Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has crossed Rs 480 crore in worldwide gross within ten days, making it the biggest global release of the actor’s career and the second-highest Hindi grosser of 2026 so far.
The film opened on October 2 with a Rs 62 crore Day 1 and wrapped its first week at around Rs 245 crore in domestic nett. On Day 10, it collected Rs 23 crore nett across 14,872 shows. That pushed the India nett total to Rs 309.50 crore and the India gross to Rs 371.40 crore. Overseas remains steady: Day 10 added Rs 6 crore, taking the foreign gross to Rs 109 crore. The worldwide total now stands at Rs 480.40 crore.
The second Sunday gave the film a visible lift, a pattern that matters in a market where the second-weekend hold often separates a hit from an event. The day-10 show count of 14,872 suggests exhibitors are retaining screens rather than cutting them sharply, which usually points to continuing audience demand.
The 2026 chart shifts
With those numbers, Drishyam 3 moves past Border 2 (Rs 464 crore) and Hanuman Ansh (Rs 431 crore) on available figures. It now sits at number two for Hindi films this year, behind only Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge at Rs 1,852.44 crore.
- Worldwide gross after 10 days: Rs 480.40 crore
- India gross: Rs 371.40 crore; India nett: Rs 309.50 crore
- Overseas gross: Rs 109 crore
- Day 10 nett: Rs 23 crore across 14,872 shows
What this means for Devgn
The run also redraws the actor’s own record. Drishyam 3 has passed Singham Again (around Rs 372 crore worldwide) and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (around Rs 369 crore), giving Devgn the highest global total of his career. For the franchise, it confirms that a thriller with a recurring protagonist can scale over three instalments rather than fading after a breakout first chapter.
The film, directed by Abhishek Pathak, returns Devgn to the role of Vijay Salgaonkar as a closed case reopens. Jaideep Ahlawat, Shriya Saran, Ishita Dutta, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj and Mrunal Jadhav co-star.
What to watch next
The immediate marker is Rs 500 crore worldwide. Drishyam 3 needs under Rs 20 crore more to get there; how quickly it arrives will depend on weekday holds through the second week. It will not challenge Dhurandhar 2’s enormous lead, but its second spot looks firm on current form.
