Day-by-day India collection

Figures: trade tracker Sacnilk, as of 8 October 2026. Early numbers are estimates and are often revised.

Reading the numbers

• The weekend was huge. Three days of Rs 53–62 crore each is rare for any Hindi film. The Gandhi Jayanti holiday on Friday helped a lot.
• Weekdays dropped as expected. Monday fell to Rs 21 crore once offices and schools reopened. Wednesday's Rs 15.50 crore was a 20.5% drop from Tuesday — a fairly steady hold for a big film in its first week.
• Worldwide totals vary slightly by source. Sacnilk puts it near Rs 364 crore; The Times of India reported Rs 366.50 crore. Small gaps like this are normal while overseas figures come in.

The second weekend (9–11 October) will show whether the film can keep pace toward the Rs 300 crore net mark in India.

Why October 2 matters

Fans of the franchise know the date. In the first film, Vijay Salgaonkar's alibi was built around the family's trip on 2 October, and the date has become a running joke and meme ever since. Releasing the final chapter on that day was a deliberate choice that fans loved.

Cast and what audiences are saying

Alongside Ajay Devgn, the film stars Tabu, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and Saurabh Shukla. Jaideep Ahlawat plays a new Crime Branch officer who goes after Vijay, and his face-off with Devgn has been the most-discussed part of early reactions.

Opening-day social media reaction was mostly positive, with praise for the twists and the climax. Many viewers compared it with the Malayalam Drishyam 3 starring Mohanlal; opinion is split, but a large number of Hindi viewers said they preferred this version. Some felt the second film was still the best of the series. The film also has no songs, which several viewers pointed out.

Should you watch it?

If you have seen the first two films, this is the payoff — go in knowing as little as possible about the plot. If you are new to the series, watch Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022) first; the ending makes far more sense that way.
