Third Saturday, third wind
Sixteen days is a long run for most films. Drishyam 3 is behaving like it’s still in week one. On Saturday it played 4,137 shows — barely fewer than Friday’s 4,157 — and overall occupancy across Hindi 2D screenings reached 35.52%.
The day built slowly. Morning shows registered 18.92%. Afternoon climbed to 33%. Evening touched 35.31%. Then night shows took off — 42.15%, the day’s highest. Weekend nights still belong to this film.
Saturday brought 224,413 footfalls. The film’s total footfall count now stands at 14,524,984 — over 1.45 crore people have watched it in theatres so far.
Kolkata loved it the most
The region-wise numbers tell a fun story. Kolkata recorded 73.8% overall occupancy on Saturday — the highest of any major region. Its evening shows hit 98%. Night shows weren’t far behind at 92%.
Bengaluru wasn’t far off either, at 59.8% overall with night shows at 75%. Pune ran at 48%. Mumbai held at 33.5%. Even smaller centres stayed in the game — the film is drawing audiences everywhere, not just the metros.

That kind of spread is rare this deep into a run. Most films fade to the big cities by week three. Drishyam 3 is still playing wide.
₹528.77 crore worldwide and counting
Here’s the full picture after 16 days. India net: ₹341.10 crore. India gross: ₹408.77 crore. Overseas: ₹2.50 crore came in on Saturday, taking the international total to ₹120 crore. Worldwide gross: ₹528.77 crore.
Week one had delivered ₹245 crore. Week two added another ₹87.50 crore. The third weekend is now doing its part — and the ₹350 crore India net mark is firmly in sight.
One tracker reads the day slightly higher. BoxOfficeIndia24 puts Day 16 at ₹5.30 crore net, taking its India total to ₹340.99 crore — close to Sacnilk’s ₹341.10 crore. The two trackers disagree by lakhs, not crores. We use Sacnilk as the primary source.
The Mohanlal stamp of approval
The film got a notable cheer this week. Mohanlal — who headlined the original Malayalam Drishyam series — praised the Hindi version in a video shared by the makers. He said he was “truly impressed with the way they have brought this much-loved journey to a befitting end,” and congratulated director Abhishek Pathak, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay Devgn, and the whole cast and crew.
That endorsement carries weight. The Malayalam originals are beloved, and a public nod from Mohanlal himself settles the remake-versus-original debate for many fans.

What Sunday could bring
Sunday usually beats Saturday for a film with this kind of word of mouth. If the third Sunday follows the pattern, Drishyam 3 could add another ₹6–7 crore and step closer to ₹350 crore India net.
The film stars Ajay Devgn with Jaideep Ahlawat, directed by Abhishek Pathak. Sixteen days in, with Jailer 2 dominating the new-release conversation, the old warhorse is still running its own race — and winning it.
