With this strong performance, the movie continues to draw audiences across metros and Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
Continuing its good run on Monday with Rs 21 crore, the film has also set a new benchmark in Devgn's career, as Drishyam 3: The Conclusion surpassed Singham Again, which earned Rs 18 crore on its first Monday. It is also one of the fastest Bollywood film to surpass the Rs 50 crore mark in India.
Drishyam 3 became the biggest opener of Ajay Devgn’s career and the second-highest opening weekend grosser of 2026, only after Ranveer Sing's Dhurandhar 2.
The franchise has grown with each part. Drishyam (2015) earned Rs 110 crore worldwide, while Drishyam 2 (2022) closed at Rs 342.5 crore worldwide.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film is the third and final instalment of the franchise. Devgn returns as Vijay Salgaonkar, with Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav reprising their roles. Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj are the new additions to the cast.
Drishyam: The Conclusion review: Ajay Devgn's Vijay Salgaonkar signs off with a tense, fitting finale - no spoilers
The murder-mystery universe comes with the challenge of maintaining the suspense, tension, and the slow-burning narrative that the audience felt when they first stepped into Vijay's world. Maintaining that same bar is no cakewalk, but they did it in the sequel and have done it again with the conclusion, framing situations in a way that will surely make you wonder about Vijay's next move. With the understanding that building a franchise on a murder mystery is a challenging job, as the demands a writer has to fulfil go beyond satisfying many minds. But this franchise has done it with a mostly linear narrative. Much like the first two parts, this one also keeps you hooked with a story that has aged well in many ways. Starting with a tense atmosphere, the trio of writers, Aamil Keeyan Khan, Abhishek Pathak and Parveez Shaikh, strikes a perfect balance between humour (credit goes to Gaitonde (Laxmikant), twists and tension.
