Drishyam 3 has not just opened — it’s detonated. In just two days, the Ajay Devgn-starrer crime thriller has grossed ₹178.52 crore worldwide, a figure that places it firmly in the top 10 highest-grossing films of his career. The real shock isn’t the total. It’s the speed. Within 48 hours, the film has already surpassed Golmaal 3’s entire lifetime collection of ₹169.09 crore, dethroning a comedy classic that once stood as a benchmark in Devgn’s filmography. That kind of feat usually takes weeks, even months. This happened in two days. The overseas tally alone stands at ₹44 crore, underscoring strong international appetite. According to trade sources quoted by Koimoi, the momentum is only building. Advance bookings suggest Drishyam 3 will soon overtake Singham Returns (₹201 crore) and Shaitaan (₹216.18 crore), potentially securing a spot in the top eight of Devgn’s career earnings. The film, which concludes the much-anticipated franchise starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Prakash Raj, is now on track to become one of the most dominant releases of the year. And it hasn’t even hit its peak. The next 24 to 48 hours will determine whether this is a fleeting surge or the start of a sustained run. One thing’s certain: the box office landscape just shifted.
