Ranbir Kapoor has achieved yet another significant milestone in his box office career. With Ramayana – Part I crossing the Rs. 200 crore mark at the Indian box office, the actor has now delivered four films that have entered the coveted Rs. 200 crore club. This achievement has propelled him into the joint fourth position among actors with the highest number of Rs. 200 crore grossers, alongside Aamir Khan and Ranveer Singh. More importantly, Ranbir has now moved ahead of Hrithik Roshan, who has three films in the prestigious club.

Ramayana, which released on Thursday, November 5, entered the Rs. 200 crore club on its fourth day, Sunday, November 8. The mythological epic joined Animal (2023), Sanju (2018) and Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva (2022) as Ranbir's fourth film to achieve the milestone. Interestingly, this development has brought Ranbir level with two of the industry's biggest names, Aamir Khan and Ranveer Singh, both of whom have four Rs. 200 crore grossers to their credit.

Despite the changing dynamics of the Hindi film industry, Salman Khan continues to occupy the top position with an impressive seven films crossing the Rs. 200 crore mark. Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn are tied for the second position, with five films each. Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan now share the fourth position with four films apiece. Hrithik Roshan, who previously stood alongside Ranbir with three films, now finds himself behind the Ramayana actor in terms of the number of Rs. 200 crore grossers.

Ranbir entered the Rs. 200 crore club for the first time with Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju in 2018. The biographical drama collected Rs. 342.53 crores nett during its lifetime, establishing Ranbir as a major box office force. His second entry came with Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva in 2022, which collected Rs. 257.44 crores nett. However, it was Animal in 2023 that transformed Ranbir's box office standing. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial amassed a mammoth Rs. 556.36 crores nett, becoming his highest-grossing film. Now, Ramayana has added another major achievement to his filmography. The fact that his four Rs. 200 crore grossers belong to different genres, including biography, fantasy, action and mythology, makes the accomplishment particularly interesting.

Ranbir's latest achievement has also altered the equation among Bollywood's leading stars. What makes the development noteworthy is that Ranbir now needs just one more Rs. 200 crore grosser to equal Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn, who have five films each in the club.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has registered a massive Rs. 366.58 crores gross at the worldwide box office within just three days of its release. The much-awaited mythological epic, which arrived in cinemas on Thursday, November 5, has witnessed an impressive turnaround on Saturday, with collections surging across both domestic and international markets. The film's third-day worldwide gross stood at Rs. 140.63 crores, its highest single-day collection so far.

The film began its global box office journey with Rs. 125.55 crores gross on Thursday, followed by Rs. 100.40 crores on Friday. However, Saturday brought a strong recovery, with worldwide collections jumping 40.07% over Friday to Rs. 140.63 crores. Interestingly, Saturday's business was also 12.01% higher than the opening day, indicating that the film has managed to regain momentum after its second-day decline.

Overseas markets deliver a massive USD 16.71 million in three days One of the most significant aspects of Ramayana's worldwide performance is its impressive overseas business. The Ranbir Kapoor–Yash starrer has collected USD 16.71 million internationally in just three days, demonstrating the substantial commercial contribution of overseas territories. The film opened with USD 5.45 million overseas on Thursday before collecting USD 4.88 million on Friday. However, Saturday witnessed a strong resurgence, with international collections rising to USD 6.38 million, representing growth of 30.74% over Friday. More importantly, Saturday emerged as the film's biggest overseas day so far, surpassing even Thursday's opening-day collections by 17.06%.

India witnesses an even sharper Saturday recovery The domestic market has also contributed significantly to Ramayana's worldwide success. In India, the film opened at Rs. 62.47 crores nett on Thursday before declining to Rs. 45.84 crores on Friday. However, Saturday witnessed a massive turnaround, with collections jumping 47.91% to Rs. 67.80 crores nett.

