Strong Advance Ticket Sales
Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3 Sells 174,000 Advance Tickets Ahead of October Release
Anonymous
Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam: The Conclusion, the third and final Hindi installment, is building strong advance sales ahead of its October 2 release, with reports putting opening-day bookings at roughly 150,000 to 174,000 tickets and gross sales near Rs. 7 crore. Box-office expectations range from a Rs. 40 crore-plus opening to estimates of Rs. 50 crore or more, with some projections reaching Rs. 60 crore, though the figures remain forecasts as bookings continue. Trade analyst Komal Nahta cited the franchise’s popularity and the significance of October 2 in the films as reasons for expecting a strong debut. Unlike the first two Hindi films, which were remakes of Malayalam originals, this concluding installment is reported to have a new story rather than adapting Malayalam Drishyam 3.
