Drishyam 3 Advance Booking: 4 Lakh Tickets Sold and a Rs 50 Crore Opening in Sight for Ajay Devgn

Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar isn’t just returning to theatres. He’s walking back in with one of the biggest advance bookings Bollywood has ever seen, and the opening day is only hours away.

Drishyam 3: Overview

A Record-Setting Start

The numbers are impressive. According to Pinkvilla’s tracking, the film sold roughly 4 lakh tickets across the two biggest national chains for day one alone. That makes it the second-biggest pre-sale of the year so far, behind only Dhurandhar: The Revenge, and puts it in seventh place on the all-time Bollywood list.

How It Stacks Up?

Here’s how the top of the all-time advance chart looks at national chains, based on Pinkvilla’s figures:

Can It Hit Rs 50 Crore?

The trade seems to think so. Pinkvilla’s forecast puts the opening at around Rs 50 crore, with an outside chance of Rs 55 crore. If that holds, Ajay Devgn could be looking at the biggest opening of his career. The film is also being tipped as one of the year’s top grossers, though the real test comes from audience reaction.

Word of Mouth Will Decide Everything

Big advance sales get people through the door on day one. After that, it’s all about reviews and reactions. Strong word of mouth could trigger instant growth over the weekend, which is exactly what thrillers like this need. Early critical reactions have been positive, so the signs look promising.
