Drishyam 3 nears Rs 273 cr worldwide in three days
Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 3: The Conclusion' earned Rs 61 crore net in India on Sunday, 4 October 2026, a 14 per cent jump from the previous day, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film's worldwide gross has reached Rs 272.80 crore, with Rs 211.80 crore from domestic markets and Rs 61 crore from overseas.
The Hindi 2D edition recorded 64.29 per cent overall occupancy on its third day, with evening shows at 80.46 per cent. The Times of India reports that the film has generated positive discussion in Kerala for its original storyline, while The Indian Express notes it has recorded the second-highest opening weekend for a Hindi film in 2026, behind 'Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge'.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report nearly identical box-office figures from Sacnilk, making the coverage uniform on numbers. The Times of India adds context about the film's reception in Kerala and its original narrative, while The Indian Express highlights the opening weekend ranking against another film. Neither outlet adopts a critical or promotional stance, both present the data straight. The key difference is supplementary framing: the Kerala angle versus the industry ranking, neither altering the core story. The next milestone to watch is whether the film crosses the Rs 300 crore mark globally, which The Indian Express mentions as the film's target.
