Drishyam 3 Box Office Day 1: Will It Become Ajay Devgn’s Biggest Threequel Opening – Here’s How Much It Needs To Earn?

When it comes to building, sustaining, and leading film franchises in Indian cinema, Ajay Devgn occupies a unique position. Widely regarded as Bollywood’s Franchise King, the superstar has consistently delivered hits across iconic series including Singham, Golmaal, Dhamaal, and Drishyam. Within his filmography, Drishyam 3 marks the fourth series to reach a threequel, following Singham, Golmaal, and Dhamaal.

Director Abhishek Pathak is set to bring back Vijay Salgaonkar on October 2, 2026, for what is expected to be the conclusion of the crime thriller franchise, and box office expectations are already running high. The key question remains: can this suspense thriller surpass Ajay Devgn’s previous third-installment openers to achieve his highest-grossing threequel opening of all time?

Drishyam 3 VS Ajay Devgn’s Biggest Threequel Opening!

Historically, third installments in Ajay Devgn’s film series have drawn massive responses at the Indian box office. His top-grossing threequel opening to date is Singham Again, which pulled in 43.70 crore on opening day. Drishyam 3 is poised to capitalize on the Gandhi Jayanti national holiday on October 2 as it aims to outpace the opening figures of Singham Again.

Ajay Devgn’s upcoming crime thriller is positioned to claim the number one spot from Singham Again as the top threequel opener of his career. By doing so, it will naturally become the actor’s biggest career opener overall.

Check out the threequel openings of Ajay Devgn’s career at the box office (India Net Collections).

1. Singham Again: 43.7 crore
2. Total Dhamaal: 16.5 crore
3. Golmaal 3: 8.10 crore

Given that Drishyam 2 was a box office phenomenon, anticipation for Vijay Salgaonkar’s final chapter has left audiences eager. Launching on the date central to the movie’s plot will provide an ultimate holiday advantage at the ticket counters. Alongside Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Shriya Saran, new cast members Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj have further amplified the project’s buzz. Attention is now fixed on October 2 to see what records will fall at the box office.
