Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion is enjoying a remarkable run at the worldwide box office. The crime thriller has reportedly collected ₹479 crore globally within its first 10 days, bringing it close to the prestigious ₹500 crore milestone. Despite a slowdown during the weekdays, the film has continued to attract audiences, establishing itself as one of the biggest commercial successes of 2026 so far.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film brings back Vijay Salgaonkar, the clever family man whose attempts to protect his loved ones have kept audiences guessing throughout the franchise. With Jaideep Ahlawat joining the cast, the latest instalment has generated considerable interest among fans of the popular thriller series.
Drishyam 3 Box Office Collection Day 10
According to the figures provided by Sacnilk, Drishyam 3 has earned approximately ₹479 crore in worldwide gross collections by Day 10. Its domestic performance has been particularly strong, with the film reportedly collecting ₹309 crore net in India.
The film began its theatrical journey on an impressive note, earning ₹176.50 crore net in India during its opening weekend. This gave it one of the strongest opening weekends among Hindi releases, placing it seventh on the reported list and putting it close to the opening-weekend figures of Sultan.
The film also reportedly surpassed the opening-weekend collections of War and Tiger 3, underlining the excitement surrounding Vijay Salgaonkar’s final chapter.
After completing its first week with around ₹245 crore net in India, the thriller continued to draw audiences into its second week. It earned approximately ₹14.50 crore on Friday before adding another ₹49 crore over the second weekend.
Although weekday collections showed some decline, the film’s overall performance remained strong enough to push its worldwide total towards ₹500 crore.
Overseas Collection Takes Worldwide Total to ₹479 Crore
While India has been the biggest contributor to the film’s box-office performance, international markets have also added to its total.
The film reportedly collected around ₹6 crore on its 10th day, taking its overseas gross collection to approximately ₹109 crore. Combined with its domestic business, this brought the worldwide gross to ₹479 crore.
Crossing ₹450 crore within just 10 days is a major milestone for the thriller. The next target is the ₹500 crore mark, which would further strengthen its position among the year’s biggest releases.
However, its final lifetime collection will depend on how well it holds up during the coming weekdays and subsequent weekends.
Drishyam 3 Becomes Ajay Devgn’s Biggest Box-Office Success
The film’s reported worldwide collection has also made it the highest-grossing film of Ajay Devgn’s career, surpassing the lifetime totals of his earlier releases.
For an actor whose filmography includes action blockbusters, comedies, dramas and suspense thrillers, the success highlights the commercial appeal of the Drishyam franchise.
Vijay Salgaonkar has become one of Ajay’s most recognisable characters, with audiences drawn to his intelligence, calm personality and determination to protect his family. The character’s ability to stay several steps ahead of the authorities has been central to the franchise’s popularity.
The third instalment’s strong performance suggests that audiences remain invested in Vijay’s story, particularly as the film is being presented as the final chapter.
Drishyam 3 Ranks as the Second Highest-Grossing Film of 2026
With its reported worldwide collection of ₹479 crore, Drishyam 3 has secured the second position among the highest-grossing films of 2026 so far, according to the figures supplied.
The film has moved ahead of the reported worldwide collections of Border 2, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh, which earned around ₹450 crore, and Hanuman Ansh, which reportedly collected approximately ₹435 crore.
It remains behind Dhurandhar: The Revenge, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, which has reportedly amassed around ₹1,813 crore worldwide.
The gap between the two films remains substantial, but Drishyam 3 has established itself as a major box-office performer in its own right. Its continued performance will determine how much higher it can climb on the annual list.
Ajay Devgn Returns as Vijay Salgaonkar
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 features Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar, alongside Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav and Kamlesh Sawant. Jaideep Ahlawat also plays a key role in the thriller, while Saurabh Shukla reportedly appears in a cameo, reprising his character from the second film.
The story moves forward from the events of Drishyam 2, with Vijay and his family still living under the shadow of the old murder case. Although they hope the legal proceedings will finally come to an end, the past refuses to remain buried.
