By the eleventh day of release, Drishyam 3 had fallen 72% from its opening, bringing the film's global gross to ₹490 crore.
The Hindi thriller Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn, opened on 18th September and initially drew strong audience interest, especially in multiplexes across North India. By the end of its first week, the film had already crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide.
On the eleventh day of its theatrical run, the film experienced a sharp decline of 72% in daily collections, a trend that mirrors the typical post‑opening slump seen in Bollywood releases. The drop was most pronounced in the domestic market, where screens began to replace the film with newer releases.
Despite the steep decline, Drishyam 3's cumulative worldwide earnings reached ₹490 crore, placing it among the top‑grossing Indian films of the year. The total includes collections from India, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Industry analysts note that while the film's performance is respectable, the rapid fall in collections suggests limited word‑of‑mouth traction beyond the core fan base of the franchise.
