These days, the box office figures are quite shocking in the Indian cinema world, where on one hand the films full of suspense and thrill are winning the hearts of the audience, while on the other hand, spiritual and mythological drama films are also being known for playing their long and strong innings in theatres. Veteran Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan's much-awaited suspense thriller film 'Drishyam 3' has broken many big and old box office records with its release. This film has achieved a new milestone in terms of earnings by leaving behind the recent blockbuster film 'Hanuman Ansh', while on the other hand, even after so many weeks, the audience's craze towards projects on the lines of 'Hanuman Ansh' or films related to Neem Karoli Baba is not showing any signs of diminishing.
The tsunami that 'Drishyam 3', starring veteran actors like Ajay Devgan, Tabu, Zayed Khan and Prakash Raj, has brought at the box office as soon as it entered the theatres, has surprised even trade analysts. The story of the film, Vijay Salgaonkar's old trick and this time's new complications have been completely successful in drawing the audience to the theatres. This film, which has been garnering huge collections in the initial weeks itself, has set a flag not only in India but also at the Worldwide Box Office. On the basis of its excellent pace, the film has not only secured its place among the biggest films of the year 2026, but it has also become the highest grossing film of Ajay Devgan's film career so far.
On one hand, the newly released films are creating havoc at the box office, on the other hand, 'Hanuman Ansh', which was released in theaters months ago, has proved that if the content is strong, then the film can last for a long time. Even after so many weeks of the film's release, the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished and its earning figures are being recorded quite well even on weekdays. According to reports, despite traveling a long distance since its release, the film has maintained a strong hold at the box office and has continued to do business worth crores. The success of these types of films shows that Indian audiences are no longer just focused on opening weekend figures, but are interested in watching family and culturally connected stories in theaters for a longer period of time.
This current clash in theaters and the war at the box office has made it clear that now the measure of success of any film is not only its first week, but films are taking a huge leap through mouth publicity and strong word of mouth. The speed with which 'Drishyam 3' has increased its collection and made its explosive entry in the club of more than Rs 300 crore, clearly shows that this year has been very great for the viewers of thriller genre. Along with this, the persistence of other films at the box office shows that the market of Indian cinema has now become very big where films of many different genres are succeeding in making their place simultaneously.
