What the chances of recovery for such a drive. Its making a lot of noise and head moving, platter spinning for a while after that everything rest in peace.

Hello,

not smart, that you open the drive.
Contact some pro data recovery service in India. Depend on your location. You can try with member jignesh from smart computech from Gujarat/Ahmedabad. Search the form.

Bad

Looks like dust and fingerprints/marks on platter too.

Maybe recoverable by a good lab, not by DIY.

Expect a high cost and an upfront charge as it's opened and contaminated.

Agree with pcimage.

This needs to be decontaminated, then platters cleaned, fingerprints near the ID and elsewhere wiped off, then heads swapped, and assuming there is no media damage (to me, very likely that there is), image the drive.
If there is indeed media damage too, then that's another story, expect 4 figures quote.
