Ajay Devgn's highly anticipated crime thriller 'Drishyam 3' continues its strong run at the box office, maintaining impressive numbers as it completes 10 days in theaters. The franchise has once again delivered massive returns for the actor, shattering previous franchise records along the way. With worldwide collection figures coming in exceptionally strong, the film is now rapidly approaching the major milestone of joining the 500 crore club.
Crossing the 450 Crore Mark in 10 Days
Within just 10 days of its theatrical release, the thriller has comfortably crossed the 450 crore milestone. While collections naturally experience some deceleration as the second week progresses, the film is still performing significantly better than initial projections. Soon, the Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer is expected to enter the 500 crore club, cementing its status as the second highest-grossing film of the year.
Strong Opening Weekend and Active Show Count
According to box office tracking data, 'Drishyam 3' registered an impressive opening weekend net collection of 176.50 crore rupees in the domestic market. This stellar debut propelled it to become the 7th highest-grossing opening weekend Hindi release ever, outperforming several major blockbusters in the process. Currently, the film continues to screen across 14,872 shows nationwide, driving its domestic gross earnings to an impressive 370.80 crore rupees.
Global Collection and Direction
Looking at the worldwide performance on its tenth day, 'Drishyam 3' pulled in 22.50 crore rupees, bringing its cumulative global collection to 479.80 crore rupees. The film is poised to breach the 500 crore mark very soon. Directed by Abhishek Patil, the gripping thriller showcases a meticulous narrative that has resonated strongly with audiences worldwide.
Surpassing Major Releases to Claim the Second Spot
The film has not only emerged as the highest-earning project of Ajay Devgn's career but has also secured the position of the second highest-grossing film of 2026. It has successfully overtaken the lifetime collections of Sunny Deol's 'Border 2' (which collected around 450 crore rupees globally) and 'Hanuman Ansh' (which earned approximately 435.37 crore rupees globally). Ajay Devgn now trails only behind Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', which holds a massive worldwide collection of 1813 crore rupees.
Comparison with Hanuman Ansh and Star Cast
Comparing its box office trajectory with 'Hanuman Ansh', the biographical film based on the life of Neem Karoli Baba has completed 66 days in theaters, holding a steady presence. 'Hanuman Ansh' has accumulated a worldwide collection of 435.37 crore rupees, with a domestic net collection of 334.48 crore rupees.