The three-day India total now stands at Rs. 176.11 crores nett across all language versions. Interestingly, the percentage growth in India on Saturday was considerably higher than overseas. While domestic collections increased by 47.91%, international collections grew by 30.74%.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has collected Rs. 176.11 crores nett at the Indian box office in its first three days. Released on Thursday, November 5, the much-awaited mythological epic opened at Rs. 62.47 crores, witnessed a decline to Rs. 45.84 crores on Friday and bounced back with its biggest single-day collection of Rs. 67.80 crores on Saturday.

While the overall numbers indicate a strong recovery over the weekend, the language-wise breakdown reveals several interesting trends. The Hindi version has emerged as the film's biggest contributor, while Kannada and Telugu are engaged in a close battle for the second position. 

Language Thu Fri Sat Total

Hindi 45.46 34.29 51.66 131.41

Kannada 7.00 4.58 5.85 17.43

Telugu 6.22 4.50 5.98 16.70

Tamil 2.44 1.41 2.35 6.20

Malayalam 1.35 1.06 1.96 4.37

All languages 62.47 45.84 67.80 176.11

NOTE – All figures in INR cr. Hindi contributes nearly 75% of the three-day total Over its first three days, the Hindi version has amassed Rs. 131.41 crores nett, accounting for approximately 74.62% of Ramayana's total domestic collections.

Kannada occupies the second position with Rs. 17.43 crores, followed closely by Telugu at Rs. 16.70 crores. Tamil has contributed Rs. 6.20 crores, while Malayalam stands at Rs. 4.37 crores.

Collectively, the four South Indian language versions have generated Rs. 44.70 crores, representing approximately 25.38% of the film's total business.

The numbers reveal that while Ramayana is attracting audiences across languages, Hindi continues to dominate its box office performance. The growing Hindi contribution, from 72.77% on Thursday to 76.19% on Saturday, is particularly noteworthy. Meanwhile, Kannada and Telugu remain closely matched, with just Rs. 73 lakh separating their cumulative collections after three days.

For now, the language-wise figures tell a clear story: Hindi is the backbone of Ramayana's box office, Kannada and Telugu are competing closely for second place, and Saturday's recovery has given the film renewed momentum ahead of Sunday.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has staged a strong comeback at the Indian box office on its third day. After witnessing a concerning decline on Friday, the mythological epic bounced back on Saturday, November 7, collecting Rs. 67.80 crores nett across all languages, its highest single-day collection so far. The film has now amassed Rs. 176.11 crores nett in just three days, setting the stage for a potentially massive Sunday.

The recovery is significant. Ramayana opened at Rs. 62.47 crores nett on Thursday before declining by 26.62% to Rs. 45.84 crores on Friday. However, Saturday witnessed a robust 47.91% jump over Friday, with collections even surpassing the opening day by 8.53%. This suggests that the film has benefited considerably from weekend demand, providing much-needed momentum after its second-day slowdown.

Hindi version does the heavy lifting, contributes 76% on Saturday The most striking aspect of Ramayana's box office performance continues to be the dominance of its Hindi version. On Saturday, the Hindi version collected Rs. 51.66 crores nett, registering a massive 50.66% growth over Friday's Rs. 34.29 crores. Interestingly, Hindi's contribution to the film's nationwide business has increased with each passing day. It accounted for 72.77% of Thursday's collections, 74.80% on Friday and 76.19% on Saturday. The Hindi version alone has collected Rs. 131.41 crores nett over three days, accounting for approximately 74.62% of the film's total domestic business.

Yash's Kannada version loses ground to Telugu The South Indian versions have also witnessed growth on Saturday, although their performance presents an interesting picture. The Kannada version, which benefited from Yash's enormous popularity, opened at Rs. 7 crores nett on Thursday. However, after declining to Rs. 4.58 crores on Friday, it recovered to Rs. 5.85 crores on Saturday, registering growth of 27.73%. The Telugu version, meanwhile, collected Rs. 5.98 crores on Saturday, growing 32.89% over Friday's Rs. 4.50 crores. Interestingly, Telugu has overtaken Kannada in daily collections for the first time since the film's release. While the difference is marginal, it indicates that Telugu has demonstrated better Saturday recovery than Kannada. However, Kannada continues to lead in cumulative collections, with Rs. 17.43 crores over three days compared with Telugu's Rs. 16.70 crores.

