Drishyam 3 Box Office: 150% Jump on Sixth Monday Takes Ajay Devgn Film to Rs 380 Crore, Rs 1.52 Crore from Third Most Profitable of 2026

Six weeks into its run, and with Ramayana taking most of the country’s screens, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has just posted its most surprising number yet. The Ajay Devgn thriller jumped 150 per cent on its sixth Monday, collecting around Rs 20 lakh on Monday, November 9, against Rs 8 lakh on Sunday. Trade tracker Koimoi puts the film’s India net at Rs 380.07 crore after 39 days, with a worldwide gross of Rs 593.42 crore — and its day-wise page now shows Rs 380.27 crore after 40 days. The film opened on October 2 with Rs 62 crore net on Day 1, its biggest single day, and has been adding small, steady sums ever since.

The Monday jump puts the film within touching distance of a ranking that matters more than the gross. Koimoi ranks Drishyam 3 as the fourth most profitable Hindi film of 2026, behind Hanuman Ansh, Dhurandhar 2 and Awarapan 2 — and to match Awarapan 2’s 246.90 per cent return on investment, it needs an India net of Rs 381.59 crore. It is Rs 1.52 crore away. At the current pace, that gap closes within days, even on weekday collections of a few lakh. The film crossed Rs 400 crore worldwide on October 10, posted the third-highest opening week of 2026 at Rs 240 crore, and recorded the year’s second-highest second Friday at Rs 13.20 crore.

There is something fitting about the way this film is finishing. Drishyam 3 is the final chapter of the franchise, built around Vijay Salgaonkar’s last attempt to protect his family, with Jaideep Ahlawat’s determined officer and Prakash Raj closing in — and its box-office story has become a slow-burn version of the same plot: no single day of fireworks after the opening, just a plan that keeps working. A 150 per cent Monday jump in week six, in the middle of the Ramayana storm, is word of mouth and Diwali footfalls doing what opening weekends cannot. It also underlines how the trade now measures success: not by gross alone, but by return on investment, where a well-budgeted thriller can outrank far bigger films.

Directed by Abhishek Pathak and presented by Star Studio18 as a Panorama Studios production, the film stars Devgn alongside Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta and Mrunal Jadhav. It tells a new story rather than remaking the Malayalam original — a gamble that has paid off with audiences and at the box office.
