Mumbai, November 20 - Drishyam 2, which had a bumper collection on the first two days, scores further big growth on the third day of its box office run. Yesterday, the film witnessed approx 40% growth compared to the first day while today it is in the range of 25% which is again an excellent number.## The first Sunday's early estimates collection suggests approx. 27 crores net. The first Sunday collections will take the entire collection of Drishyam 2 to over 63 crores net depending on the final official figures which will be known in the morning. The first three days' collections are huge for the Ajay Devgan starrer as the expectations were below 50 crores net mark but the film has surpassed that figure by a big margin. ## Drishyam 2 will be the third highest weekend of Ajay Devgn after "Golmaal Again" and "Singham Returns" both of which were national holiday-released films in pre-pandemic times. The first weekend collections have ensured that "Drishyam 2" is a hit but there is a difference between a hit and a major hit film and that Drishyam 2 has to prove from here on. The multiplexes continue to drive the film while single screens also contributed today better than all previous days.## The hold on Monday is going to be very important for the film and if the film manages to stay in double digits or close to it then the film will be a big grosser. Ideally, the film should target 85-90cr first week of business from here on which is not very tough looking at the audience appreciation. The film is also doing very fine business overseas as these type of thrillers does find some audience overseas.## Overall it's been a fantastic last two weeks at the box office with Uunchai and Drishyam2 and the hope is that Bhediya should continue the momentum from the next week onwards. The happy days are back at the box office and after some time the box office will explode with mega-event films starring mega stars from next year.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, November 19 - Drishyam 2, which provided a huge boost to the Hindi film industry on its opening day by clocking more than 15 crore net collections, has seen extraordinary growth on the second day. The growth was always expected due to the positive reports but such huge growth was not expected, which is in the range of 40-45% and it's not that the opening was low. ## If we compare the growth in the three main chains PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, then the film has shown a growth of 57% compared to the first day. Saturdays are the best days in the multiplexes despite that the jump is huge. The good thing is that the film is doing good business even on the single screens thanks to the face value of Ajay Devgan and the recall value of the first Drishyam film as the first part was a huge hit on satellite. ## The early estimate collections on the first Saturday/second day suggest approx. 21.25 crores net. The second day business of the film will take its entire business to over 36.50 cr. net mark. The film is set to see another big jump on Sunday due to a national holiday. It will look to target 25cr Sunday which is not much of an ask as reports are fantastic. The weekend should be in the range of 55-60cr and if the film archives it then it will be a rare film that will attain a hit tag within the first weekend only.## "Drishyam 2" continues to see huge footfalls in Mumbai and Gujarat while mass-dominated circuits like Rajasthan, Bihar, and Central India are doing decent business and they will get going from tomorrow onwards. Surprisingly, the film has also managed to put up a good number in overseas territories which is not the case with most Ajay Devgan starrers. Overall the performance of Drishyam2 can be considered the best of 2022 as the film is devoid of any paddings such as a huge budget, hit music, heavy promotion, etc. The business is coming due to the strength of content.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, November 19 - Ajay Devgn-fronted Drishyam 2 has taken an excellent start at the domestic box office, scoring 15.38 crores net on the opening.

It has outdone Akshay Kumar's "Ram Setu", which scored 15.20 crores net last month to become the second biggest opener in 2022, behind only "Brahmastra Part 1 - Shiva's" Hindi collection of 32 crores net.## Top 5 Bollywood openers post-pandemic (Only Hindi/Net) - ## 1. Brahmastra (2022) - 32 Crores## 2. Sooryavanshi (2021) - 26.11 Crores## 3. Drishyam 2 (2022) - 15.38 Crores## 4. Ram Setu (2022) - 15.20 Crores## 5. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) - 14.11 Crores## "Drishyam" also beat "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior" opening day numbers of 15 crores net, becoming the 4th biggest opener in Ajay Devgn's career, after "Singham Returns" (32.10 crores), "Golmaal Again" (30.14 crores), and "Total Dhamaal" (16.50 crores).## Directed by Abhishek Pathak, "Drishyam 2's" advance booking for the rest of the weekend is solid as it is looking to score a super solid weekend with over 55 crores net in three days.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, November 18 - The big movie of the day, "Drishyam 2" starring Ajay Devgan has been released in theaters today. The film is a sequel to Drishyam which was released in 2015 and did very well at the box office. But more than the box office, its run on satellite has made the film into a cult film with excellent impressions. There was a brand value and then the trailer of the film received immensely positive feedback from its target audience, all this coupled with an excellent start at the box office which is very rare for Hindi films post the pandemic.## The film has been released on over 3300 screens making it one of the biggest releases ever of Ajay Devgan in terms of size. The film started with an average morning occupancy of around 20% which is much better than most of the films released so far in 2022. The morning start was comparable to "Ram Setu" which is the second biggest opener post-pandemic for Hindi films.## The opening day early estimates of "Drishyam 2" suggest around 15 crores net box office mark which is a very good first-day collection for a thriller movie in the post-pandemic times. There were expectations of a double-digit opening and Drishyam 2 has surpassed all expectations by a huge margin. There are chances of it topping "Ram Setu's" opening of 15.20 crores net if single screens perform very well. The opening will also be the fourth or fifth highest ever of Ajay Devgan after Singham 2, Golmaal Again, Total Dhamaal, and Tanhaji. Both Singham 2 and Golmaal Again were national holiday releases so this makes Drishyam2 his second or third biggest non-holiday opener.## The collections of Drishyam2 are being driven by Mumbai and Gujarat circuits which was expected as the first part of the film did excellent business in these circuits and the film also gives a vibe of a regional Maharashtra film. The other circuits are doing average business but they are better than most big films of this year barring Brahmastra and Bhool Bhulaiya2. ## The best thing about Drishyam2 is that the reports are excellent so it has a bright chance of scoring huge first-weekend collections. The film is expected to see good growth tomorrow. The mass centers will come into the picture on Sunday. Even if the film remains flat then also it has a chance of hitting 50cr weekend. Overall Drishyam 2 has given the industry a much-needed boost which can be called the biggest success post-pandemic but the job has to be done to get that tag.## Stay tuned...
