Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3, also featuring Tabu and Jaideep Ahlawat, has crossed Rs 216 crore at the box office on its fifth day, according to The Times of India. The film opened in theatres on October 2, 2026.
The Times of India reports the collection figure as the film completed five days in cinemas. No further breakdown of domestic and overseas earnings was available in the source material.
The film is the third instalment in the Hindi Drishyam series, following Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022). It is distinct from the Malayalam-language Drishyam films headlined by Mohanlal, the most recent being Drishyam: The Conclusion, which NDTV noted crossed Rs 300 crore worldwide within four days of release. Both franchises trace back to the same original story, though their narratives have developed separately.
The Indian Express, in its coverage, described Devgn's character Vijay as resembling a political leader who uses religion to advance his aims — a characterisation of the film's plot that the outlet offered in its review coverage.
Drishyam 3 is among Devgn's biggest box office openings, a subject Rediff addressed in a separate roundup of his career's top debuts.
What to watch next: whether the film's daily collections hold steady through its first full week, and how its final total compares with the Rs 300 crore worldwide figure recorded by the Malayalam counterpart.
