Titled Drishyam 3 and featuring Ajay Devgn alongside Jaideep Ahlawat, the film formally released as Drishyam: The Conclusion has drawn among the stronger box office tallies recorded in 2026. Under Abhishek Pathak's direction, the crime thriller brought in a net Rs 62 crore across Indian theatres on October 2 — a first-day domestic collection that stood as the highest single-day opening Ajay had recorded across his career.
During its second week of release, box-office receipts placed the film ahead of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, giving the actor a new career-best earner. Within the franchise, the film has moved ahead of Drishyam 2 to hold the position of highest-grossing entry.
Ten days into its theatrical run, Drishyam 3 had brought in a net domestic haul of Rs 309.50 crore across Indian screens, while its cumulative global earnings reached Rs 480.40 crore. Heading into its third week of release, the film had accumulated enough revenue to overtake Border 2 in total earnings, leaving it ranked alongside just one other Indian production in the upper tier of 2026's domestic box-office standings.
A war drama featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh brought in a combined global box-office total of Rs 450.19 crore across its full run in cinemas. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, featuring Ranveer Singh, has held onto the number-one position on the global box-office chart, with cumulative earnings reaching Rs 1,820 crore worldwide.
With Ramayana: Part 1 scheduled to open on November 5 — a date that currently lacks any direct box-office competition — Drishyam 3 is positioned to cross the Rs 500 crore mark in global ticket sales before that window closes.
The cast of Drishyam 3 extends beyond Ajay and Jaideep, drawing in Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Kamlesh Sawant, Ishita Dutta, and Mrunal Jadhav, alongside a broader ensemble of performers. Screenplay duties for the project fell to Abhishek Pathak, Aamil Keeyan Khan, and Parveez Shaikh, with Star Studio18 and Panorama Studios respectively handling presentation and production responsibilities. Four producers — Alok Jain, Ajit Andhare, Kumar Mangat Pathak, and Abhishek Pathak — share production credit on the project.
Portraying SP Crime Branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar, Jaideep Ahlawat takes on an investigative role in this concluding instalment of the franchise, pursuing Vijay Salgaonkar — the character played by Ajay Devgn — and his family. In Drishyam: The Conclusion, Vijay's drawn-out evasion of legal pursuit across eleven years reaches its endpoint, with the film wrapping up a storyline built around his repeated efforts to stay ahead of authorities.
