Drishyam The Conclusion Day 3 Advance Booking: 4.12 Lakh+ Tickets Sold In National Chains, ₹63 Crore+ Sunday In Sight; ₹175 Crore+ Weekend On Cards
Drishyam The Conclusion is showing simply phenomenal advance booking momentum for its third day, with the film refusing to slow down even after an earth-shattering opening and an exceptionally strong Saturday. The Ajay Devgn starrer has now sold more than 4.12 lakh tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis for Sunday, with the latest count recorded around 10:30 PM on Saturday.
The Sunday advance is particularly remarkable because the film has already delivered two huge days at the box office. After opening at ₹62 crore on Day 1, the film has maintained an exceptional hold on Saturday, with Day 2 tracking around the ₹52–53 crore mark. The fact that Sunday advance has already crossed the 4 lakh-ticket mark in national chains indicates that the demand is not only sustaining but building strongly towards the final day of the opening weekend. Current trade tracking is also pointing towards the film potentially matching its first-day business on Sunday, which would take the weekend towards the ₹175 crore range.
4.12 Lakh+ Tickets Sold For Sunday
The latest national-chain numbers have taken the Sunday advance to 4.12 lakh+ tickets, and the bookings are still continuing.
This is an extraordinary level of advance for the third day of a film that has already opened at ₹62 crore. Usually, a film begins to see some moderation in advance momentum as the opening weekend progresses. Drishyam The Conclusion is currently showing the opposite trend, with Sunday bookings once again moving at a remarkable pace.
The national chains are particularly important here because they provide a strong indication of demand in the major urban markets. With the wider market also expected to contribute substantially through walk-ins, the Sunday business has the potential to become another major day for the film.
Independent live-tracking data is also showing Drishyam The Conclusion leading the Sunday advance by a substantial margin, with strong booking activity across thousands of shows.
Sunday Could Challenge The ₹62 Crore Day 1
The biggest talking point heading into Sunday is whether the film can come close to its opening-day number.
Drishyam The Conclusion started its theatrical run with ₹62 crore on Friday, followed by an exceptionally strong Saturday estimated around ₹52–53 crore. If Sunday sees the expected weekend growth, the film could once again move into the ₹60 crore+ territory.
A ₹60 crore-plus Sunday would be a phenomenal result considering the film has already delivered two major days. It would also take the opening weekend comfortably beyond the ₹170 crore mark.
The current advance indicates that the audience demand is strong enough to challenge the Day 1 level, although the final collection will ultimately depend on Sunday occupancy, walk-ins and the performance of the evening shows.
₹175 Crore+ Weekend Now On The Cards
With Day 1 at ₹62 crore and Day 2 expected to finish around ₹52–53 crore, the film is already sitting around the ₹114–115 crore mark after two days.
A ₹60 crore-plus Sunday would take the opening weekend beyond ₹174 crore, putting the ₹175 crore+ mark firmly on the cards.
That is the target the trade will be watching closely on Sunday. If the film manages to match or even slightly exceed its Day 1 business, the opening weekend could move towards the upper end of the current expectations.
The remarkable part is that the film has maintained such a high level of demand despite the enormous opening it recorded on Friday.
The Saturday Hold Has Set Up Sunday Perfectly
The Day 2 performance has played a crucial role in creating this situation.
After ₹62 crore on Friday, the film was expected to experience some level of correction on Saturday. Instead, early trade estimates have the film holding exceptionally strongly in the ₹52–53 crore range. Pinkvilla's Saturday tracking also described the hold as outstanding, with the film targeting ₹52–53 crore depending on the performance of the late-night shows.
This strong hold has changed the weekend equation.
Had Saturday witnessed a sharp fall, the Sunday advance would have carried less significance. Instead, the film has remained at blockbuster levels, giving audiences another reason to come out on Sunday.
The result is an advance curve that continues to look extremely healthy.
Demand Remains Strong Across Major Markets
The Sunday booking trend is not restricted to one or two metropolitan centres. The film is seeing strong demand across several major markets, with multiplex-heavy cities once again contributing substantially to the advance.
The strong pre-release demand had already created capacity pressure in several centres, and the post-release response has only increased the requirement for additional shows wherever capacity is available.
This becomes particularly important on Sunday, when family audiences and casual moviegoers also contribute significantly to the box office. With the film receiving strong audience response, the walk-in component could provide another major boost over and above the already substantial advance.
Positive Word Of Mouth Continues To Work
The extraordinary Sunday advance is also a reflection of the film's response after release.
Drishyam The Conclusion has received strong reactions for Ajay Devgn's performance as Vijay Salgaonkar, the screenplay, the Ajay Devgn–Jaideep Ahlawat confrontation and the final act. The positive response has helped the film maintain momentum beyond the audience that had already booked tickets before release.
That is arguably the most important development of the weekend.
The film was always expected to open strongly because of the Drishyam brand and Gandhi Jayanti holiday. Sustaining ₹50 crore-plus business on Saturday and then generating another massive Sunday advance suggests that the audience response is helping convert the opening into a genuine weekend phenomenon.
₹175 Crore+ Weekend Could Be The Next Milestone
The mathematics are now straightforward.
With approximately ₹62 crore on Day 1 and around ₹52–53 crore expected on Day 2, the film should enter Sunday with roughly ₹114–115 crore in the bank.
If Sunday manages ₹60 crore or more, Drishyam The Conclusion will cross the ₹174–175 crore range for its opening weekend. A stronger Sunday could push the weekend even higher.
The advance gives the film a very strong foundation, but the final number will still depend on how the Sunday shows perform throughout the day.
For now, however, the signs are extremely encouraging.
Blockbuster On Arrival Now Chasing A Massive Weekend
Drishyam The Conclusion has already established itself as a blockbuster on arrival, but the third day could take the film's opening weekend to another level.
The film has delivered ₹62 crore on Day 1, followed it with an exceptional Saturday hold and has now sold 4.12 lakh+ tickets in national chains for Sunday by 10:30 PM.
That is an extraordinary advance for Day 3.
The immediate target is now clear: ₹60 crore+ on Sunday and ₹175 crore+ for the opening weekend.
If the film manages to challenge its ₹62 crore Day 1 number on Sunday, Drishyam The Conclusion will complete an extraordinary opening weekend and further cement the theatrical strength of the Drishyam brand.
Vijay Salgaonkar's final chapter is proving to be far bigger than a routine franchise finale. It has become a full-fledged box-office event.
