Taran Adarsh’s Post
On his Sunday post, trade analyst Taran Adarsh had already predicted that Drishyam 3 was on its way to emerge as the second-highest opening weekend grosser.
“SENSATIONAL FRIDAY – REMARKABLE SATURDAY – BLOCKBUSTER RUN CONTINUES… After a massive opening day, #Drishyam3 once again crosses the ₹ 50 cr mark on Saturday, with business going into overdrive towards the evening shows.
“The film is clearly heading towards the SECOND BIGGEST OPENING WEEKEND OF 2026, after #Dhurandhar2,” he wrote.
“The fabulous 2-day total reconfirms the immense love for the #Drishyam franchise, coupled with the audience appreciation and acceptance of #Drishyam3… Had the film not lived up to the sky-high expectations, the cracks would’ve been visible on Saturday morning itself,” he added.
Drishyam 3 Review
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “Come for Ajay Devgn, stay for Jaideep Ahlawat. The former delivers the goods. The latter adds weight, the sort that makes an indelible impression.
“Drishyam: The Conclusion tells a story that is credited to the director and co-screenwriter Abhishek Pathak and not, as in the case of the first two films, to Jeethu Joseph. But the spirit that propels the hero’s actions stems from the original construct.”
Directed by Abhishek Pathak. Produced by Panorama Studios and Star Studio18, it is a sequel to Drishyam 2 (2022). Unlike its predecessors, the film features an original story and is not narratively connected to its Malayalam counterpart.
The film stars Ajay Devgn, Jaideep Ahlawat, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta.
The first part was released on July 31, 2015.
