Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar is still pulling audiences into theatres in week three. Drishyam 3: The Conclusion added ₹0.79 crore from its Day 18 shows so far, lifting its India net total to ₹348.14 crore. Worldwide, the film is now at ₹538.27 crore gross.
Where the numbers stand
The Abhishek Pathak-directed finale banked ₹245.50 crore in week one and ₹87.50 crore in week two. By the end of the third weekend, the India net had crossed the ₹347 crore mark, and the early Day 18 count pushed it higher. India gross now stands at ₹417.20 crore, while overseas gross is ₹122 crore.
- India net after Day 18 partial: ₹348.14 crore
- India gross: ₹417.20 crore
- Overseas gross: ₹122 crore
- Worldwide gross: ₹538.27 crore
The next milestones
The headline chase is now simple. The film is within touching distance of ₹350 crore India net and is eyeing ₹550 crore worldwide gross. That would give the Hindi franchise a strong close and confirm the kind of staying power most sequels do not enjoy this late in a run.
Why this ending matters
Drishyam has always been unusual: a thriller whose real weapon is not action but story logic. The third film reunites Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar with Tabu as Meera Deshmukh, Rajat Kapoor as Mahesh Deshmukh, and the rest of the Salgaonkar family. It runs 150 minutes, carries a UA 16+ certificate, and closes the long battle between the family and the police.
Director Abhishek Pathak has confirmed that this installment is designed as the definitive end to the Hindi franchise, ruling out a fourth part despite the strong collections. That gives every remaining box office number an extra charge: fans are watching the conclusion, not just another chapter.
What to do while it is in cinemas
If you are planning to watch, this is a film that rewards remembering the core alibi from the earlier two parts. The theatrical run still has legs, but the final milestones are likely to land before the OTT window opens.
