EXCLUSIVE: CBFC clears Drishyam The Conclusion WITHOUT a single cut; is 8 minutes longer than Drishyam 2

The film received a clean U/A 16+ certificate after the CBFC found no cuts or audio-visual changes needed, and it runs 150 minutes.

  • On Friday, October 2, 2026, the suspense thriller Drishyam The Conclusion hit theaters worldwide, marking the final chapter as actor Ajay Devgn reprised his role as Vijay Salgaonkar for the last time.
  • Tremendous audience excitement drove record-breaking pre-sales across India, with an industry tracker reporting over 400,000 tickets sold within 48 hours of advance bookings opening on September 27.
  • Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film features returning stars Tabu and Shriya Saran alongside newcomers Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj, with a 150-minute runtime shedding the remake tag.
  • Critics offered mixed reactions, praising Devgn and Ahlawat's performances while noting sluggish pacing; the film officially became Devgn's biggest career opener, surpassing his 2024 release Singham Again.
  • Confirming the franchise's end, Devgn stated, "I think we should put a stop right now," believing the story reached natural conclusion where writing further sequels would prove difficult.
