Drishyam 3 Opens at Rs 66.75 Crore, 2026’s 2nd Biggest Debut
Drishyam 3 has taken a massive opening at the Indian box office. The Ajay Devgn starrer collected an estimated Rs 66.75 crore net in India on Day 1, according to tracking portal Sacnilk. It is the second-highest Bollywood opening of 2026.
The film played on 15,759 shows across India on its release day, October 2. The India gross stood at Rs 80.10 crore, while overseas collections added Rs 15 crore. The worldwide total touched Rs 95.10 crore on the opening day.
The Hindi 2D occupancy was a strong 67.08 per cent through the day. Shows in the evening and night performed even better, with occupancy of 75 to 76 per cent. The film benefited from the extended Gandhi Jayanti holiday period, when family audiences throng theatres.
The film is the final instalment of the popular Drishyam franchise. Ajay Devgn returns as Vijay Salgaonkar, the everyman whose quick thinking has protected his family across two earlier films. The series is among the most loved thriller franchises in Hindi cinema.
The big opening puts the film in a strong position for the weekend.
