The third instalment of Drishyam recorded an 18% increase in collections on its twelfth day, rebounding from a slump on the second Monday.
The Hindi‑language thriller Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn, posted an 18% rise in its box‑office earnings on day twelve, according to data released by trade analysts. The uptick follows a noticeable dip in collections on the film’s second Monday, which had raised concerns about its momentum.
Industry sources said the recovery was driven by renewed footfall in multiplexes across major metros, as well as word‑of‑mouth promotion after positive audience feedback. The film, which opened to strong numbers, had seen its daily net earnings fall from around INR 2.5 crore on day eleven to roughly INR 2.1 crore on Monday, before climbing back to approximately INR 2.5 crore on Tuesday.
The resurgence keeps Drishyam 3 on track to cross the INR 150 crore mark in its first two weeks, a benchmark for commercial success in the current market. Analysts noted that the film’s performance remains resilient despite competition from other releases, underscoring the franchise’s continued appeal.
The producers have not yet disclosed the exact cumulative gross, but the upward trend suggests that the movie may sustain its earnings in the coming days, especially as weekend audiences are expected to boost ticket sales further.
Overall, the 18% jump signals a positive correction after the Monday slump, reinforcing Drishyam 3’s position as one of the season’s leading box‑office performers.
