Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana – Part I has crossed ₹627.75 crore worldwide in just five days, overtaking Sanju (2018) to become his second-highest-grossing film of all time at the global box office. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological epic, released on November 5, 2026, now stands behind only Animal (2023), which grossed ₹917.76 crore worldwide during its lifetime.

This milestone is especially notable given that Ramayana is still in the early phase of its theatrical run — and the numbers are climbing fast. Bollywood Hungama reported the figures based on tracking data from across India and international markets, confirming the film’s momentum. The achievement marks a rare feat: Ranbir Kapoor now has three films that have crossed the ₹500 crore worldwide mark, each from a different genre.

Animal was an intense action drama, Sanju a biographical portrait of Sanjay Dutt, and Ramayana a grand-scale retelling of the ancient epic. That range, from gritty realism to spiritual spectacle, points to a shift in how audiences engage with his work. It’s not just about star power anymore. It’s about narrative reach.

With Animal still holding the top spot, the race for Ranbir Kapoor’s biggest-ever grosser is now fully alive. And if Ramayana continues at this pace, it could soon challenge the record held by his 2023 hit. The next few weeks will tell whether this mythic journey can outlast even the most brutal modern thriller.
