Drishyam 3 box office collection day 12: Ajay Devgn scores his first Rs 500 cr film worldwide

Ajay Devgn's crime thriller Drishyam 3 has reached a new milestone at the worldwide box office, becoming his first film as a lead actor to achieve Rs 500 crore in global collections. With a worldwide gross of Rs 501.80 crore, Drishyam 3 has secured the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2026, trailing only behind Rohit Shetty's 2024 cop drama Singham Again.

The film earned Rs 8.50 crore during its second Tuesday of release, thanks to an increase of 41.7% from its previous Tuesday's collection, which included more than 1,000 additional screens and discounted ticket prices. This marks a significant improvement over the sharp decline in earnings from its second Sunday, where the film collected Rs 6 crore from 13,605 screens.

Prior to this, Drishyam 3 had been delivering double-digit collections each day since its release on October 2, setting the stage for a massive opening weekend that generated Rs 176.50 crore. The film has now amassed Rs 245.50 crore in its opening week, with no new releases on the horizon, allowing it to continue its free playing field, resulting in a net domestic earning of Rs 323.50 crore.

Drishyam 3 is now just Rs 6 crore away from surpassing the lifetime domestic box office earnings of Anurag Singh's period war drama, Border 2. The film has already surpassed the lifetime earnings of Ajay Devgn's 2020 period war drama, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, becoming his biggest hit domestically. In addition to this, Drishyam 3 has also become the highest grossing film for Ajay Devgn worldwide, surpassing his previous highest-grossing global film, Rohit Shetty's Singham Again.
