The Abhishek Pathak directorial, released two weeks ago, is smashing the box office records and seems to never have a bad moment at the box office. Even after the release of Bhediya, the audience preferred to watch the Ajay Devgn starrer.

Devgn's crime thriller collected at number two in the second weekend, earning 17.32 crore* on Sunday and 14 crore* on Saturday. Needless to say, the movie is still attracting a lot of viewers and the current collection is 143 crores.

While Drishyam 2 continues to be a favorite among moviegoers, the movie has grossed around 5-7 crores as per the original schedule. This is the expected drop after the weekend. This means that the total will reach 148-155 crore, thus opening the doors of the Rs 200 crore club.

The Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran starrer has broken many records at a time when many Bollywood biggies are struggling to make money. The film topped the opening weekend collections of blockbuster Bollywood films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Gangubai Kathiawadi and The Kashmir Files. For the uninitiated, the film collected 15.38 crore at a time when many experts believed that the film could open around 10-12 crore.

Drishyam 2 is also likely to be one of the highest grossing Hindi films of 2022. It is worth noting that the film has ended the box office shortage from the fall in Bollywood, and is also the star of Ajay Devgn this year. His previous films Thank God and Runway 34 did not do well at the box office.

Besides Devgn, Abhishek Pathak's film also stars Shriya Saran, Tabu, Akshaye Khanna, Ishita Dutta and Rajat Kapoor. The film is the sequel to the 2015 release by National Award-winning director Nishikant Kamat.
