The trailer of Drishyam: The Conclusion, also known as Drishyam 3, is finally out, bringing Ajay Devgn back as Vijay Salgaonkar. This time, Vijay faces a new and formidable opponent in Jaideep Ahlawat, while Tabu and Prakash Raj add further pressure to the family’s already complicated situation.
Watch the Drishyam: The Conclusion trailer
What does the Drishyam 3 trailer reveal?
The trailer picks up after the events of Drishyam 2, with Vijay Salgaonkar once again trying to protect his family while staying ahead of the investigation.
However, this time the challenge appears much bigger. Jaideep Ahlawat enters the franchise as SP Crime Branch Rajveer Singh Tomar, a police officer determined to uncover the truth surrounding Vijay and his family.
The trailer also brings back Tabu as IG Meera Deshmukh, whose motivation has seemingly shifted from simply seeking justice to wanting revenge for the death of her son Sameer.
Who is Jaideep Ahlawat playing in Drishyam 3?
Jaideep Ahlawat plays SP Crime Branch Rajveer Singh Tomar, a new police officer who becomes one of the biggest threats to Vijay Salgaonkar.
Unlike the investigators Vijay faced previously, Rajveer appears determined to break down the carefully constructed story that has helped Vijay stay ahead of the law. His arrival creates a fresh cat-and-mouse battle at the centre of the film.
Ahlawat's casting has naturally led to comparisons with Akshaye Khanna, who played IG Tarun Ahlawat in Drishyam 2. However, Ahlawat has said that he does not consider himself a replacement for Khanna and views Rajveer as a separate character with his own journey.
What happens to Vijay Salgaonkar and his family?
The trailer suggests that the Salgaonkar family's biggest problem is no longer simply hiding what happened in the past. New evidence appears to be putting pressure on the family, forcing Vijay to think several steps ahead once again.
The central question remains familiar: can Vijay create another believable story before the police uncover the truth?
This time, however, he has to deal with multiple opponents, including Meera Deshmukh, Rajveer Singh Tomar and Prakash Raj's lawyer character.
What role does Prakash Raj play in Drishyam 3?
Prakash Raj joins the film as a lawyer who appears to understand that Vijay should not be underestimated.
His character adds another layer to the investigation, particularly because Vijay's biggest strength has always been his ability to construct an apparently convincing sequence of events. The trailer hints that the lawyer may become another major obstacle for him.
Is Drishyam 3 the final film in the Hindi franchise?
Yes. The film is officially titled Drishyam: The Conclusion, positioning it as the concluding chapter of the Hindi franchise.
The Hindi series began with Drishyam in 2015, followed by Drishyam 2 in 2022. The third film continues Vijay Salgaonkar's story rather than simply repeating the storyline of the Malayalam franchise.
Interestingly, the Hindi film is taking a different narrative route from the Malayalam version. Ajay Devgn has previously expressed interest in having Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph watch the Hindi film and share their feedback.
When will Drishyam 3 release in theatres?
Drishyam: The Conclusion will release in theatres on October 2, 2026.
The film is directed by Abhishek Pathak and stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shriya Saran, Rajat Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Prakash Raj, Ishita Dutta, Mrunal Jadhav and Kamlesh Sawant. It is presented by Star Studio18 and produced by Panorama Studios.

What makes the Drishyam 3 trailer interesting?
The biggest change is that Vijay is no longer dealing with the same kind of investigation audiences have seen before. The trailer introduces new evidence, a new police opponent and a new legal threat, while Meera's personal motivation makes the conflict even more emotional.
That gives Drishyam: The Conclusion a slightly different dynamic: instead of simply asking whether Vijay can escape the police, the film appears to be asking whether his carefully constructed world can survive when several people start attacking it from different directions.
Our Take
The trailer works because it doesn't completely abandon what made the Drishyam franchise popular. Vijay is still the ordinary man who relies on planning and intelligence, but this time the people trying to expose him seem better prepared than ever.
