Ajay Devgn and Tabu are one of Bollywood’s most dependable on-screen pairings, and they have been one for three decades. The Drishyam franchise has made them a box office force in the 2020s, but their story starts much earlier. They first came together with Vijaypath in the 90s, and the partnership has lasted through thrillers, comedies, and action entertainers, with Drishyam 3, turning the latest project of the duo!

Ajay Devgn & Tabu’s 11 films together carry a combined investment of 606 crore. Across those films, they have collected a net collection of 958.92 crore in India, 1,155.92 crore gross in India, and a gross collection of 1,401 crore worldwide, including 246.34 crore overseas. That works out to a net profit of 352.92 crore and an overall ROI of 58.24%.
Drishyam 3 Duo’s Success Ratio
The Drishyam 3 duo has delivered 7 successful films out of 10, with a success ratio of 70%. The three Drishyam films had a combined budget of 238 crore and collected 532.25 crore net in India.

Drishyam 3 Is An Overseas Giant
Drishyam 3 has collected 81.73 crore overseas, the highest of any Ajay Devgn–Tabu film.
