Drishyam 3 box office update

The advance bookings for Drishyam The Conclusion were enough indication that the film was poised for a massive opening weekend.

Drishyam 3 sold 13 lakh tickets before it released. All of this culminated in a historic opening weekend.

On release day, Drishyam The Conclusion earned a massive ₹62 crore net in India, the fourth-biggest opening by a Hindi film ever. On Saturday, the film dipped a bit, returning figures of ₹53.50 crore. However, it was still enough to take the film past ₹100 crore. On Sunday, the film saw its earnings accelerate.

On Sunday, Drishyam 3’s morning shows saw around 42% occupancy across India, with some tier-2 and tier-3 centres reporting even higher occupancy. This is already among the biggest opening weekends by a Hindi film in history.

Drishyam 3 beats Shaitaan, The RajaSaab lifetime hauls

Drishyam The Conclusion’s record-breaking opening weekend has allowed it to surpass the lifetime collections of several big films from recent times. It had already beaten Salman Khan’s Sikandar ( ₹107 crore) on Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, it had surpassed Prabhas’ The RajaSaab ( ₹138 crore), Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 ( ₹150 crore), and Ajay’s own film, Shaitaan ( ₹144 crore).

Bollywood’s top opening weekends

Drishyam The Conclusion is on course to register one of the biggest opening weekends for a Hindi film at the domestic market. The overall record - Dhurandhar 2’s massive ₹443 crore start - is well beyond its reach, as are the marks set by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan ( ₹286 crore) and Pathaan ( ₹280 crore). But a strong day will help it break into the top 10, potentially overtaking War ( ₹166 crore) and Sultan ( ₹180 crore). However, surpassing Animal ( ₹202 crore) and Stree 2 ( ₹204 crore) may just be out of its grasp.
