Drishyam 3 Day 13: Rs 324.56 cr India, Rs 350 cr next target

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has moved from a strong opening fortnight into a milestone chase. By Day 13, the Abhishek Pathak-directed thriller sat at Rs 324.56 crore India net on early estimates, with the bigger domestic target of Rs 350 crore net now clearly in view.

That India milestone matters because the Hindi franchise has already done the heavy lifting globally. The film’s worldwide gross crossed Rs 500 crore by Day 12, reaching Rs 501.80 crore. The next question is how quickly the remaining domestic collections stack up.

Day 13 live: the early picture

According to early data from Sacnilk, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion added around Rs 1.06 crore net on Day 13 with 5,363 shows reported. That took the domestic net total to Rs 324.56 crore and the India gross to Rs 389.05 crore. Final figures for the day are still awaited.

The Day 13 number is an early snapshot rather than the full picture, but it shows the film is still finding weekday audiences in its third week—a useful signal for a thriller that has already played across two full weekends.

Domestic run: how the total built up

The India net run has been built on a powerful Week 1 and a robust second weekend:

• Week 1: Rs 245.50 crore net
• Day 8: Rs 14.50 crore
• Day 9: Rs 26.50 crore
• Day 10: Rs 22.50 crore
• Day 11: Rs 6.00 crore
• Day 12: Rs 8.50 crore
• Day 13 (live): Rs 1.06 crore so far

Together, those numbers push the India net to Rs 324.56 crore and the India gross to Rs 389.05 crore. Week 1 delivered the bulk of the business, while the Day 9 jump shows how strongly the second weekend performed.

Overseas and worldwide: Rs 500 crore crossed

Overseas, the film collected Rs 89 crore in its first week, with a strong opening weekend that included Rs 18.50 crore on Day 1, Rs 23 crore on Day 2 and Rs 21 crore on Day 3. Day 8 added Rs 6 crore, Day 9 brought Rs 8 crore and Day 10 contributed Rs 6 crore.

Days 11 and 12 added Rs 2.50 crore each, taking the overseas gross to Rs 114 crore. Combined with the India gross, the worldwide total stands at Rs 501.80 crore.

What next: Rs 350 crore India net, then Rs 525 crore worldwide gross?

The next domestic milestone is Rs 350 crore net. From the current Day 13 early total of Rs 324.56 crore, the film needs roughly Rs 25 crore more in India. It is also close to crossing the Rs 325 crore domestic mark, which should fall once final Day 13 numbers arrive or on Day 14.

On the worldwide gross chart, Rs 525 crore is the realistic next target—about Rs 23.20 crore from the current Rs 501.80 crore total. The hold through the rest of the week and the third weekend will decide whether the film reaches both marks.
