Some Sundays rewrite the story of a weekend. Drishyam: The Conclusion (Drishyam 3) closed its first weekend in India with a Sunday jump, and the final total puts Ajay Devgn’s thriller among the biggest openers in Indian box office history.

Drishyam 3: India Weekend Collection

Day	Nett Collection
Friday	₹61 crore
Saturday	₹52 crore
Sunday	₹59 crore
Total	₹172 crore

Where It Ranks?

According to Pinkvilla’s trade estimates, the three-day total is the third-highest first weekend of all time:

Film	First Weekend Nett
Dhurandhar: The Revenge	₹283.50 crore
Jawan	₹177.50 crore
Drishyam: The Conclusion	₹172 crore

The report also notes it trails Pushpa 2 (Hindi), which netted ₹180 crore.

The Sunday Surge

Sunday grew 10-15% over Saturday. The boost came mainly from the Northern, Central and Eastern circuits, plus Gujarat. These regions dipped more on Saturday after the holiday-boosted opening day, then bounced back, with most getting close to first-day numbers and some even going above.

Maharashtra Leads the Charge

Maharashtra remains the film’s top-performing state and still managed to grow, even from an already huge base. It actually beat its first-day collection on Sunday. The state has a strong history with the franchise. Whenever Ajay Devgn plays a Maratha character, whether in Singham, Tanhaji or as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam, it posts outstanding numbers.

What Comes Next?

The film is already a blockbuster. The open question is how big, and that depends on Monday and the weekdays. Strong word of mouth and a Sunday rebound suggest it has legs. For more on the star, see the Ajay Devgn Wikipedia page.
