Drishyam 3 is charging into its second weekend with a momentum that could redefine Ajay Devgn’s box office legacy. After holding steady through the first week, the film has entered acceleration mode — and Day 9 advance bookings are already painting a picture of a record-breaking second Saturday. According to Koimoi’s day 9 advance booking update, Drishyam 3 sold 2.45 lakh tickets (excluding blocked seats) before the first show began on Saturday.

That translates to ₹7.92 crore in gross collections at the Indian box office, a massive 71.43% jump from day 8’s ₹4.62 crore. In net terms, the advance haul stands at ₹6.71 crore, a figure that already surpasses many opening-weekend performances. The film opened its second Friday with 15,017 shows across India.

By Saturday, 330 additional screens were added, pushing the total to 15,347. Ticket pricing remains in blockbuster territory, though slightly reduced from opening weekend levels. This expansion suggests strong confidence from distributors and exhibitors alike. With positive word-of-mouth circulating and no major Hindi releases competing this weekend, the film is positioned for a significant audience turnout.

Walk-ins are expected to contribute heavily, especially in urban centres where multiplexes dominate. Analysts predict a net collection of ₹20–22 crore on Day 9. A figure that would make it Ajay Devgn’s biggest second Saturday to date, surpassing Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’s ₹16.36 crore. The film’s performance now hinges on whether the initial buzz holds through the full weekend.

If it does, Drishyam 3 could emerge as one of the year’s most consistent commercial successes. The next benchmark? Day 10 collections, which will be tracked closely by trade analysts and fans alike.
