Ajay Devgn's latest thriller logged roughly 120,000 admissions across PVR Inox, Inox and Cinepolis, with a holiday boost looming.
Ajay Devgn’s third chapter of the Drishyam saga clocked roughly 120,000 admissions on its debut, according to ticket‑sale data compiled up to 10:30 PM on Thursday. The bulk of those entries came from the PVR Inox network, which reported close to 95,000 tickets, while Cinepolis contributed another 25,000.
The family‑driven thriller, directed by Abhishek Pathak and backed by Panorama Studios and Star Studios, features a familiar ensemble – Tabu, Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj – all of whom helped pull the numbers. Trade analysts are already flagging a potential jump in sales as the October 2 Gandhi Jayanti holiday approaches, a factor that historically inflates footfall for big releases.
Current forecasts from box‑office trackers peg the opening net at somewhere between Rs 50 crore and Rs 60 crore, with a midpoint of Rs 55 crore being the most cited figure. If the early momentum holds, those numbers could be nudged higher. The film is also showing promise beyond Indian shores, with early overseas reports suggesting it may become the strongest overseas performer in Devgn’s recent filmography.
Industry insiders point out that the pre‑sale figures – estimated at around 350,000 tickets – already signal a healthy appetite for the title. The combination of a bankable star, a proven storyline and a festive release window is a recipe that has worked well for similar franchises.
While the numbers look encouraging, the final verdict will come after the holiday weekend, when the film’s true staying power can be measured against competing releases. For now, the buzz around Drishyam The Conclusion is largely positive, and the box‑office trajectory appears set to keep the franchise’s momentum alive.
What’s next?
The next box‑office update is slated for Tuesday, when analysts will reassess the film’s performance after the holiday surge. If the trend continues, the film could comfortably breach the Rs 70 crore mark in its first week, cementing its status as one of the season’s biggest earners.
Fans of the series can expect more promotional pushes in the coming days, with the makers likely to capitalize on the holiday buzz. As the curtain lifts on the final act of this beloved thriller, all eyes remain on whether the numbers can keep pace with the hype.
