Ajay Devgn-starrer "Drishyam 2" has raised Rs 21.59 crore on the second day of its release, the makers said on Sunday. The Abhishek Pathak directorial, which opened to positive response from critics and audiences at the domestic box office, had collected Rs 15.38 crore on Friday.
According to production banner Panorama Studios, the total earnings of "Drishyam 2" now stand at Rs 36.97 crore.
"Dil aur dimaag ke beech humari suniye aur jaiye Drishyam 2 dekhne! Day 2 collection – crosses INR 36.97 crores. Book your tickets now! #Drishyam2 now in cinemas near you (sic)," the production house said in a tweet.
The film is a sequel to Devgn’s 2015 crime thriller "Drishyam", which was the Hindi remake of the Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam movie of the same name. The sequel to the Malayalam film released in February 2021.
Although Drishyam 2 starts with a parallel incident that happened on the same night when Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn) buried the teen’s body at the under-construction Pondolem police station in 2014, it is set in the present.
Vijay is now a wealthy man. Along with his cable business, he now also owns a theatre and is producing a film. Despite the constant chatter around him and the furtive glances, he remains unfazed, nonplussed as if the incidents on the intervening night of October 2-3 never happened.
"Drishyam 2" also stars Shriya Saran, Tabu, Rajat Kapoor, and Ishita Dutta and Akshaye Khanna.
It is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and Krishan Kumar. The film is presented by Viacom18 Studios, T-Series and Panorama Studios.
