At the end of its third Friday, Drishyam 2 has emerged as a blockbuster.

Ajay Devgn’s film has collected around Rs 4-4.25 crore nett on its third Friday, reports Box Office India. The film has crossed the Rs 160 crore mark which is excellent for third Friday. The collections are behind KGF 2 and RRR, but in the same range as The Kashmir Files. Drishyam 2 is likely to do better than Brahmastra over the weekend, the report further stated.

If the film manages to beat Brahamstra, it will become the highest grossing Hindi film post pandemic.

On the other hand, new release of the week An Action Hero collected only Rs 1.25 crore nett as per early estimates.

Speaking to ETimes, Drishyam 2 director Abhishek Pathak had said, “We did expect good feedback but this has gone up by three-four folds I would say. It has gone beyond what we thought, and we love it. Unanimously, everyone has loved it and it’s an awesome feeling for any filmmaker. We’re happy to be crossing the 150 crore mark. Somewhere in Hindi cinema, we were lacking good content that could bring in those numbers. But I’m so overwhelmed that people are going to the theatres to watch ‘Drishyam 2’. It has become like a festival.”
