'Drishyam 3: The Conclusion' box office collection week 2: Ajay Devgn's film eyes ₹350 crore in India, Rajinikanth's 'Jailer 2' dents its run

Drishyam 3 box office: Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, the crime thriller starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu in significant roles, refuses to slow down even in its second week as it edges closer to the ₹350 crore mark at the Indian box office.

But here's the twist. The film's collections have slowed sharply in the second week, dropping over 40% from opening-week highs, and a new challenger has entered the ring: Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. Can Devgn’s slow-burn thriller hold off the Superstar’s mass entertainer, or will week three see a dramatic shift at the ticket counters?

With Tabu, Shriya Saran and Jaideep Ahlawat anchoring the drama on screen, the box office battle playing out behind it might be just as gripping. Here’s everything happening with Drishyam 3’s week 2 numbers.
