Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 is turning out to be one of the biggest theatrical success stories of 2026. The film, which opened in cinemas on October 2, has crossed the Rs 500 crore mark worldwide, while its strong run at the domestic box office continues.
The film has collected Rs 501.80 crore globally, including Rs 387.80 crore from India and Rs 114 crore from overseas markets. It has now become Devgn’s highest-grossing film as a lead actor, overtaking Singham Again, which finished its worldwide run at Rs 372.50 crore.
Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3, directed by Abhishek Pathak, has grossed ₹501.80 crore worldwide, becoming Devgn’s highest-grossing film globally and domestically, surpassing Tanhaji with ₹323.50 crore net collection and nearing the third highest-grossing 2026 Indian film.
The milestone is even bigger for the actor domestically. Drishyam 3 has already gone past the lifetime collection of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which earned Rs 279.59 crore in India. It is also Devgn’s first film to cross Rs 300 crore in domestic net collections.
Drishyam 3 box office collection on Day 12
The film showed a noticeable jump on its second Tuesday. Drishyam 3 earned Rs 8.50 crore on Day 12 from 14,846 screens, according to Sacnilk. That was considerably higher than the Rs 6 crore it made on the previous day.
The increase also came as the film added more than 1,000 screens. Tuesday ticket discounts may have helped as well.
The second weekend had already given the film a strong push. It collected Rs 14.50 crore on its second Friday, followed by Rs 26.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 22.50 crore on Sunday. The Monday drop to Rs 6 crore was expected, but the Tuesday recovery once again showed that the film still has plenty of steam left.
Drishyam 3 had opened with an impressive Rs 176.50 crore over its first weekend and finished its opening week at Rs 245.50 crore. With no major new release arriving the following Friday, the film has continued to get a relatively clear run in theatres.
Its domestic net collection now stands at Rs 323.50 crore.
Drishyam 3 eyeing another box-office record
The film is also closing in on another major milestone. It is reportedly around Rs 6 crore short of overtaking Border 2 to become the third highest-grossing Indian film in India this year.
At the top of the 2026 list is Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, while Hanuman Ansh occupies the second position.
For Devgn, however, the records are already significant. Drishyam 3 has become his biggest film both in India and worldwide, comfortably moving ahead of his previous global best, Singham Again.
Drishyam 3 OTT release date on Netflix
While the film continues its theatrical run, attention has now shifted to its digital premiere.
Netflix has acquired the streaming rights to Drishyam 3, and fans are already waiting to know when they can watch it from home. An official OTT release date has not been announced yet.
The film is expected to arrive on Netflix sometime in the middle of November, with November 13 to November 27 being the likely window. However, viewers will have to wait for the makers and Netflix to confirm the exact date.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 features Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Shriya Saran in key roles. The film has received a strong response from audiences and critics, and its box-office run suggests that the Drishyam franchise has lost little of its pull even in its third instalment.
