Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 has grossed ₹407.76 crore worldwide in just eight days, propelling his post-COVID global box office tally past the ₹2300 crore mark — a milestone that places him on the verge of overtaking Akshay Kumar. The film follows two back-to-back commercial successes: Dhamaal 4, which earned ₹236.43 crore, and this latest installment in the franchise that redefined Indian crime storytelling. With 14 theatrical releases since 2020, Devgn’s journey hasn’t been linear. It began with Runway 34 (₹52.29 crore), followed by Thank God (₹43.66 crore), then hit its stride with Drishyam 2, a blockbuster that pulled in ₹339.89 crore globally. Bholaa added ₹121.2 crore, Shaitaan brought in ₹216.18 crore, and Singham Again delivered a massive ₹402.26 crore. Raid 2 contributed ₹242.57 crore. But not every film found its audience: Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha earned only ₹16.54 crore, Maidaan settled at ₹70.29 crore despite strong reviews, Naam flopped with ₹1.2 crore, Son Of Sardaar 2 made ₹65.38 crore, and De De Pyaar De 2 collected ₹129.17 crore. Still, the cumulative total for all 14 films now stands at ₹2344.82 crore. Akshay Kumar, meanwhile, has amassed ₹2386.37 crore in the same period. That means Ajay Devgn needs just ₹41.55 crore more to surpass him. A gap that could be closed by Sunday if current trends hold. The race isn’t just about numbers. It’s about resilience. After a string of underperformers, Devgn has recalibrated. His recent run proves that when the right formula, suspense, star power, narrative precision. Aligns, the results are undeniable. Drishyam 3 isn’t just a sequel. It’s a pivot point. And with momentum building, the next target is clear: ₹2400 crore. The question now isn’t whether he’ll pass Akshay Kumar. It’s how fast he’ll go after the next landmark.
