Mumbai: Monday’s collections dipped across the board, yet Ajay Devgn’s suspense‑drama Drishyam 3 stayed firmly in first place. After a blockbuster opening weekend, the film added roughly ₹21 crore on its first Monday, lifting its Indian net tally to approximately ₹197.54 crore.
Drishyam 3 remains the front‑runner
The film, which premiered on 2 October under the direction of Abhishek Pathak, earned ₹62 crore on Friday, ₹53.5 crore on Saturday and ₹61 crore on Sunday. The robust weekend haul left it just shy of the coveted ₹200‑crore benchmark. With three straight days crossing the ₹50‑crore hurdle, it continues to dominate the current slate. Featuring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Jaideep Ahlawat, the movie’s net collection now stands at about ₹197.54 crore.
The Vvan slips below ₹1 crore
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvan enjoyed a respectable weekend but stumbled as the workweek began. After a Sunday haul of ₹3.25 crore, Monday’s earnings fell to ₹95 lakh on its 11th day, taking the film’s Indian net total to roughly ₹63.05 crore.
Hanuman Ansh registers a sharp Monday dip
The two‑month‑old Hanuman Ansh continues to add to its impressive sum, yet daily receipts have slumped dramatically. Sunday’s collection was ₹3 crore, while Monday dropped to about ₹75 lakh. Despite the fall, the movie’s Indian net now hovers near ₹325.48 crore.
Prem Keetanu struggles for momentum
Among the latest releases, Prem Keetanu has delivered a modest performance. The picture opened with ₹50 lakh on Friday, followed by ₹35 lakh on Saturday and ₹28 lakh on Sunday. Monday’s take was a mere ₹10 lakh, leaving its four‑day total at a modest figure. The cast includes Veer Pahariya, Afiya Syed and Aparshakti Khurana.
Overall box‑office outlook
The fresh numbers highlight an expanding gap between the leader and the rest of the lineup. While Drishyam 3 edges ever closer to the ₹200‑crore milestone, both The Vvan and Hanuman Ansh suffered pronounced Monday slumps. As weekday earnings become the decisive barometer, the coming days will reveal whether these titles can preserve their theatrical momentum.
