The best ending for Drishyam is NO Drishyam 4. Why Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Pathak are RIGHT to end the blockbuster franchise
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
The phenomenal success of Drishyam The Conclusion has once again demonstrated the extraordinary popularity of Ajay Devgn's Vijay Salgaonkar. Rolled out on October 2, the suspense thriller has emerged as one of the biggest Bollywood successes of 2026, crossing the Rs. 500 crore rupees mark at the worldwide ticket-window. At a time when even star-studded entertainers are struggling to justify their budgets, Drishyam The Conclusion has proved that an engaging story, memorable characters and clever writing can still bring audiences to cinemas in huge numbers.
Adding to this, Going by conventional Bollywood logic, this should be the perfect opportunity to announce Drishyam 4 . After all, why would any producer willingly discontinue a franchise capable of generating hundreds of crores?
Meanwhile, Yet, director Abhishek Pathak has made it clear that the journey of Vijay Salgaonkar has reached its destination and that there are no plans for another instalment. It is a decision that deserves to be celebrated, not questioned. Because, sometimes, the smartest decision a filmmaker can make is to walk away from a goldmine. The Rs. 500 crore rupees temptation
Notably, Let's face it. If Drishyam 4 were revealed tomorrow, the trade would undoubtedly sit up and take notice. The combination of Ajay Devgn, Vijay Salgaonkar, October 2 and the promise of another mind-bending climax would be sufficient to generate enormous curiosity.
As per the latest buzz, The producers already have something that filmmakers spend years trying to create: an established franchise with tremendous audience goodwill.
In further updates, The first Drishyam (2015) gradually acquired a cult following, while Drishyam 2 (2022) emerged as a major theatrical success at a time when the Hindi movie industry desperately needed reassurance that audiences were willing to return to cinemas. Drishyam The Conclusion has taken the franchise's commercial potential to an entirely different level.
On top of that, Therefore, commercially speaking, making another instalment might appear to be a no-brainer.
But cinema cannot always be reduced to a balance sheet. There is a difference between a movie making money because it has a compelling story and a movie being made simply because there is money to be collected.
