The box office journey of director Abhishek Pathak's suspense drama Drishyam 3 has concluded after a successful 44-day run in theatres. Starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, the film emerged as a huge blockbuster and stands as the highest global grosser of Devgn's acting career. On its 44th day, the thriller generated 17 lakh rupees, marking a 40 percent rise compared to its 43rd-day earnings. Completing its 7th week during the Diwali period, the movie established itself as the 15th highest-grossing Bollywood release of all time worldwide.
Budget, Profits, and Box Office ROI
Financially, the film achieved exceptional efficiency. Produced on an estimated budget of 110 crore rupees, it netted 380.88 crore rupees across domestic screens. This translated into a direct profit of 270.88 crore rupees, yielding a return on investment (ROI) of 246.25 percent. On the global stage, its total theatrical gross reached 595.38 crore rupees.
The 3 Major Box Office Milestones It Barely Missed
Despite its remarkable run, the film narrowly missed three key box office milestones before wrapping up its theatrical lifespan. First, it fell short of entering the 400 crore rupee net club in India, needing an additional 19 crore rupees to cross that mark.
Second, the international run concluded at 144.89 crore rupees, missing the 150 crore rupee overseas threshold by a small margin. Finally, the picture missed entering the elite 600 crore rupee global gross club by just 4.62 crore rupees, ending its worldwide total at 595.38 crore rupees.
