Drishyam The Conclusion has finished its first weekend with a fantastic Rs 174.50 crore India net collection. The film collected Rs 62 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 52 crore on Saturday and an impressive Rs 60.50 crore on Sunday.
The Sunday performance is particularly impressive. After registering Rs 62 crore on the opening day, the film dipped to Rs 52 crore on Saturday, but bounced back strongly on Sunday. The Rs 60.50 crore Sunday collection shows that the film benefited from the weekend audience rush and strong word of mouth.

| Day 3 – Sunday | Rs 60.50 crore | Rs 71.39 crore |
| Weekend 1 Total | Rs 174.50 crore | Rs 205.91 crore |
The three-day trend also indicates that Drishyam The Conclusion is not relying only on the initial franchise hype. A film can open strongly because of advance bookings and fan interest, but sustaining those numbers through the weekend requires genuine audience support.

| Day 1 – Friday | 15,759 | 60.1% |
| Day 2 – Saturday | 16,868 | 48.1% |

The film recorded an overall occupancy of 60.1% on Day 1, followed by 48.1% on Day 2 and a strong 56% on Day 3. The Sunday recovery in occupancy is another positive sign for the film as it enters the crucial weekdays.
The show count also remained substantial throughout the weekend. Drishyam The Conclusion had 15,759 shows on Day 1, increasing to 16,868 shows on Day 2 and further to 17,323 shows on Day 3.
