Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana didn’t just open — it detonated. Day 5, first Monday, ₹107.5 crore. The highest single-day collection in Indian cinema history. Not a typo.
Not a fluke. A record. And it wasn’t just Hindi. Kannada added ₹7.5cr.
Telugu: ₹6cr. Tamil: ₹4cr. Malayalam: ₹2.75cr. Total nett: ₹346.35cr.
Gross: ₹413.9cr. That’s more than Dhurandhar 2’s entire first Monday haul, ₹65cr, and over 1.6 times Pushpa 2’s peak day. No other film has ever done this. Not even Animal, Ranbir’s last one.
This is new ground. New numbers. New energy. He’s back.
And he’s not playing games. Sacnilk reported the figures. They’re real. The advance bookings for Tuesday? ₹34.62cr.
Eight lakh nine thousand tickets sold. Hindi alone: ₹26.93cr. That’s before the film even hits screens. Nites Tiwari’s epic, with Yash, Sai Pallavi, Rakul Preet Singh, Arun Govil, Ravi Dubey, Vivek Oberoi, Anupam Kher, Sunny Deol, opened to mixed reviews.
But Diwali momentum? Unstoppable. It wrapped its opening weekend at ₹238.85cr. Now, on Day 5, it’s not just holding, it’s soaring.
The question isn’t whether it’ll cross ₹400cr. It’s how fast. And what happens when the dust settles. One thing’s clear: Ranbir’s return isn’t quiet.
It’s loud. It’s massive. It’s already rewriting the rules.

The mythological epic starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash has shattered expectations by delivering its highest-ever collection on a weekday, raking in ₹103.47 crore nett across India on Monday, November 9 — a 90.87% surge over Sunday’s ₹54.21 crore.
Veteran actress Hema Malini has praised Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, calling the visual effects 'mind blowing' and saying she was left 'breathless with anticipation'. Her review comes after the film crossed ₹156.45 crore worldwide in four days, with its first Monday grossing ₹103.47 crore — the third-highest single-day collection in Indian box office history.
Mahesh Bhatt admitted he couldn’t hold back tears during the exile sequence — the moment before the interval where Rama steps into the forest. He said his throat closed. Tried not to cry. Failed.
Ramayana Part I collects $22.83 million in its overseas opening weekend, edging past Dhurandhar The Revenge by just $230,000 to top 2026’s international charts for Hindi films. It outpaces every other release this year by a wide margin.
