The wait for one of Indian cinema’s most gripping suspense sagas is finally nearing its end. On Monday, December 22, 2025, the makers of the franchise officially confirmed that Drishyam 3 will hit theaters on October 2, 2026.
The choice of date is no coincidence; October 2nd—ironically known to fans as “Drishyam Day”—is the very date Vijay Salgaonkar and his family famously traveled to Panjim to attend a satsang, creating the legendary alibi that started it all.
The news was shared via an intense teaser promo featuring the voice of Ajay Devgn as Vijay Salgaonkar. In the clip, Vijay reflects on the nature of truth and his unwavering commitment to his family, concluding with the chilling line: “Aakhri hissa baaki hai” (The final chapter remains). This has led many to believe that the third installment will serve as the grand finale to the series.
While the exact plot is being kept under heavy wraps, here is what we know about the production. The makers have promised a much larger canvas this time. The film is being shot across multiple cities to give the story a more expansive feel.
As with the previous films, this is based on the world created by Jeethu Joseph. Interestingly, reports suggest that the Malayalam version starring Mohanlal has already completed its shoot and is targeting a release in early 2026, meaning Hindi audiences will likely have to wait a few months longer to see how the Salgaonkar version unfolds.
The official statement from the team teases an “unexpected twist” that will rock the Salgaonkar family once again. After two films of outsmarting the law, many are wondering if Vijay’s luck will finally run out or if he has one last masterstroke left.
The Drishyam franchise has set a gold standard for thrillers in India. The first part (2015) was a sleeper hit, while the second (2022) became a massive box-office phenomenon, earning over ₹340 crore worldwide. Fans are particularly excited to see the return of Tabu and Akshaye Khanna, whose intellectual battles with Vijay have been the highlight of the series.
With the tagline “Aakhri Hissa Baaki Hai,” the stakes have never been higher. Is the truth finally going to come out, or will Vijay Salgaonkar bury his secrets forever. To know such latest updates, stay tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
