Vijay Salgaonkar's story has reached its final chapter, and audiences have turned up in huge numbers. Drishyam: The Conclusion, starring Ajay Devgn, released on 2 October 2026. It has crossed ₹500 crore in worldwide gross in two weeks, and trade reports call it the biggest hit of Ajay Devgn's career.
Collections so far
- Week 1: about ₹237.5 crore net in India, boosted by the festive holiday and higher ticket prices.
- Week 2: about ₹84 crore net.
- India net after 15 days: about ₹325 crore (Pinkvilla). Sacnilk puts it at about ₹333 crore net, or ₹399 crore gross.
- Overseas: about ₹116 crore gross.
- Worldwide: over ₹515 crore gross.
The slowdown
The film's run has been front-loaded. In its third week, it faces Jailer 2 and a crowd of new releases. Its third-Friday collection dropped to about ₹2.75 crore, down about 80% from the second Friday. Trade analysts say reaching ₹350 crore net will now be a challenge.
About the film
