# Drishyam 3 opens with Rs 66.75 crore, Devgn’s career-best day 2026-10-03T07:03:04+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Ajay Devgn’s *Drishyam 3: The Conclusion* earned Rs 66.75 crore net in India on its opening day, Friday, 2 October, making it the actor’s biggest career opener. The film, directed by Abhishek Pathak, sees Devgn return as Vijay Salgaonkar. Amar Ujala reports the Rs 66.75 crore net figure as of writing, with totals expected to rise. TV9 Hindi, citing Sacnilk, adds that the gross domestic collection stood at Rs 80.10 crore and the worldwide opening day gross at Rs 95.10 crore. TV9 Hindi says *Drishyam 3* outperformed the opening-day gross of *Pathaan* (Rs 65.96 crore), *Animal* (Rs 76.10 crore) and *Dhurandhar* (Rs 33.60 crore) in India. The film has also surpassed Devgn’s previous best opener, *Singham Again*, which earned Rs 43.70 crore. ## Indian Opinion Analysis TV9 Hindi reports with a pronounced sensationalist tone, billing the collection as a 'dhamaka' that broke the records of *Pathaan*, *Dhurandhar*, and *Animal* and declaring it Ajay Devgn's career-best opening day. Amar Ujala reports the same opening-day net of Rs 66.75 crore in comparatively neutral, wire-style language, leading with the fact and keeping hyperbole to routine promotional copy. Where Amar Ujala ends on a measured 'figures may rise further', TV9 Hindu builds speculation into the next weekend's record possibilities. The uniform coverage is the shared core figure of Rs 66.75 crore net in India, the difference lies in whether a rival's gross (TV9 Hindu's Rs 80.10 crore) is stated as a yardstick and whether the language is breathless or matter-of-fact. The balanced reading is that *Drishyam 3* opened strongly, surpassing Devgn's prior best *Singham Again* by a wide margin, and its performance against benchmarks depends on which metric, net, gross domestic, or gross worldwide, is chosen. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 1 neutral, 1 sensationalist - amarujala.com (neutral report) Leads with the figure, promotional but not breathless - tv9hindi.com (sensationalist) Declares record-breaking, names films outperformed This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
