Quick Read
- Day 22 (Friday, Oct 23): ₹1.40 crore India net across 2,322 shows — down 33.3% from Day 21’s ₹2.10 crore, with 67,215 tickets sold. Night shows did best at 31.75% occupancy.
- Totals: India net ₹363.25 crore, India gross ₹435.20 crore, overseas ₹129.75 crore — worldwide gross ₹564.95 crore, per Sacnilk estimates carried by The Times of India and NDTV Profit.
- One line to remember: this is Ajay Devgn’s Hindi Drishyam 3. Mohanlal’s Malayalam Drishyam 3 is a separate film, and its numbers are not in this article.
Drishyam 3 is in the last stretch of its run. Ajay Devgn’s thriller earned ₹1.40 crore net in India on its 22nd day in theatres, according to Sacnilk estimates reported on October 24. The India net total now stands at ₹363.25 crore, with worldwide gross at ₹564.95 crore.
Friday’s figure is 33.3% lower than Thursday’s ₹2.10 crore. That sounds steep, but it’s the normal shape of a fourth Friday — the weekday base is small now, so every crore counts differently. The film played 2,322 shows with overall occupancy of 19.85% for the Hindi 2D version. Attendance built through the day: morning 7.50%, afternoon 17.42%, evening 22.75%, night 31.75%.
The most-watched film in the franchise
Here’s what ₹363.25 crore bought: about 1.56 crore tickets. That makes Drishyam 3 the most-watched film in the Hindi Drishyam franchise — it has edged past Drishyam 2, which sold roughly 1.5 crore tickets for ₹241 crore net, per Zoom TV’s footfall analysis published October 23. The collection gap between the two films is huge; the audience gap is small. Ticket prices have risen since 2022, and that’s doing a lot of the work.
The week-wise picture from Sacnilk: Week 1 ₹245.50 crore, Week 2 ₹87.50 crore, Week 3 ₹28.85 crore. Three weeks, three different films, almost — the opening roar, the steady second, the gentle third.

What ₹1.40 crore means for the run
Let’s do the honest math. At Day 20, the worldwide total was ₹560.02 crore — roughly ₹40 crore short of the ₹600 crore milestone. After Day 22 it’s ₹564.95 crore, so about ₹35 crore still separates the film from ₹600 crore. At ₹1.40 crore a day, that’s a mountain. The realistic target now is ₹365 crore India net — just ₹1.75 crore away — and a lifetime worldwide finish near ₹575 crore.
The one thing in the film’s favour: no major Hindi release is scheduled until Ramayana arrives on November 5, per Sacnilk’s analysis this week. The fourth weekend is open field. If Saturday and Sunday grow the way weekends still do, the film banks most of what’s left in the next 48 hours.
A note on the numbers
BoxOfficeIndia24 puts Day 22 slightly higher at ₹1.51 crore net, with an India total of ₹363.30 crore. That’s ₹11 lakh above Sacnilk’s figure — close, but the two trackers’ day-wise series genuinely differ, so pick one and stay with it. This article uses Sacnilk, matching The Times of India and NDTV Profit.
Overseas is nearly done: ₹0.25 crore on Friday, total ₹129.75 crore. Everything from here is Indian theatres.
