Drishyam 3 on a bumper start

The advance bookings for Drishyam The Conclusion opened on September 27, five days before the film hits the screens. As per the latest update on Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 has shown strong momentum in advance sales, crossing the ₹17 crore mark domestically in just 72 hours after bookings opened. According to trade estimates, Drishyam: The Conclusion is set to take an opening above ₹50 crore net.

Drishyam 3 has sold ₹44.33 crore in advance bookings across 6 show dates, ₹34.10 crore without block seats. Day 1 (Fri 2 Oct) leads with ₹23.69 crore; National Capital Region (NCR) is the top city at ₹5.23 crore. The top state for Drishyam 3: The Conclusion Day 1 (Fri 2 Oct) is Maharashtra with ₹7.46 crore (31% of the gross), followed by Delhi at ₹5.23 crore and Gujarat at ₹1.68 Cr.

With this, it has already surpassed the final advance booking figures of Drishyam 2 ( ₹5.09 crore). It is now set to surpass the opening day haul of Singham Again, which collected ₹43.50 crore net in India.

About Drishyam 3

Drishyam 3 picks up after the events of Drishyam 2, but introduces a fresh mystery at its centre. This time, Rajveer takes charge of the case and appears determined to expose Vijay’s carefully constructed story.

What follows is another intense cat-and-mouse chase, with Vijay once again trying to stay several steps ahead of the police while protecting his family. However, unlike the previous films, Vijay appears far more vulnerable this time, as the danger seems to be closing in from multiple directions.

Tabu also returns as IGP Meera Deshmukh, whose personal quest for revenge against Vijay and his family continues. Meanwhile, Prakash Raj’s character warns that Vijay should not be taken lightly, suggesting that the battle between Vijay and the investigating officers could be more complicated than it initially appears.

The Hindi Drishyam franchise, remakes of Mohanlal's Malyalam films, began in 2015 with Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam, followed by Drishyam 2 in 2022. Both films are about the character of Vijay outsmarting the police after a crime involving his daughter.
