Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 is recording strong advance-booking activity ahead of its theatrical release, with sales at the two major national cinema chains reportedly crossing 2.40 lakh tickets.
According to trade tracking cited in the supplied report, the film had sold around 2 lakh tickets across PVR INOX and Cinepolis earlier in the day, before adding another significant number of bookings. The report estimates that national-chain sales could cross 3.50 lakh tickets by the end of the day.
Drishyam 3 Advance Booking Crosses 2.40 Lakh Tickets
The film’s opening-day presales are reportedly gathering momentum across several key markets.
The combined advance from PVR INOX and Cinepolis had reached approximately 2.40 lakh tickets at the time of the report. The previous day reportedly saw around 70,000 tickets sold across the two chains, indicating an increase in booking activity.
The overall first-day advance was estimated at around Rs. 12 crore nett at that stage, with more than two-thirds of the reported amount coming from the two national chains.
These figures are trade estimates based on advance sales and tracking data, rather than final box-office collections.
Maharashtra, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru Lead Advance Sales
The strongest advance activity is reportedly coming from Maharashtra, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru.
Maharashtra has traditionally been an important market for the Drishyam franchise, and the current advance-booking figures are reflecting strong interest in the region.
Moviemax, a mini-national chain with a significant presence across urban Maharashtra, has reportedly sold more than 13,000 tickets. According to the supplied trade report, this figure had already placed the chain among its top ten advance-booking performances, with further movement expected as sales continue.
Can Drishyam 3 Cross Rs. 50 Crore on Day One?
Trade estimates cited in the report suggest that Drishyam 3 could record a first-day advance of approximately Rs. 22-23 crore nett once the full day’s presales are accounted for.
The report compares that projected advance level with films such as Pathaan, Animal and War, each of which recorded opening-day collections above the Rs. 50 crore nett mark.
However, advance bookings do not directly translate into final first-day collections. Walk-in audiences, additional shows, ticket pricing, occupancy and the film’s performance across individual markets will determine the actual opening-day figure.
The supplied report also cites Pinkvilla Predicts, which had projected an opening range of Rs. 48-56 crore nett, with a midpoint estimate of Rs. 53 crore nett.
That figure remains a forecast rather than a confirmed collection.
Overseas Advance Booking Also Reportedly Strong
The film is also said to be recording healthy advance sales in overseas markets.
The trade report estimates that Drishyam 3 could approach USD 2 million in first-day overseas collections and potentially cross USD 5 million over its opening weekend.
These figures are projections based on advance trends and market tracking and should not be treated as final overseas box-office results.
Drishyam 3 Box Office Expectations
With advance bookings continuing ahead of release, Drishyam 3 is entering its theatrical run amid significant trade attention.
The film’s actual opening will depend on factors including the number of shows, occupancy, ticket pricing, regional performance and audience response after release.
For now, the available figures indicate substantial advance-booking activity, particularly across major national cinema chains and key urban markets.
