Drishyam: The Conclusion Advances with Strong Pre-Bookings and Uncut CBFC Certification
Drishyam: The Conclusion, the third installment of the Hindi crime thriller franchise starring Ajay Devgn, is set for release on October 2, 2026.

The film received a UA 16 certificate from the CBFC without any cuts and runs for 150 minutes. Director Abhishek Pathak aimed to surprise viewers by avoiding predictable fan theories in the climax.
