Drishyam: The Conclusion is racing towards a record opening, selling 1.29 lakh tickets for day one in advance bookings.

The Ajay Devgn starrer releases in cinemas on October 2. Trade estimates put gross advance collections past Rs 10 crore within 48 hours of bookings opening, with over four lakh tickets sold for the opening weekend.

The opening day alone has contributed about Rs 6.65 crore in advances, already beating the final advance figure of Drishyam 2, which earned Rs 5.09 crore before its 2022 release.

According to Sacnilk, the film has clocked Rs 24.94 crore in advances across four show dates including blocked seats, with Rs 13.04 crore for the opening day.

Trade projections now see the film opening between Rs 30 and Rs 45 crore, far above Drishyam 2’s Rs 15 crore start. The film was cleared by the CBFC without a single cut.

Why it matters: the final chapter of the Vijay Salgaonkar saga could reset opening benchmarks for Bollywood thrillers.
