Following the recent release of the highly anticipated trailer for Drishyam: The Conclusion, also known as Drishyam 3, the project has hit the mark. With the hype already established, the well-crafted trailer further amplified the anticipation, positioning the major release to potentially become Ajay Devgn’s highest-grossing opening day film ever at the box office. However, can it surpass the worldwide day 1 collection of Mohanlal’s Drishyam threequel? Let’s break it down.
While the first two Hindi installments of the franchise were remakes of the Malayalam originals, it has been officially confirmed that the plot of the third Hindi installment will diverge from the Malayalam version. This creative decision has drawn widespread approval, especially since the Malayalam threequel faced a mixed response regarding its narrative and overall content. Consequently, anticipation is running high to discover what comes next after the blockbuster success of Drishyam 2.
Drishyam 3 targets a solid start
Scheduled to premiere in theaters on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2), a national holiday, Drishyam 3 benefits from a solo holiday slot that sets it up for a flying debut in the Indian market. It is projected to pull in 45–50 crore net (translating to a 53–59 crore gross) on its opening day. Meanwhile, overseas collections are anticipated to hit 15 crore or higher, bringing the predicted worldwide first-day gross to between 68 and 74 crore.

How much does it need to beat Mohanlal’s threequel on day 1?
Although Mohanlal’s Drishyam 3 missed out on claiming the record for the biggest opening in Mollywood history, it still debuted strongly with a worldwide gross of 43.7 crore. To surpass the Malayalam film, Ajay Devgn’s feature needs to clear that 43.7 crore gross threshold—a target the Hindi film is expected to achieve comfortably, putting it on track to outpace the Mohanlal starrer by a substantial margin.
