Ajay Devgn's "Drishyam 3: The Conclusion" has closed its first week with a staggering Rs 383.60 crore in global gross, dethroning "Singham Again" to become the actor's highest-grossing film worldwide, according to a records roundup published by The Week.
A week of shattered benchmarks
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the crime thriller became the fastest entry in the Drishyam franchise to cross both the Rs 100 crore and Rs 200 crore domestic net marks, hitting Rs 200 crore in just five days. Its Day 1 collection of Rs 62.00 crore net on Gandhi Jayanti stands as the highest single-day collection of Ajay Devgn's career and the third biggest opening day in Hindi cinema history.
On the worldwide front, the film reached the Rs 300 crore global benchmark in just four days and completely outperformed the lifetime global collections of both "Drishyam" (2015) and "Drishyam 2" (2022) in less than six days. Its Rs 383.60 crore first-week global gross surpassed "Singham Again"'s lifetime collection of Rs 372.41 crore.
Milestones beyond the lead star
The records extend past Devgn. The film's Rs 89 crore overseas gross in its first week beat the lifetime international run of "Singham Again" (Rs 75 crore). For co-star Tabu, the film has become the second highest-grossing release of her career — surpassing "Drishyam 2" and "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" and trailing only "Andhadhun". The combined domestic net collections of the Hindi Drishyam trilogy have now crossed the Rs 500 crore milestone.
Trade watchers will now track whether the thriller can sustain its momentum into the second weekend as it chases the Rs 400 crore global mark.
