Drishyam 3 Box Office Day 1: Ajay Devgn Eyes 28.2 Crore Opening Record

Ajay Devgn is preparing to return to one of his most successful franchises with Drishyam 3, and the upcoming crime thriller already has a major box-office target to chase. The film will reportedly need an opening collection of around Rs 28.2 crore to reclaim Ajay Devgn’s position at the top of the list for the biggest opening by one of his crime thriller films.

The competition has become even more interesting following the arrival of Mirzapur: The Movie!. The film has reportedly taken the lead in the crime-thriller opening race, creating a new benchmark that Drishyam 3 will have to cross. To reclaim the throne, Ajay Devgn’s latest installment may need to touch the Rs 29 crore mark on its first day at the Indian box office.

The Drishyam franchise has enjoyed a strong connection with audiences over the years. Ajay Devgn’s portrayal of Vijay Salgaonkar, an ordinary man with an extraordinary ability to protect his family, turned the character into one of the most memorable figures in recent Hindi cinema. The suspense, family drama and unexpected twists helped both previous installments build a loyal fan base.

With Drishyam 3, expectations are naturally much higher. The third chapter is expected to continue the tense battle between Vijay Salgaonkar and the forces trying to uncover the truth behind the events that changed his family forever. Fans are particularly eager to see whether Vijay’s carefully constructed story can survive another investigation.

From a box-office perspective, the opening day will be closely watched. Ajay Devgn has delivered several successful films, but Drishyam 3 carries the advantage of an established franchise with strong audience recognition. Positive early reviews, effective promotions and strong word of mouth could play a crucial role in pushing the film towards the Rs 28.2 crore benchmark and beyond.

However, crossing the Rs 29 crore mark will not be easy. Opening-day numbers depend on multiple factors, including release timing, advance bookings, competition and audience response. If the film manages to generate strong momentum before release, it could challenge the current record and restore Ajay Devgn’s dominance in the crime-thriller genre.

As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Drishyam 3 and its Day 1 collection. The big question remains: Can Vijay Salgaonkar return with another winning move and help Ajay Devgn reclaim his box-office throne?
