Drishyam 3 Day 1 Advance Booking: 1.91 Lakh Tickets Sold By Wednesday 11:30 PM; ₹15 Crore+ Advance Already Done, 3.5L+ In Sight
Drishyam 3: The Conclusion is continuing to fire on all cylinders in advance booking, with the Ajay Devgn starrer now reaching approximately 1.91 lakh tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis for Day 1 by Wednesday 11:30 PM.
The film had reached around 1.60 lakh tickets by Wednesday 3 PM and has added another 31,000 tickets in just 8.5 hours, taking the total to a massive 1,91,000 tickets.
The latest split stands at:
- PVR INOX – 1,51,300
- Cinepolis – 39,700
- Total – 1,91,000
And the most important point is that several centres are still facing capacity issues, with the full advance yet to open across multiple locations.
The film is therefore continuing to build momentum even before the entire show inventory becomes available.

| Wednesday 10 AM | ~1,35,000 |
| Wednesday 3 PM | ~1,60,000 |
| Wednesday 11:30 PM | ~1,91,000 |
The trajectory now stands at:
7K → 23K → 44K → 58K → 76.9K → 92.1K → 1.17L → 1.35L → 1.60L → 1.91L
This is now shaping up as a massive national-chain advance run.
1.91 Lakh Tickets By 11:30 PM — And Full Capacity Isn't Even Open Yet
The latest movement is particularly significant.
Drishyam 3 added approximately 31,000 tickets between Wednesday 3 PM and 11:30 PM, taking the national-chain tally from 1.60 lakh to 1.91 lakh.
What makes the number even more notable is that several centres are still facing capacity constraints, meaning the complete advance inventory has not yet opened everywhere.
As additional shows and seats become available, the film has another opportunity to push the numbers significantly higher through Thursday.
The advance is therefore not showing any sign of slowing down as the release approaches.
₹15 Crore+ Advance Already Done
The ticket count is only one part of the story.
The film has already generated approximately ₹15 crore+ worth of Day 1 advance bookings, underlining the scale of the opening-day demand.
With premium ticket pricing and strong occupancy across major urban markets, the value of the advance is building rapidly alongside the ticket count.
The next target is now not simply the number of tickets.
The focus has shifted towards how high the final Day 1 advance value can go before the first show begins.
3.5 Lakh+ Final Advance In Sight
At 1.91 lakh tickets by Wednesday 11:30 PM, Drishyam 3 has already covered a significant distance towards the projected 3.5 lakh+ final national-chain advance.
Thursday will now provide the crucial final push.
With several centres still opening additional capacity, the film has the potential to add a substantial number of tickets before the first shows on October 2.
The current trajectory keeps the 3.5 lakh+ mark firmly in sight.
And if the pace remains strong through Thursday, the final tally could move well beyond the current 1.91 lakh base.
₹25 Crore+ Day 1 Advance Value On The Cards
The bigger talking point now is the potential final advance value.
With ₹15 crore+ already locked through advance bookings, Drishyam 3 is looking to close its Day 1 advance at ₹25 crore+ nett, subject to further show additions, capacity opening and ticket movement.
That would give the film an enormous advance base before Friday even begins.
The combination of strong ticket sales, premium pricing and increasing show availability is creating a powerful setup for the opening day.
PVR INOX Leads The Charge
The latest chain-wise numbers are particularly strong:
PVR INOX – 1.513 lakh tickets
Cinepolis – 39.7K tickets
Total – 1.91 lakh tickets
PVR INOX continues to account for the majority of the national-chain movement, while Cinepolis is also contributing strongly to the overall advance.
With capacity still restricted at some centres, there remains significant room for the numbers to expand further.
Mumbai, Delhi-NCR And Pune Continue To Drive Demand
Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and Pune remain among the key markets driving the advance as audiences prepare for the return of Vijay Salgaonkar.
The franchise factor, Ajay Devgn's popularity and the curiosity around the concluding chapter are translating into strong ticket movement across major centres.
The film is also benefiting from the October 2 holiday release, giving it a major opportunity to convert its advance momentum into strong opening-day occupancy.
From 1.60L To 1.91L In Just 8.5 Hours
The Wednesday progression tells the story.
10 AM – 1.35L
3 PM – 1.60L
11:30 PM – 1.91L
That means the film added:
25K tickets in five hours between 10 AM and 3 PM.
And then another:
31K tickets in 8.5 hours between 3 PM and 11:30 PM.
The momentum has remained extremely strong throughout Wednesday.
Now Thursday becomes the final major advance-booking window before Vijay Salgaonkar returns to cinemas.
The Road To A Massive Opening
With capacity still opening at several centres and the entire Thursday available for advance sales, Drishyam 3 has a significant opportunity to push its numbers higher.
The earlier ₹50 crore+ opening tracking, including the ₹51–53 crore trade range, remains firmly in focus, although the final theatrical opening will depend on occupancy, ticket pricing, show additions, walk-ins and the performance of non-national chains.
For now, the advance itself is doing the talking.
1.91 lakh tickets sold by Wednesday 11:30 PM.
₹15 crore+ advance value already done.
3.5 lakh+ final advance and ₹25 crore+ Day 1 advance value in sight.
Vijay Salgaonkar is coming. And the advance is firing on all cylinders.
