Ajay Devgn's latest film, Drishyam 3, has achieved a strong performance at the Indian box office, wrapping up its first week with a collection of ₹245.50 crore. This puts the crime thriller just shy of the coveted ₹250 crore club, a significant milestone for any Indian film.
Released on October 2, the film is now setting its sights on a larger target: surpassing the lifetime domestic collections of Devgn's 2020 historical drama, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which garnered ₹279.59 crore in India.

Chasing Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior's Legacy
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, directed by Om Raut, was a major success for Ajay Devgn, achieving a domestic gross of ₹325 crore and a worldwide total of ₹361 crore during its extensive theatrical run. Drishyam 3, directed by Abhishek Pathak, has already surpassed Tanhaji's worldwide gross within its first week, but the domestic lifetime record remains a key benchmark.
