Ajay Devgn's film 'Drishyam 3' earned around 300 crore rupees in its first week of release

Salman Khan attended a special screening in support of Veer Pahadia's upcoming film 'Prem Keetanu'. This film is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 2nd on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, and it will directly compete with Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam: The Conclusion'.

Salman Khan arrived in a grand style and wished the film's team well. Directed by Apurva Singh Karki, the film features Veer Pahadia alongside Aparshakti Khurana and Afia Syed in significant roles. The movie is based on college life and portrays love, friendship, and the struggles of young Indians.

Superstar Salman Khan made his presence felt at the special screening of Veer Pahadia's film 'Prem Keetanu'. He arrived at the event in a casual yet stylish look, wearing a light blue shirt with white trousers and sunglasses. Later, he was seen posing for pictures with a young man.

For the special screening, the actor wore a light blue shirt (with rolled-up sleeves) and white trousers. He completed his look with dark sunglasses, a watch, and a bracelet. Salman Khan's presence added vibrancy to the event, as he came to support Veer Pahadia before the film's release.

Besides Salman, several other dignitaries were present at the special screening, including Sara Tendulkar, Himesh Reshammiya, and his wife.

'Prem Keetanu' is an upcoming Hindi comedy-drama-romance film starring Veer Pahadia. Apurva Singh Karki is directing the film, and Aparshakti Khurana and Afia Syed are also in major roles.

The film is produced under the banner of Avnika Films by Gaurav Verma. Initially, it was speculated that it would be a Hindi remake of the Malayalam romantic comedy 'Premalu'. However, Veer Pahadia clarified that 'Prem Keetanu' is an original story and not based on any remake.

Ajay Devgn's much-anticipated film 'Drishyam: The Conclusion' is also releasing on October 2nd at the box office. In this context, it will be interesting to see how much benefit 'Prem Keetanu' receives with the support of Salman Khan.

The release of the film 'Drishyam 3' (Drishyam: Conclusion) is scheduled for October 2, marking the conclusion of a story that began 11 years ago with the Vijay Salgaonkar family. This film is the final installment in the 'Drishyam' franchise.

The film's trailer generated significant public interest, leading to a large number of pre-bookings. According to Sakencilk, in the first three days after sales began, specifically from September 27, the film collected over 400,000 tickets, generating a gross revenue of 17.23 crore rupees, of which about 10 crore was earned without corporate bookings. This period covers the dates from October 2 to October 4.

On the first day alone, October 2, the film was screened in approximately 7,480 theaters across the country, collecting 8.90 crore rupees from pre-bookings, including 6.73 crore rupees without corporate buyers. About 2.23 lakh tickets were sold on the first day. Industry analysts estimate that Ajay Devgn's picture could start with a box office collection exceeding 40 crore rupees, which would be the highest figure in the history of this franchise.

If the pace of pre-sales continues, 'Drishyam 3' could become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, provided it collects around 40–50 crore rupees on its opening day. Currently, the record for the highest box office revenue in the Hindi film industry belongs to 'Durdanhar 2' with 90 crore rupees, followed by 'Border 2' starring Sunny Deol with 32.10 crore rupees.

The creators themselves announced that 'Drishyam: Conclusion' will be the last film in the Hindi franchise. All actors from previous parts will participate in the film, and Jaydeep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj will also join.
