Drishyam 3 box office update

Drishyam 3 box office collection day 1: Ajay Devgn's film is off to a great start.

The advance bookings for Drishyam The Conclusion opened on September 27, five days before the film hits the screens. The film registered the fourth-highest advance booking collection for opening day by a Hindi film, minting ₹27 crore before its release. The overall advance booking for the film by release day was in excess of ₹50 crore. Drishyam 3 sold 13 lakh tickets before it released. This converted into a strong opening day.

The morning shows saw around 40% occupancy across India, with some tier-2 and tier-3 centres reporting even higher occupancy. By 4 PM on opening day, Drishyam The Conclusion had earned staggering ₹36.70 crore net across India. This is already among the biggest openings by an Indian film all year and one of the biggest in Ajay Devgn’s career.
