Devgn Delivers A Career-Defining Hit
Vijay Salgaonkar usually spends his time making crucial criminal evidence disappear entirely. However, the box-office numbers for Drishyam 3 tell an incredibly visible success story. Ten days into its run, Abhishek Pathak’s thriller crossed Rs 300 crore net domestically. This makes it the absolute biggest hit of Ajay Devgn’s career as a leading man. The film collected an impressive Rs 3.09 billion net across Indian theaters. Its domestic gross currently sits at an equally massive Rs 370.80 crore. Overseas audiences contributed another Rs 109 crore to the spectacular financial total. This takes its worldwide total to an astounding Rs 479.80 crore currently.
A Strong Second Weekend Showing
The film is rapidly approaching the monumental Rs 500 crore worldwide milestone. The film’s second weekend saw collections rise sharply on Saturday before easing Sunday. Friday brought in Rs 14.50 crore across a massive 14,583 screens. Collections then jumped aggressively to Rs 26.50 crore on Saturday across 14,903 screens. This represented an incredible increase of more than 80 percent day-over-day. On Sunday, collections fell by roughly 15 percent to Rs 22.50 crore. Together, the three weekend days added a highly solid Rs 63.50 crore. The thriller opened on the Gandhi Jayanti national holiday, collecting Rs 61 crore initially.
Surpassing Tanhaji's Legacy
For six years, Om Raut’s period drama Tanhaji held Devgn's domestic box-office benchmark. Tanhaji earned a highly respectable Rs 279.59 crore net back in 2020. Drishyam 3 easily surpassed that total during its phenomenal second weekend in theaters. It also moved past Tanhaji’s worldwide lifetime gross of Rs 361 crore. Drishyam 3 currently ranks as the year’s fourth-biggest film inside India. The competition will increase significantly as several new films release this coming week. Rajinikanth’s Tamil action thriller Jailer 2 arrives in theaters on Thursday. Keep track of the biggest blockbusters and the numbers driving the entertainment industry.
