Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam 3 crosses Rs 229 crore collection by day six

The thriller film Drishyam 3 has reached a total net collection of Rs 229.96 crore across India by 10 pm on Wednesday, its sixth day in theatres. Directed and co-written by Abhishek Pathak, the movie registered a record opening day collection of Rs 66.75 crore net on October 2 after advance bookings brought in Rs 27 crore starting September 27.

Box Office Performance

The film collected Rs 53.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 61 crore on Sunday, leading to a massive opening weekend that outpaced films like War and Tiger 3. On Wednesday, the movie earned Rs 12.96 crore. Even though this marks its lowest single-day haul so far, the double-digit earning shows a strong hold on a weekday.

Production And Cast

The sequel to the 2022 film Drishyam 2 features Ajay Devgn returning as Vijay Salgaonkar. The cast also includes Jaideep Ahlawat, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav. Writer Aamil Keeyan Khan shared that director Abhishek Pathak kept the climax a secret from a large part of the crew to prevent leaks.

Context

Sequels in successful Indian thriller franchises often draw large opening crowds due to built-in audience curiosity about ongoing plotlines. The film now competes at the box office with other recent releases like Border 2 and Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
