Ajay Devgn’s eagerly awaited family thriller, Drishyam 3, is set to hit theaters on October 2, 2026. This release date holds special significance for fans of the franchise, making it a much-anticipated moment for many.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film is produced by Panorama Studios and Viacom18, marking a strong partnership set to create one of the year’s biggest events. Both Pathak and lead actor-producer Ajay Devgn consider this project a top priority, highlighting its importance in their careers.
With the success of the previous installments, expectations are understandably high. The original Drishyam (2015) showcased the gripping tale of Vijay Salgaonkar, a regular person who skillfully safeguards his family following a shocking incident involving a police officer’s son. This film resonated with audiences and gained a significant following, especially after its release on streaming platforms, with the memorable "pav bhaji on October 2" scene becoming part of popular culture.
Drishyam 2 (2022) continued the story, adding new twists and featuring Akshaye Khanna in a notable role. It opened strongly at the box office, reinforcing the series’ growing legacy.
Choosing October 2 for the third installment is a clever move, as it connects deeply with fans. With much of the original cast expected to return, and the suspense levels set to soar, Drishyam 3 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated thrillers of 2026.
