A steady third Wednesday
Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 added ₹2.65 crore net in India on its twentieth day, maintaining a decent hold over the ₹3.4 crore it collected on day eighteen. The total now stands at ₹360.15 crore net, or ₹425 crore gross.
With Udta Teer and other releases reducing the film’s show count, the pace is likely to slow. The ₹400 crore net milestone appears out of reach, but a nearer target is in play: crossing Border 2’s ₹362.76 crore to become the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2026.
Week-wise India collections
The numbers show a front-loaded start followed by a steadier tail, with daily spikes keeping the run alive.
- Week 1 – ₹243.5 crore
- Week 2 – ₹90 crore
- Day 15 – ₹3.1 crore
- Day 16 – ₹5 crore
- Day 17 – ₹6.25 crore
- Day 18 – ₹3.4 crore
- Day 19 – ₹6.25 crore
- Day 20 – ₹2.65 crore
- Total – ₹360.15 crore
The profit milestone
Made on a reported budget of ₹110 crore, Drishyam 3 has returned ₹250.15 crore over that cost in 20 days, or 227.41 percent. Under Koimoi’s classification, that is a super-duper hit.
It is the third Bollywood film of 2026 to cross the ₹250 crore ROI mark, following Dhurandhar 2 at ₹961.32 crore and Hanuman Ansh at ₹339.23 crore. The distinction is worth noting because ROI tracks profit after recouping the budget, not just the size of the gross. A ₹110 crore film earning ₹360.15 crore net tells a different story from a far more expensive film reaching the same collections.
What to watch next
The immediate box office question is whether Drishyam 3 can move past Border 2 in the next few days, even as screens go to new titles. A finish near ₹375 crore net remains the practical ceiling.
