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

  • On Friday, October 2, 2026, thriller Drishyam: The Conclusion hit theatres, earning Rs 66.75 crore net in India on its opening day. Trade tracker Sacnilk reported this as a franchise-best start for the Ajay Devgn-starrer.
  • Director Abhishek Pathak's Drishyam: The Conclusion serves as the final chapter in the Hindi franchise, deviating from the Malayalam version to chart a new path for Devgn's character, Vijay Salgaonkar.
  • Tremendous audience interest fueled pre-release momentum, with over 1.3 million tickets sold and more than Rs 49 crore in gross pre-sales. New cast additions Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj join returning stars Tabu and Shriya Saran.
  • Crossing the Rs 100 crore mark within two days of release, the film demonstrates strong momentum through the holiday period. This performance solidifies box-office success despite competition from films like Digger and Verity.
  • Official trade data confirms the film stands as the biggest opener of Devgn's career, surpassing Singham Again's Rs 43.5 crore opening. Its success cements the franchise's legacy as character-driven storytelling concludes Salgaonkar's long-running narrative.
