Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam franchise looks set for another major box office chapter. With just two days left for release on October 2, Drishyam The Conclusion has already built serious momentum in advance bookings, selling around 1.15 lakh tickets across the top national chains. The pre-release trend has now pushed the film into the league of the year’s strongest openers, with trade expectations currently circling a Rs 58 crore nett start in India.
Advance Booking Gains Serious Speed
As of 7 PM on Tuesday, September 29, the Abhishek Pathak directorial had sold about 1,15,000 opening-day tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis. Of that total, roughly 91,000 admissions came from PVR INOX, while Cinepolis contributed close to 24,000 tickets.
The pace is significant because the film still has two full days left before release. With final-hour bookings typically accelerating sharply for a mainstream Hindi thriller fronted by a major star, Drishyam The Conclusion is now in position to post one of 2026’s biggest advance booking totals in the national chains.
The October 2 holiday is also boosting its opening-day prospects, giving the film an extra push at the ticket window and widening its family audience appeal.
Rs 58 Crore Opening Now In Sight
Current projections place the film’s India opening day at around Rs 58 crore nett, a huge start for a suspense thriller. If the current booking rhythm holds through the final countdown, the number has room to climb even higher.
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the film is also recording strong traction in overseas markets, where it is positioned to deliver Ajay Devgn’s best international start so far. That combination of domestic urgency and overseas pull has turned Drishyam The Conclusion into one of the most closely watched releases of the festive period.
