Drishyam 3 Ends Week 4 With Rs 373 Crore Domestic Haul

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has turned its fourth week into a quiet test of staying power. On day 28, the thriller added an estimated Rs 90 lakh across 3,149 shows in India, according to trade figures compiled by Sacnilk. The daily number was unchanged from the previous day, keeping the film’s domestic net total at Rs 373 crore.

The wider picture is even healthier. India gross has reached Rs 446.72 crore, while overseas gross stands at Rs 132.05 crore after a Rs 15 lakh fourth Thursday. That pushes the worldwide gross to Rs 578.77 crore.

A week-by-week slowdown that was expected

No film can sustain an opening-week pace forever, and Drishyam 3’s trajectory shows the usual long-run curve. The fourth week contributed Rs 11.15 crore, a fraction of earlier weeks but still enough to keep the film on screens.

• Opening week: Rs 245.50 crore domestic net
• Week two: Rs 87.50 crore
• Week three: Rs 28.85 crore
• Week four: Rs 11.15 crore

The day-28 footfalls underline the same story. The film sold 50,619 tickets on Thursday, taking total ticket sales to 16,181,039. Per-show earnings averaged about Rs 2,858.

Occupancy tells a distribution story

The Hindi 2D version recorded 8.79% occupancy on Thursday. Morning shows were slowest at 7.08%, while night shows touched 9.92%. Those are modest numbers, but they point to a film that is still finding its audience in the final shows of the day, when working viewers can turn up.

That late-run consistency matters for exhibitors. A film still drawing 50,000-plus admissions on a weekday can hold screens into the next week, and the night-show bump suggests the audience is choosing it as an evening watch rather than a weekend event.

Why the plot keeps drawing people back

The film follows Vijay Salgaonkar years after he protected his family by outsmarting the authorities. Now his past resurfaces: Meera Deshmukh returns with revenge on her mind, and a new Crime Branch officer begins questioning his carefully built alibis and psychological defences. The Hindi version has its own spine, separate from the Malayalam original led by Mohanlal, which gives fans a different investigative track to follow.

What to watch next

As with all box-office reporting, these numbers are estimates from public and industry sources and may change when official studio data is updated. For now, the key marker is whether the film can stretch its domestic run beyond the Rs 373 crore mark in the weeks ahead.
