Ajay Devgn's Drishyam: The Conclusion has collected Rs 10 crore gross in advance bookings in 48 hours, three days before its October 2 release, according to trade estimates. Hindustan Times reports that 4 lakh tickets have been sold across India, with first-day advance sales alone at Rs 6.65 crore, already surpassing the final advance total of Drishyam 2 (Rs 5.09 crore).
Bollywood Hungama reports that over 1 lakh tickets were sold by Tuesday across the top three national chains, and projects a Rs 50 crore opening day, which would be Ajay Devgn's biggest. Hindustan Times pegs a possible Rs 45 crore start. The film, directed by Abhishek Pathak and co-starring Tabu and Jaideep Ahlawat, releases in theatres this Friday.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hindustan Times and Bollywood Hungama both report robust advance bookings for Drishyam: The Conclusion, but their estimates diverge. Hindustan Times cites trade estimates of Rs 10 crore gross advance bookings and a possible Rs 45 crore opening day, while Bollywood Hungama reckons a Rs 50 crore-plus start, claiming over 1 lakh tickets sold across three chains. Both outlets use bullish language, "record pace" (Hindustan Times) and "insane advances" (Bollywood Hungama), but their opening-day projections differ by at least Rs 5 crore. Bollywood Hungama's higher estimate may reflect a narrower data set (three national chains) versus Hindustan Times' broader ticket sales figure (4 lakh tickets across India). The actual opening-day figure on October 2 will settle which projection was closer.
