On its second day, Drishyam 3 earned a record‑setting first Saturday collection, becoming the fifth biggest opening Saturday for a Bollywood film and securing the ninth spot among the highest‑grossing releases of 2026.
The action‑thriller Drishyam 3, released on 20 September 2026, posted a strong second‑day performance, pulling in a first Saturday collection that ranks as the fifth largest opening Saturday for a Bollywood film of the year. The film amassed a net gross of ₹75 crore on day two, bringing its cumulative earnings to ₹120 crore by the end of the weekend.
Industry analysts note that the film’s first Saturday haul of ₹45 crore places it behind only four other releases in the 2026 box‑office landscape. Drishyam 3’s steady growth has propelled it to the ninth position among the top‑grossing movies of the year, trailing only the blockbusters that dominated the earlier months.
Distributors of Drishyam 3 have highlighted the film’s strong word‑of‑mouth marketing and the star power of its lead actors as key drivers of the weekend surge. The production house has announced plans to expand the release to additional screens in the coming weeks.
Box‑office tracker BoxOfficeIndia.com reports that the film’s trajectory suggests a potential total domestic collection of ₹250 crore if the current trend continues, positioning it as a profitable venture for the producers.
