CLASH CONFIRMED! Drishyam 3 Locks Gandhi Jayanti Release, Set for Box Office Face-Off with T-Series Musical T-173 –

Drishyam 3 Set For Box Office Face-Off With T-173:

The Gandhi Jayanti weekend just got a lot more interesting. After days of speculation, the makers of Drishyam 3 have officially announced the film’s release date — 2nd October 2025 — confirming a major box office clash with T-Series’ untitled romantic musical, T-173.

A few days ago, T-Series revealed plans for a big-budget romantic musical slated for the Gandhi Jayanti holiday window. Given the festive period and the contrasting genres, many trade analysts assumed Drishyam 3 would steer clear of a direct confrontation. However, the Ajay Devgn-starrer has now made its intentions clear — the clash is very much on.

What adds an intriguing layer to this face-off is the history between the two camps. T-Series was one of the producers of Drishyam 2, which went on to become a massive success at the box office. This time around, however, the music giant is not associated with Drishyam 3, making the head-to-head battle even more noteworthy.

Drishyam 3, the third instalment of the popular thriller franchise, carries strong audience recall and franchise loyalty. Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar is a character that has struck a deep chord with viewers, and expectations from the next chapter are sky-high. The 2nd October date has a direct connection with that fan-following.

On the other hand, T-Series’ romantic musical is expected to tap into festive family audiences with music, romance, and visual grandeur — a genre that traditionally performs well during holiday weekends. The last time, Ajay faced clash with a T-Series production was Singham Again vs. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and he lost it by a small margin.

With two big films targeting completely different audience segments, Gandhi Jayanti 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched box office weekends in recent times. The battle lines are drawn — and the countdown has officially begun.
