Drishyam 3 has emerged as the fourth highest weekend of all time but it will it will be number three on fair value as Drishyam 3 is clean in terms of feeding while Jawan is not so in real value its actually number three while on paper it becomes number four. The film missed the 175 crore nett mark by a small margin as it collected 172.50 crore nett.

The biggest achievement for the film is that its up there with the all the big budget films and the only films on the list below with a lower budget would be Gadar 2 and Stree 2 but there the former had action and the latter had music / horror while Drishyam 3 has no such commercial ingredients. Also the reason why the budget of Drishyam 3 goes higher than these two is you have to factor in the remuneration of Ajay Devgn. On production costs  alone it would similar to Gadar 2 and less than Stree 2.

Dhurandhar 2 leads the charts with a phenomenal 245 crore nett and will take some beating. The next biggie Ramayan is a pre Diwali release so it makes it tough for that as it likely the better business will come when festivities are over. Unless it takes you back to older times like Mard in 1985 when pre Diwali is 100% and post Diwali is also 100% but cinema had a different level of craze in those days. The top ten opening weekends for Hindi films in history are as follows.

1. Dhurandhar 2 - 245 crore
