₹300 crore net mark should be reached “comfortably”.

Holding up in week two

The drop from day 6 to day 7 was about 13%, which Koimoi described as only slightly more than a routine fall. Sacnilk recorded 17% occupancy for Hindi 2D shows on day 7, rising to about 25% for night shows.
