Drishyam 3 is generating significant buzz ahead of its worldwide release on October 2, 2026. This crime thriller, starring Ajay Devgn and directed by Abhishek Pathak, has already amassed impressive advance bookings, setting the stage for a potentially record-breaking opening in Hindi cinema. The film, officially titled Drishyam: The Conclusion, has reportedly achieved a gross of Rs 8.97 crore in advance sales by 5 pm on September 29, 2026, signalling strong consumer interest.

As of this reporting, Drishyam 3 has sold 2.24 lakh tickets across 7,505 scheduled screenings for its first day. The total advance bookings recorded over its initial three days reached Rs 17.35 crore, including Rs 11.12 crore after excluding blocked seats. These figures suggest that audiences are keen to witness the latest chapter of this franchise.

Day 2 advance bookings contributed Rs 4.74 crore, with 1.25 lakh tickets sold across 6,915 shows, while Day 3 has subsequently generated Rs 4.02 crore from 1.09 lakh tickets spread across 6,787 locations. This indicates a sustained interest in the film as the release date approaches, reflecting positively on its potential box office performance.

Regional Contributions to the Box Office

Maharashtra has emerged as a significant contributor to the film’s Day 1 advance sales, accounting for Rs 2.93 crore of the total. Meanwhile, the National Capital Region, specifically Delhi, has added Rs 2.19 crore to the overall earnings. Such robust numbers from major urban areas illustrate the widespread enthusiasm for Drishyam 3, which is expected to appeal to a broad demographic.

With three days remaining prior to its release, projections suggest that the film could debut with around Rs 40 crore in India. If the current pace of bookings continues, Drishyam 3 may join the ranks of other recent high-profile films, such as Mirzapur: The Movie and Border 2, which achieved notable box office success.

For context, Mirzapur: The Movie registered approximately Rs 24.75 crore nett, while Border 2 garnered around Rs 32.10 crore nett during their opening days. In comparison, Drishyam 2, which debuted in November 2022, achieved a nett collection of Rs 15.38 crore in its first day, with a domestic gross of Rs 18.15 crore throughout its opening weekend.

The cast also features prominent actors Tabu, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, and Jaideep Ahlawat. Positioned as the concluding segment of the franchise, the narrative follows Vijay and his family as they navigate complex situations arising from previous events in the series.

The anticipation surrounding the film is heightened by its compelling storyline and the return of familiar characters, which could attract both existing fans and new audiences alike.
