Few thrillers get a send-off like this. Drishyam: The Conclusion has wrapped its first week with about Rs 236 crore nett in India, and it has already beaten the lifetime run of its predecessor. For Ajay Devgn, it’s turning into a career-defining box office story.
The Numbers That Matter
The film earned roughly Rs 12 crore nett on Thursday, taking its seven-day Indian total to about Rs 236 crore. That is higher than the Rs 234 crore nett the previous Drishyam film finished with in 2022, so the sequel passed the old record before its second weekend even started. Overseas, it has grossed around USD 8.80 million (about Rs 85 crore), lifting the worldwide gross to roughly Rs 370 crore.
That worldwide figure also makes it Devgn’s biggest grosser ever, edging past the Rs 358 crore of Tanhaji. Trade watchers expect the Rs 400 crore worldwide mark to fall soon, which would be a first for the actor.
Drishyam The Conclusion: Day-Wise India Collections (Nett)
| Day | Collection |

| Saturday | Rs 52.00 cr |
| Sunday | Rs 59.00 cr |
| Monday | Rs 19.50 cr |

Why the Weekday Dip Isn’t a Worry?
The jump from a Rs 59 crore Sunday to a Rs 19.50 crore Monday looks steep, but there’s a reasonable explanation. The film is doing especially well in big-city centres, which tend to fill up on weekends and cool off on working days. This pattern has held so far, and advance bookings for the second Friday are reportedly much stronger than the weekday numbers. Trade estimates point to growth on Friday and a further surge on Saturday.
What Comes Next?
If the weekend goes well, the film could cross Rs 300 crore nett by Sunday night. From there, Rs 400 crore nett is described as a fairly straightforward target, with Rs 500 crore and Rs 600 crore worldwide gross also in the conversation. Keep in mind that all of these are trade estimates, not certified accounts, and final numbers can shift.
