Evolution Of The Drishyam Franchise!
When Nishikant Kamat’s original Drishyam premiered in July 2015, it depended heavily on organic word-of-mouth, launching its box office run with a modest net collection of 8.05 crore on Day 1. By the time Abhishek Pathak’s Drishyam 2 arrived in November 2022 following the pandemic, the franchise’s brand equity had expanded significantly, generating a phenomenal net collection of 15.38 crore on opening day.
Adding the opening day earnings of the first two films results in a combined target of 23.43 crore. The third installment featuring Ajay Devgn is comfortably set to exceed that figure, establishing a new franchise record while outperforming the combined first-day earnings of parts one and two.
Taking advantage of the major Gandhi Jayanti national holiday, Drishyam 3 is targeting an opening net collection between 35 crore – 40 crore. Landing in this anticipated range will allow it to effortlessly surpass the 23.43 crore benchmark of its predecessors by a margin of over 11 crore – 16 crore!
Furthermore, an opening above 35 crore will place the feature among the highest-grossing opening days of Ajay Devgn’s career. Dedicated fan loyalty toward the Salgaonkar family narrative, paired with the holiday advantage, has laid the groundwork for a massive box office run. All eyes now turn to October 2 to see how far Vijay Salgaonkar’s latest strategy can carry the domestic box office!
