Drishyam 3: Can Ajay Devgn Reclaim Box Office Throne?
5 Sep
Summary
- Mirzapur: The Movie now holds the record for the highest crime thriller opener.
- Drishyam 3 needs 28.2 crore on its opening day to reclaim the top spot.
- Ajay Devgn previously held the record with Drishyam 2's 15.38 crore opening.
Ajay Devgn's command over the crime thriller genre has been significantly challenged following the recent box office performance of "Mirzapur: The Movie." This film, released on September 4, 2026, achieved a remarkable opening day collection of 28.11 crore, unseating Devgn's previous record holder, "Drishyam 2," which had opened to 15.38 crore.
The anticipation now shifts to "Drishyam 3," starring Ajay Devgn in his popular role as Vijay Salgaonkar. To reclaim his status as the top performer in the crime thriller category, the film must surpass the 28.11 crore mark on its opening day. Analysts suggest that with the established franchise appeal and character loyalty, achieving an opening day collection of approximately 29 crore is a realistic goal for "Drishyam 3."
If "Drishyam 3" successfully garners over 28.2 crore on its release, it will not only restore Ajay Devgn's genre monopoly but also mark one of the highest opening performances of his career. The success hinges on strong advance bookings and initial audience turnout, positioning Vijay Salgaonkar's return as a potential record-breaking event in the box office history of crime thrillers.
