Actor Ajay Devgan will be reprising his role as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam: The Conclusion that will be concluding the Drishyam series in Hindi films. Releasing on October 2, 2026, it seems that there is already some anticipation of how much money Drishyam 3 will earn on its opening day. As per a recent report from Pinkvilla, Drishyam 3 is expected to collect a sum of Rs 50 crore to Rs 60 crore on its opening day, with Rs 57 crore being its precise number.
One of the most important elements that could be contributing towards its box office performance on its opening day is release date. Drishyam 3 is releasing on a national holiday and thus there is going to be a very high possibility of more footfalls in its opening weekend. Also, Drishyam franchise has fan following attached to it due to the reason that Ajay Devgan is reprising his character Vijay Salgaonkar along with other actors such as Tabu and Shriya Saran.
Though there is a positive prediction for the first day of Drishyam 3, pre-bookings of the movie are also very crucial to achieve the desired numbers. As per Pinkvilla, though pre-bookings of the movie were not that good, there will be many walk-ins for the movie on the first day along with good reviews.
Apart from that, at the moment, we have the final prediction for Akshay Kumar’s Haiwaan that is scheduled to hit the theatres on September 11, 2026. The movie is predicted to make between Rs 4 crore and Rs 7 crore on the first day with the final number coming in at Rs 5 crore net.
It can be seen that there is quite a difference in the predictions of the two movies, which goes on to prove the significance of the factors of franchise, timing, and audience expectations in the box office. Though Haiwaan will have to try hard to achieve the box office success through the theatrical run, Drishyam 3 will enter the market with the franchise and holiday effect.
For Ajay Devgan, the movie is additionally loaded with the task of ending what is arguably one of the best suspense franchises in the Hindi film industry. According to Devgan, the Hindi adaptation has been made using a completely different and conclusive storyline, where the entire screenplay had been worked on for about two-and-a-half years.
Since the movie, Drishyam: The Conclusion, is weeks away from release, the projected collection figure of Rs. 50-60 crore can only be considered a prediction and nothing more than a box office collection number for now.
