Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam: The Conclusion, the third and final instalment of the Hindi Drishyam franchise, has made a strong start at the box office. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the thriller collected Rs 95.10 crore worldwide on its opening day.
The film, which released in theatres on Friday, earned Rs 66.75 crore nett in India, translating into around Rs 80.10 crore gross. It added approximately Rs 15 crore from overseas markets, taking its worldwide Day 1 collection to Rs 95.10 crore.
Biggest Opening Day Of Ajay Devgn’s Career
With its impressive opening, Drishyam: The Conclusion has recorded the biggest opening day of Ajay Devgn’s career. The film surpassed the previous record held by Singham Again, which earned Rs 43.5 crore gross on its first day.
The movie has also emerged as the second-highest Hindi opener of 2026, behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which reportedly collected Rs 145.55 crore nett on its opening day.
Strong Theatre Occupancy
The film was screened across 15,759 shows on Friday and recorded an overall theatre occupancy of 67.08 per cent.
Occupancy increased steadily throughout the day, with morning shows recording 46.38 per cent, afternoon shows 70.15 per cent, evening shows 75.31 per cent and night shows 76.46 per cent.
The strong evening and night occupancy indicates significant audience interest in the concluding chapter of the popular crime-thriller franchise.
Beats Previous Drishyam Films
Drishyam: The Conclusion has also surpassed the opening-day collections of its predecessors.
The 2015 film Drishyam opened with Rs 5.85 crore nett and eventually earned around Rs 110 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. Drishyam 2, released in 2022, had a much stronger opening of Rs 15.38 crore nett and went on to collect approximately Rs 342 crore worldwide.
The latest instalment has therefore started significantly ahead of both earlier films.
