  "account": "Ajay Devgn's third installment in the Drishyam franchise, Drishyam The Conclusion, witnessed a remarkable second day at the box office, propelling the film to a cumulative gross of Rs 177.10 crore worldwide. The motion picture commenced with a net opening of Rs 66.75 crore in India on Friday, earning Rs 53.50 crore across 16,868 showings on Day 2. Overseas, the film garnered an additional Rs 38.50 crore, elevating its global gross to the announced figure. Drishyam 3 held an overall occupancy rate of 54.54% on Saturday, with its attendance peaking during evening shows at 76.62%. The film's opening day marking Rs 66.75 crore placed it second among Hindi films' opening days in 2026, trailing Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Ajay Devgn's performance exceeded his previous record-holder, Singham Again, which opened at Rs 43.5 crore. Industry estimates anticipate Drishyam 3 may accumulate around Rs 190 crore during its opening weekend, contingent on Saturday and Sunday performances. This third chapter in the Drishyam series, helmed by Abhishek Pathak, reunites Devgn alongside Tabu and Shriya Saran, complemented by a new ensemble featuring Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj. The film, directed by Pathak, hit theatres on October 2.",
