The Hindi adaptation of Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn, is set to release on October 2.

Film adaptation
'They have made sure that it does justice...'
The source added, "Drishyam (2015) and Drishyam 2 (2022) in Hindi were quite similar to the original films. But the Hindi Drishyam 3 will be an exception." "The makers have drastically altered the plot and twists. At the same time, they have made sure that it does justice to the world of Drishyam."
Director's insight
Director Abhishek Pathak on differences between 2 versions
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Abhishek Pathak said that while both versions of Drishyam 3 will have the same emotional core, the Hindi version has been adapted differently for its audience. He explained, "The Malayalam film is an emotional family drama, while ours is a family thriller."
Music composer
Music by Ravi Basrur
The music for Drishyam 3 has been composed by Ravi Basrur, known for his work on KGF, Salaar, Marco, and Toxic. This is not the first time Devgn has collaborated with Basrur; they previously worked together on Bholaa (2023) and Singham Again (2024). Notably, all three Hindi versions of Drishyam have featured different music composers.
