Drishyam 3 earns Rs 272.80 crore worldwide in opening weekend
Ajay Devgn's ‘Drishyam 3: The Conclusion’ has collected an estimated Rs 272.80 crore gross worldwide in its first three days, according to trade website Sacnilk. The film released on 2 October and earned Rs 176.50 crore net in India, as reported by Business Today. TV9 Hindi puts the worldwide figure at around Rs 300 crore, adding that it is the biggest opening weekend of Devgn's career.
Business Today reports the film earned Rs 62 crore net on day one, Rs 53.50 crore on day two, and Rs 61 crore on day three from 17,323 shows. It says the franchise's popularity and the Gandhi Jayanti release date helped. The film stars Shriya Saran, Tabu, Ishita Dutta, Prakash Raj, Jaideep Ahlawat and Saurabh Shukla, and is directed by Abhishek Pathak.
TV9 Hindi notes that both earlier parts are available on OTT: part one on Amazon Prime Video and Jio+Hotstar, and part two on Amazon Prime Video. Business Today says the film is expected to soon cross Rs 300 crore worldwide.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two outlets frame the same opening weekend with different emphasis. TV9 Hindi uses a rounded Rs 300 crore figure and a dramatic tone about audience craze, omitting the day-wise net breakdown and the specific India vs worldwide split that Business Today reports. Business Today sticks to Sacnilk's precise Rs 272.80 crore worldwide gross and Rs 176.50 crore India net, adds a comparison with the previous two films' opening weekends, and gives a day-wise table. The Business Today article is uniform straight reporting, the TV9 Hindi article sensationalises the number. A reader can rely on the Business Today figures for accuracy, while the TV9 Hindi piece serves as a hype indicator. The next milestone both hint at is the Rs 300 crore worldwide mark.
