The film industry is currently echoing with just one name—Vijay Salgaonkar and his family. According to 'The Freelance' ground investigation and box office tracking, the third installment of the suspense thriller franchise, 'Drishyam 3', has created a major stir in theatres, sending ripples across trade circles. The film has crossed the 100-crore milestone within just two days of its theatrical release.
Crossing 100 Crores in Just Two Days
As per preliminary data and trade reports, 'Drishyam 3' crossed the 101-crore mark by 8:30 PM on its second day. On opening day alone, the film scripted history with a worldwide opening of approximately 95 crores. These numbers prove that the craze for Vijay Salgaonkar's narrative remains unmatched. This marks the biggest opening of Ajay Devgn's career, surpassing several previous big-budget releases.
Major Records Shattered
Trade circles indicate that the tsunami of 'Drishyam 3' has demolished records set by several established films. In terms of opening day and two-day collections, the movie surpassed big ticket films like 'Pathaan', 'Animal', 'Kalki', 'Jailer', and 'Kanthara'. This is considered the biggest opening ever recorded for a suspense-thriller in Indian cinema.
Impact on the Industry and Rival Releases
The mega-release has directly impacted box office dynamics. Due to the overwhelming dominance of 'Drishyam 3', filmmakers of other upcoming projects are altering their release calendars. Reports suggest that Ayushmann Khurrana's upcoming film 'Udta Teer' has postponed its release date to steer clear of this box office juggernaut.
Looking Ahead
The success of 'Drishyam 3' proves that Indian audiences continue to prioritize strong storytelling and gripping performances above all else.
As the film continues its theatrical run, upcoming weekends are expected to push these collection figures even higher, potentially establishing a new benchmark for Bollywood.
