Drishyam 3 has already crossed 350 crore worldwide in just six days, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise — and not just that. It’s also Ajay Devgn’s third-biggest global hit and Tabu’s second-highest-grossing film ever. The numbers aren’t just strong. They’re seismic. No other film in the Drishyam series has even come close to this scale. Not Drishyam. Not Drishyam 2. This is a full-scale reclamation of legacy, wrapped in a thriller with no loose ends. And it’s only been six days. So what’s next? The film is on track to enter the 400 crore club by the end of its second weekend. That would make it the first Indian film in 2026 to cross that threshold, and one of the few to do so outside the superhero or masala blockbuster category. For Ajay Devgn, it’s a career milestone. He now sits at #3 globally among his own films, behind Singham Again and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior. For Tabu, it’s her second-highest-grossing film worldwide, trailing only Andhadun. Her performance as the woman caught between truth and survival has clearly resonated. Across borders, across audiences. The overseas collection alone stands at 87.73 crore. That’s not a fluke. It’s a pattern. International markets are showing up. The diaspora isn’t just watching, they’re filling theaters. And with the film still running strong, the final tally could be even higher. What’s clear is that the Drishyam universe isn’t ending. It’s evolving. With every frame, the franchise proves it’s not just about crime or suspense. It’s about consequence. About choices. About how far a man will go to protect his family. And now, after six days, the box office says: he went all the way. The question isn’t whether Drishyam 3 will break records. It’s which ones it’ll break next.
