The film 'Drishyam: Conclusion' has earned the status of a box office leader, causing a real sensation at the box office. This meme-worthy character from the 'Drishyam' franchise, which was often discussed in connection with the events of October 2nd, has gained wide popularity in pop culture. The franchise, based on a Malayalam remake, has been recognized as a global success, and three parts of this story have already been released in Hindi.
Recently, the film 'Drishyam: Conclusion' starring Ajay Devgn was released, and preliminary sales already indicated its potentially huge success. Before the film's release, it was expected that 'Drishyam 3' could collect 40–50 million rupees on the first day, but as the release date approached and audience interest grew, forecasts increased to 55–60 million rupees.
After the film's release on October 2nd, the first-day collection report became available. Thanks to the holiday associated with Ganesh Chaturthi, the film showed excellent results. According to Sakencilk, the film collected a net income of 66.75 million rupees in 15,735 theaters across the country. The gross revenue in India amounted to 80.10 million rupees. Furthermore, 'Drishyam 3' earned another 15 million rupees outside India, leading to a total global collection of 95.10 million rupees.
This success makes it the only Hindi film to collect such an amount in one day after Ranveer Singh's 'Durhandar: Revenge'. The film gave Ajay Devgn his biggest box office start in his 34-year career. Among actors from the 90s, he surpassed stars like Shah Rukh, Salman, Amir, and Akshay, setting a record for opening collections in Hindi. Moreover, he overtook the first-day collection of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jaan', which collected 65 million rupees in 2023, beating it by only 1 million rupees. Within Hindi releases, he is only surpassed by Ranveer Singh's 'Durhandar: Revenge', which started with 102 million rupees.
The film 'Drishyam 3' received positive reviews from both critics and audiences. Following impressive first-day collections, it can be assumed that it may surpass the second part in total revenue. There is a possibility that within the first week, the film will exceed the mark of 150 million rupees. The film was written and directed by Abhishek Pathak. It is worth noting that this episode of the 'Drishyam' series is not a direct remake of the Malayalam original.
