Overview
- Drishyam 3 collected about ₹66.7 crore in India on Friday, a Sacnilk figure that trade outlets called the biggest opening day of Ajay Devgn’s career.
- Advance bookings were unusually strong, with trade tracker Sacnilk reporting roughly ₹60.13 crore in gross advance sales and BookMyShow selling over one million tickets in the first 24 hours.
- The film is promoted as the concluding chapter of the Hindi Drishyam series and departs from previous instalments by using an original Hindi story written for the franchise by director–writer Abhishek Pathak.
- Critics and industry peers gave mostly positive reactions, with public endorsements from figures such as Karan Johar and early reviews praising performances by Ajay Devgn, Jaideep Ahlawat, Tabu and Shriya Saran.
- Early estimates put the worldwide opening near ₹95 crore and the reported production budget at about ₹110 crore, figures that could affect whether the film recoups costs quickly and influence studios’ willingness to back original scripts for remake-based franchises.
