Drishyam 3 Crosses $5 Million in North America, the Second-Biggest Bollywood Grosser of 2026 There, Behind Dhurandhar 2, but the All-Time Top 10 Is a Long Way Off

Drishyam 3 has grossed $5.04 million in North America, behind only Dhurandhar 2 among 2026 Bollywood films, and would need another $3.15 to $3.56 million to enter the all-time top 10.

Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has crossed $5 million at the North American box office, with a cumulative gross of $5.04 million, according to Sacnilk and Koimoi. That makes it the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2026 in the region, behind Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, according to the same reports.

The film collected about $515,000 on Saturday, 10 October, according to the reports, which is about 10 per cent of the cumulative total, a share that IndiaX24 has calculated from $515,000 and $5.04 million. A single Saturday being a tenth of the total suggests that the film still draws steady audiences in its second weekend, although the reports reviewed do not give the weekday figures or the number of screens.

The all-time chart is the next target. Sacnilk says that the tenth-place benchmark is $8.19 million, held by Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and that Drishyam 3 would need $3.15 million more. Koimoi puts the tenth-place figure at $8.60 million, which would mean that the film needs $3.56 million more. The two reports differ on the benchmark by $0.41 million, and IndiaX24 cannot say which is correct.

The top three all-time Bollywood grossers in North America are Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge at $28.60 million, Dhurandhar at $20.65 million and Pathaan at $17.49 million, according to Sacnilk. Drishyam 3’s total is about 18 per cent of the leader’s, a ratio that IndiaX24 has calculated.

Sacnilk says analysts see realistic prospects for the film to enter the all-time top 10, because there are no major competing releases this month and it could stay in theatres longer. That is an outlook and not a result. At the current rate of about $515,000 on a peak day, reaching another $3.15 million would take many more days, but the film’s daily collections will fall, and the reports reviewed do not give a forecast.

The North American figure is a small part of the film’s total. Drishyam 3 crossed Rs 500 crore worldwide on its 12th day, with Rs 114 crore from overseas markets, as IndiaX24 has reported. The reports reviewed do not give an exchange rate, so IndiaX24 does not convert the dollar figure into rupees to compare it with the Rs 114 crore overseas gross.

Ajay Devgn is the film’s lead, and IndiaX24 has covered his first Rs 500 crore worldwide film in a separate article.

The latest daily figure helps to show the pace. The $515,000 of Saturday, 10 October, is a larger number than the $5.04 million total divided by the number of days the film has been in theatres would suggest for a late day, but the reports reviewed do not give the release date in North America, so the film’s average daily gross cannot be calculated.

The comparison with other films in the region helps. The tenth-placed film is Bajrangi Bhaijaan, according to Sacnilk, which was released in 2015, a fact from general background. Drishyam 3 would therefore be displacing a film that has held its place for more than a decade. The reports reviewed do not list the other films in the top 10.

IndiaX24 will report on the film’s progress in North America.
