EXCLUSIVE: CBFC clears Drishyam The Conclusion WITHOUT a single cut; is 8 minutes longer than Drishyam 2

The film runs 150 minutes and is the second Drishyam franchise title to receive a U/A 16+ certificate with zero cuts.

  • On Friday, October 2, 2026, the final chapter of the Drishyam franchise, "Drishyam: The Conclusion," opened in theatres. Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Vijay Salgaonkar, marking the end of the suspense thriller trilogy.
  • Director Abhishek Pathak helms the film, which deviates from the Malayalam version of the series. Producers chose to end the story here because "it is very difficult to write a Drishyam," Devgn said.
  • Strong advance bookings preceded the release, with over 1.3 million tickets sold generating more than Rs 49 crore. The film collected Rs 66.75 crore net in India on its opening day.
  • Returning cast members Tabu, Shriya Saran, and Rajat Kapoor join Devgn, while Jaideep Ahlawat and Prakash Raj enter in new roles. Critics noted strong performances, though some remarked on pacing issues.
  • Eyeing the Rs 200 crore mark, the strong theatrical run demonstrates continued audience investment in the franchise. The conclusion wraps up the Salgaonkar family's story after 11 years of narrative tension.
