Drishyam 3 Inches Closer to ₹200 Crore as Rivals Falter on Monday

Mumbai: Monday’s collections dipped across most releases, but Ajay Devgn’s suspense‑drama Drishyam 3 held firm at the summit. The film pulled in roughly ₹21 crore on its first Monday, nudging its Indian net earnings to approximately ₹197.54 crore.

Drishyam 3 remains the clear front‑runner

The movie opened on 2 October under the helm of Abhishek Pathak, racking up ₹62 crore on day one, ₹53.5 crore on Saturday and ₹61 crore on Sunday. The robust weekend haul left it just a few crores shy of the coveted ₹200‑crore benchmark. With three straight days crossing the ₹50‑crore line, it continues to outpace every other current title. Featuring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Jaideep Ahlawat, its net tally now stands at about ₹197.54 crore.

The Vvan slides below the ₹1 crore mark

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvan enjoyed a respectable weekend, but the momentum evaporated with the workweek. After a Sunday haul of ₹3.25 crore, Monday’s take fell to ₹95 lakh on its eleventh day, leaving the film’s Indian net at roughly ₹63.05 crore.

Hanuman Ansh sees a steep Monday dip

The two‑month‑old Hanuman Ansh continues to add to its impressive total, yet daily earnings have plummeted. Sunday’s collection was ₹3 crore, while Monday slipped to about ₹75 lakh. Despite the drop, the movie’s Indian net now hovers near ₹325.48 crore.

Prem Keetanu struggles to find footing

Among the newer arrivals, Prem Keetanu has delivered a modest performance. It opened with ₹50 lakh on Friday, followed by ₹35 lakh on Saturday and ₹28 lakh on Sunday. Monday’s earnings were a meagre ₹10 lakh, leaving its four‑day total at a low level. The cast includes Veer Pahariya, Afiya Syed and Aparshakti Khurana.

Overall box‑office outlook

The latest figures widen the chasm between the leader and the rest of the slate. While Drishyam 3 edges ever closer to the ₹200‑crore milestone, both The Vvan and Hanuman Ansh suffered pronounced Monday declines. As weekday revenues become the decisive gauge, the coming days will reveal whether these titles can sustain their theatrical momentum.
