Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has made an impressive theatrical debut, registering the strongest opening among the Hindi films in the franchise. The Ajay Devgn-starrer collected Rs 66.75 crore net in India on Day 1, while its worldwide gross reached Rs 95.10 crore, leaving the film just short of the Rs 100 crore milestone.

As per trade tracker Sacnilk, the crime thriller recorded 60.1% overall occupancy across 15,759 shows on its first day. Its India gross stood at Rs 80.10 crore, with another Rs 15 crore coming from international markets. The combined figure took the film's worldwide Day 1 gross to Rs 95.10 crore, reflecting a strong opening across both domestic and overseas screens.

The latest chapter has moved well ahead of the earlier Hindi releases in the series. Drishyam 2 had opened with around Rs 15.38 crore net and Rs 18.15 crore gross, whereas the 2015 original had collected approximately Rs 5.85 crore net on Day 1. At Rs 66.75 crore net, Drishyam 3 has surpassed both opening figures by a wide margin and has also recorded the biggest opening of Ajay Devgn's career.
