How much did Drishyam 3 make at the box office globally?

The release of Abhishek Pathak's Drishyam: The Conclusion on October 2, 2026, closed one of the most successful crime thriller chapters in Indian cinema. Starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, the Hindi adaptation drew massive theater attendance from day one. At Panaloko, where understanding the mechanics of a winning streak is part of our daily routine, the numbers behind this sequel stand out as a rare, sustained achievement rather than a short-lived opening weekend spike.

By October 13, just twelve days into its theatrical run, the film crossed the 5 billion rupee mark globally, translating to roughly 60 million dollars. The domestic box office showed a resilient pattern. While the second Monday saw daily net earnings dip to 60 million rupees, Tuesday reversed the trend immediately. Ticket sales climbed 41.7% to 85 million rupees, pushing the Indian net total to 3.235 billion and the gross to 3.878 billion. Theaters maintained over 10,000 scheduled shows across the country during this second week, with night screenings holding a 28% occupancy rate.

The international reception matched the domestic momentum. Overseas markets generated 1.14 billion rupees, marking the first time an Ajay Devgn project surpassed the 10 million dollar threshold internationally. This performance easily eclipsed the 2.396 billion net earnings of the previous installment, making it the highest-grossing entry in the series.

The Hindi production, which filmed in Mumbai and Goa between December 2025 and June 2026, is actually the second Drishyam 3 to reach audiences this year. The original Malayalam continuation, Drishyam 3: The Past Never Stays Silent, directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Mohanlal, debuted earlier on May 21, 2026. Following the Hindi film's record-breaking run, Mohanlal publicly commended Pathak's team for providing a fitting end to the story. For viewers in the Philippines who prefer to watch at home, the Malayalam version is already available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
