Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Advance bookings for Drishyam: The Conclusion crossed Rs 10 crore gross within 48 hours of opening, selling over four lakh tickets for the opening weekend. The Ajay Devgn film opens on October 2, 2026. Hindustan Times reports that first-day advance sales alone reached Rs 6.65 crore, already surpassing the final advance booking total of Drishyam 2 at Rs 5.09 crore. Trade estimates vary on the opening day. Hindustan Times cites projections of Rs 45 crore net, while Bollywood Hungama reports some estimates of Rs 50 crore, which would be Ajay Devgn's biggest opening day. India TV calls these preliminary, noting actual figures will come after release. The film is directed by Abhishek Pathak and features Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj as new cast additions.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All three sources report the same advance-booking numbers nearly verbatim, attributing them to common trade sources. Hindustan Times leads with the Rs 10 crore gross figure, Bollywood Hungama with an explosive “Rs 50 crore opening” projection, and India TV with a more cautious Rs 45 crore estimate, framing the numbers as preliminary trade estimates not final figures. None adopt an editorial stance. The uniform coverage reflects the standard entertainment beat: pre-release hype driven by untested projections. The actual first-day collection on October 2 will settle which estimates were closest to reality.
