Drishyam: The Conclusion has scored an excellent first day at the Indian box office. Through evening shows, the thriller threequel looks set to collect Rs. 60 crore nett on Friday. Of course, that depends on how the night shows go, but even if it misses, it will be a hair-thin margin. Having said that, it is more likely to be over Rs. 60 crore than under.
That puts it as the third-highest opening day for a Hindi film, trailing Dhurandhar: The Revenge ( Rs. 75 crore nett / Rs. 115 crore nett including previews) and Jawan (Rs. 64.50 crore nett). How close it ends up getting to Jawan will be known tomorrow morning.
The Ajay Devgn starrer has performed well across the board, with the metro centres like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Pune and Bengaluru being outperformers. Maharashtra leads among the states, where the film has traditionally performed the best. The first-day number in the state will be only about 5 per cent short of Dhurandhar: The Revenge versus 20 per cent shortfall nationwide. That is down to lower ticket prices; in admissions, it will likely be ahead. Whenever Ajay Devgn plays a Maratha character (Vijay Salangokar here), the state has always performed superbly. The Hindi circuits all scored very well. Punjab state is relatively on the lower side, but even then, the East Punjab circuit will be seeing a big first day thanks to NCR putting up a huge number.
Drishyam: The Conclusion is a thriller film, which is a genre that hasn’t traditionally done big at the box office. However, what makes Drishyam special is that it has a strong family emotional value, which widens its appeal. It is a well-established brand, and that IP power is on full display. Today being a national holiday is an added advantage, and that is what made this massive opening possible.
The film has also opened strongly overseas, with Australia seeing a big opening day of AUD 285K. This could have easily gone over AUD 400K, but the film fell short of capacity. In the West, North America should see a massive first day of near million dollars. The overall international opening day should be over/under USD 2 million. An opening like this has never happened for Ajay Devgn internationally.
