The Ajay Devgn-starring Drishyam 2 had a successful opening week, grossing over Rs. 100 cr. Following a great opening weekend, the movie continued to hold up well during the week, with daily declines of only 10%. Although the genre has its limitations, the sequel factor has helped the movie draw in more viewers than it would have otherwise. Only Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva had a better opening week this year for an outright Hindi picture than Drishyam 2.
On its first Thursday, Drishyam 2 brought in about Rs. 8.60 crores, down only 10% from Wednesday's levels and demonstrating a good trend. Despite the eagerly anticipated release of Bhediya, the strong trend has also ensured that the movie will have solid retention of shows in its second ticketing week. To maintain its trajectory toward a lifetime total of more than Rs. 200 cr net, Drishyam 2 will aim for a second-week domestic number of roughly Rs. 50 cr. The film can surpass The Kashmir Files in lifetime box office revenue, even if becoming the highest-grossing Hindi picture of the year for an outright Hindi film is a difficult feat.
Given that it stars Ajay Devgn, Drishyam 2 is doing very well abroad. The film will try to attain the 5 million dollar mark in its lifetime and find a spot in the top 5 highest overseas grossers of 2022 for an outright Hindi picture. The first week's gross collection from the international circuit is 3 million dollars.
