Drishyam 3: The Numbers
| Metric | Update |
|---|---|
| Tickets sold (so far) | Around 35,000 at the two national chains |
| Expected by end of day | Around 45,000 |
| Benchmark | Similar to Stree 2 at the same stage |
| Opening day forecast | Rs 50–60 crore nett (pinpoint: Rs 55 crore) |
| Release window | Friday, a major national holiday |
Why This Start Matters?
Franchise value is doing the heavy lifting here. Fans who loved the earlier films want closure, and a holiday release gives families the perfect excuse to book seats together.
So far, the advance comes only from multiplexes. Smaller chains like Miraj, Moviemax, Wave and City Pride are also reporting a good advance.
Drishyam 3 vs Stree 2
Stree 2 sold a similar number of tickets at this stage. It opened on Independence Day 2024 and netted Rs 50 crore on day one, which is the number Drishyam 3 will be chasing.
There are two reasons it could do better:
- Higher ticket prices, so the same footfall means a bigger gross.
- No paid previews, so demand isn’t drained before opening day, as it was for Stree 2.
Overseas Is Looking Strong Too
Advances abroad are reportedly healthy, and the film is likely headed for the best overseas run of Ajay Devgn’s career. If advance momentum keeps building, the forecast could be revised upward.
