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 and runs 150 minutes, making it 8 minutes longer than Drishyam 2, the makers said.

  • On Friday, October 2, 2026, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion hit theaters, with the Ajay Devgn-starrer recording a massive opening of over Rs 66 crore net in India on its first day.
  • Director Abhishek Pathak helmed this trilogy finale, departing from the Malayalam version to chart an original course, featuring Devgn's return as Vijay Salgaonkar alongside Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor.
  • Advance bookings generated significant momentum, with over 1.3 million tickets sold before release; by its second day, the thriller crossed the Rs 100 crore mark globally, shattering career records.
  • New cast members Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj join the final installment, with Ahlawat appearing as Crime Branch officer Rajveer Singh Tomar to challenge Salgaonkar's evasion tactics.
  • Positive reviews for performances and climatic twists accompanied the release, though critics noted sluggish pacing, as the film marks the end of the Hindi franchise with makers deciding to stop on a high.
