Fresh off the success of Dhammal 4, Ajay Devgn is now eyeing a career-high grosser with Drishyam 3. Alongside the massive anticipation already surrounding Drishyam 3, the actor recently shared the release date for Golmaal 5, another major blockbuster announcement. Armed with these two heavyweights, Ajay is poised to make major waves at the Indian box office, potentially entering an elite club alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan by securing a significant opening day milestone twice.
Both titles rank among Ajay’s most eagerly awaited upcoming projects and possess the capability to become his highest-grossing films to date. The Drishyam and Golmaal franchises each boast immense goodwill among family audiences alongside dedicated fanbases cultivated over the years. Representing his safest bets, these releases carry strong expectations for record-shattering debuts given the prevailing hype.
Drishyam 3 and Golmaal 5 have the potential to score 50 crore net on day 1
Set as a holiday release for Gandhi Jayanti, Drishyam 3 is targeting a net opening of 45–50 crore, supported by a warmly received trailer. This positions Ajay Devgn for his first-ever 50 crore net opener at the Indian box office. Given the absence of major competing releases, this milestone is highly likely to be reached.

As for Golmaal 5, it is slated to arrive on January 8, 2027. Although it lands on a non-holiday, it holds strong surprise potential and could similarly hit the 50 crore net threshold on its first day. Currently serving as a solo Bollywood release for that slot, it has ample room to open strongly. While Mahakali featuring Akshaye Khanna premieres on the exact same day, it is unlikely to pose a serious threat due to the dedicated family following the Golmaal brand commands.
Ajay Devgn could join Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan with two 50 crore openers
In summary, Drishyam 3 and Golmaal 5 give Ajay Devgn two distinct opportunities at 50 crore net openers. Should both films perform up to their full capabilities, they will place Ajay alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan as actors with a pair of 50-crore net openers.
For context, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan remain the sole Bollywood stars with two 50 crore net openers to their credit. Shah Rukh accomplished this with Pathaan (57 crore) and Jawan (75 crore), whereas Hrithik achieved it through War (53.35 crore) and War 2 (52.5 crore). Ajay now stands a chance to join them with his upcoming ventures. Prior to Ajay, Ranbir Kapoor is also positioned to join the list via Ramayana, building upon his existing 50-crore net opener Animal (63.8 crore).
