Drishyam 3 crosses Rs 300 crore worldwide as Ajay Devgn's thriller ends week one

Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3: The Conclusion has crossed Rs 300 crore at the worldwide box office, wrapping up its first week in theatres on a strong note.

In India, the first week closed at Rs 245.50 crore net, reports say. Tracking platforms differ on the exact totals, so the worldwide figure changes from one estimate to the next.

The second weekend is now underway. How well the film holds through it, and through the weekdays after, will decide how far this run goes.

Abhishek Pathak directs the third instalment, which brings Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar. Tabu returns opposite him, and Shriya Saran, Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj complete the main cast. The story picks up the family's fight to keep its long-buried secret hidden.
