Film 'Drishyam: Conclusion' with Ajay Devgn becomes a box office hit, collecting a significant amount on the first day

The long-awaited suspense thriller 'Drishyam 3', starring Ajay Devgn, has been released in cinemas. There is significant enthusiasm among viewers regarding this film.

People who left the screenings on the first day highly rated the plot and tension of the film. Unlike the Malayalam version, the story of 'Drishyam' in Hindi is presented completely differently, with new twists that held the audience's attention until the very end.

Abhishek Patak's film 'Drishyam: Conclusion' is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shreya Saran, and Jaydip Ahalawat star in the lead roles. During his participation in the FICCI Frames 2026 event in Mumbai, Ajay Devgn shared his impressions of the film, stating that after watching it on Tuesday, it surpasses 'Drishyam 2.'

Discussing 'Drishyam: Conclusion,' Ajay Devgn noted that the script structure and the film itself are so good that, in his opinion, it should stop here. He emphasized that his personal view is that this picture is better than the second part, which raises high hopes.

It is worth noting that both 'Drishyam' and 'Drishyam 2' were remakes of films with the same name from Malayalam cinema. The legendary South Indian cinema actor Mohanlal starred in both pictures. However, 'Drishyam: Conclusion' presents a completely new story and is not a remake of the Malayalam 'Drishyam 3.'

During the panel discussion, Ajay mentioned that he wanted to show the film to Mohanlal, but the actor was on vacation. He said: 'I called Lal Sir because I wanted him to watch the film. This time we went completely in a new direction. I thought it would be good if I received some kind of approval from him, so I wanted him to watch the film. He is on vacation. I think he will still watch the film.'

The film 'Drishyam: Conclusion' is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 2, 2026. Viewers who have seen the first part are well aware of the events that took place on October 2.

Preparing for a big theatrical launch, Ajay Devgn's film is showing high figures: according to Sacnilk, pre-sales have already exceeded 250 million rupees.

In contemporary cinema and web series, explicit or intimate scenes have become commonplace; romantic or kissing moments can be found in every second film. Nevertheless, sometimes creators emphasize such scenes so heavily that viewers feel uncomfortable watching them in a family setting.

When excessively explicit scenes are shown on screen, creators and actors often face sharp criticism and trolling from the audience. A prime example is the 2022 film 'Gahrayan,' which featured numerous explicit and intimate scenes between Deepika Padukone and Sindhan Chaturvedi.

After the film's release, the actors were subjected to heavy trolling on social media because many disliked the depiction of extramarital affairs, intimacy, and sexual desire in the movie.

In an interview with 'News18,' directors of 'Lust Stories 3,' Vikramaditya Motwani and Shakun Batra, openly discussed the negative reaction to films and shared their opinion on whether the majority of the Indian audience maintains conservative views.

Director Sachin Batra, commenting on the trolling received by the film for depicting sex and infidelity in 'Gahrayan,' stated that such things are not unprecedented in India. He noted that people can relate to such stories and see themselves in them. However, he added that there is a huge moral burden associated with questions of what is ethical, right, or wrong. In his view, society is not yet ready to change such established perceptions, as concepts of good and evil seem permanently fixed.

On the other hand, filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwani believes the problem lies not with the viewers but with those who consider themselves guardians of public morality. Vikramaditya emphasized that box office results show that no one refuses to watch such material. He called these people 'gatekeepers' who constantly assert that certain content should not or ought not to be watched because it contradicts culture, and they voice many similar remarks.

Overall, he believes that the approach to watching films has changed over the last two decades. The younger generation has become much more open to topics of sex, intimacy, and passion and is less inclined to judge others.

For those unfamiliar, the plot of Motwani's 'Lust Stories 3' is based on the sexual desires of middle-aged married women who decide to exchange their husbands to reintroduce excitement into their dull sexual lives.
