As one of the most-loved Bollywood franchises in recent years, the excitement is clearly visible on the ground level, and the makers have chosen an apt date for the film’s grand release. Given the fantastic pre-sales response, it is clear that the film is eyeing Ajay Devgn’s biggest opening ever, and it won’t stop there, as the 50 crore milestone will be achieved comfortably. Keep reading for a detailed day 1 prediction report!
Genuine excitement about the threequel
Over the years, the Drishyam franchise has built its loyal fan base, and there’s a strong goodwill associated with the brand. The character of Vijay Salgaonkar and his efforts to save his family after an unintentional murder have always struck the right chords with audiences, and even this time, there’s curiosity about his next actions. So, there’s genuine excitement among audiences on the ground level.
Besides curiosity-driven buzz, Drishyam 3 also benefited from a well-cut trailer. The Ajay Devgn versus Jaideep Ahlawat face-off looks like a treat, thus pushing the excitement to the next level.

A smart move by the makers and the holiday factor
While Mollywood’s Drishyam threequel was a big hit, it generally had mixed reactions among audiences. For many, the threequel wasn’t a satisfying watch. For Hindi, the makers played it smart by choosing a different storyline for Drishyam 3, which is supposed to be the final installment of the franchise. It also helped the film distance itself from a remake tag this time, thus naturally building curiosity about the finale.
The crime thriller is benefiting from the Gandhi Jayanti holiday. Due to the holiday release, advance bookings have an edge, and even walk-ins will be huge tomorrow.
Day 1 prediction of Drishyam 3
On the whole, things are looking very bright for Drishyam 3. With final opening-day pre-sales heading towards 20 crore+, and a huge audience turnout expected tomorrow, the film targets a mammoth 57-62 crore net at the Indian box office. Such numbers are like a dream for a crime thriller, and it’s crazy that even the mark is within reach.
With such an expected start, Ajay Devgn is all set to deliver his first-ever 50 crore net opening. Among all Bollywood films, it is likely to register the 6th-biggest opening of all time, overtaking Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (57 crore).
