Just last week on Friday, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2013 release Drishyam was released across 4150 screens domestically. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Akshaye Khanna and Shreya Saran – who brought together an all-star cast in this thriller crime drama! After drawing in Rs. 15.38 cr on its first day due to high anticipation and expecations being met, business grew even stronger Day 2 with Rs. 21.59 cr coming in despite competition from other films playing at the same time around India (a love story Befikre; dangal; a comedy Mubarakpurwaala) . Now on its third day running, there was over 76% growth from Day 1 with Rs. 27.17 cr collected just so far!
In this article, we look at the first-weekend earnings for Drishyam 2, while considering how it compares to Ajay Devgn’s past records. With a collection of Rs. 64.14 crores Drishyam 2 was able to become one of Devgn’s top four earners in opening-weekend revenue (following behind Golmaal Again which collected Rs. 87.60 crore, Singham Returns which collected Rs. 77.69 crore, and Son of Sardaar which had earned Rs. 66.02 crores). On the other hand, its business also manages to outperform some of his previous releases including Total Dhamaal ($2 million), Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior ($1 million), Baadshaho ($0), Bol Bachchan ($0) and Gangubai Kathiawadi ($0).
Currently, Drishyam 2 continues to enjoy the audiences’ favor, and is certain to see further growth over its first week. In fact, going by trade predictions and considering the positive trend the business of the film has been enjoying it is highly possible that by the end of its first week, Drishyam 2 could reach near the Rs. 100 cr mark.