Tamil and Malayalam witness strong percentage growth The Tamil version collected Rs. 2.35 crores nett on Saturday, registering a 66.67% jump over Friday's Rs. 1.41 crores. Despite the impressive percentage growth, collections remain below Thursday's opening of Rs. 2.44 crores. Malayalam, meanwhile, delivered the strongest percentage growth among all five language versions. It jumped from Rs. 1.06 crores on Friday to Rs. 1.96 crores on Saturday, representing an increase of 84.91%. In fact, Malayalam is the only South Indian language version to have surpassed its opening-day collections on Saturday.

The pan-India question remains Despite Saturday's recovery, the broader geographical pattern remains unchanged. The four South Indian language versions collectively collected Rs. 16.14 crores nett on Saturday, compared with Rs. 11.55 crores on Friday, representing growth of approximately 39.74%. However, this was still below their combined Thursday collection of Rs. 17.01 crores.

In contrast, the Hindi version not only recovered from Friday's decline but comfortably surpassed its opening-day performance. This difference is significant. While Saturday's growth demonstrates renewed audience interest across languages, it also suggests that the Hindi market is displaying greater momentum than the southern versions. The film's pan-India appeal is certainly generating substantial business, but the numbers indicate that Hindi remains its principal commercial engine.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is witnessing encouraging advance bookings for its fourth day, Sunday, November 8. The much-awaited mythological epic has registered advance ticket sales worth Rs. 24.98 crores across all language versions, as of 2:30 PM on Saturday, November 7. A total of 8,11,821 tickets have already been sold across 20,397 shows, indicating considerable audience interest ahead of the crucial final day of its extended opening weekend.

The advance booking figures are particularly significant as Ramayana looks to build on the momentum generated over the weekend. After opening at Rs. 62.47 crores nett on Thursday and collecting Rs. 45.84 crores nett on Friday, the film has witnessed an improvement in its Saturday trends. The advance sales for Sunday suggest that the film continues to attract audiences despite the initial fluctuations in its daily collections.

One of the most interesting aspects of Sunday's advance booking is the strong representation of southern markets. Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad have emerged as the three leading cities in terms of advance booking collections. At the state level, Karnataka occupies the top position, followed by Maharashtra and Telangana. The dominance of Karnataka is particularly noteworthy given Yash's massive popularity in the state. Bengaluru's position among the top three cities further highlights the strong anticipation for the film in the Kannada market. Hyderabad's presence also underlines the importance of the Telugu-speaking market, while Mumbai continues to be a major contributor to the film's theatrical business.

Interestingly, two of the three leading cities and states belong to South India. This indicates that the southern markets remain crucial to Ramayana's advance-booking performance, even as the Hindi version has accounted for the majority of the film's nationwide box office collections so far.

For now, the Rs. 24.98 crore advance booking figure suggests that Ramayana is entering Sunday with a strong ticket-sales base. All eyes are now on whether the Ranbir Kapoor–Yash epic can translate its advance-booking momentum into a massive fourth-day collection.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has crossed the Rs. 200 crore milestone at the worldwide box office within just two days of its release. The much-awaited mythological epic, which arrived in cinemas on Thursday, November 5, has amassed a reported Rs. 215.73 crores gross globally, driven by substantial contributions from both India and international markets. However, a closer examination of the day-wise collections reveals an interesting trend, with the film witnessing a decline on Friday despite entering the conventional weekend.

The film began its worldwide journey with a massive Rs. 125.10 crores gross on Thursday. Of this, Rs. 75.26 crores came from the Indian market, while overseas territories contributed an impressive Rs. 49.84 crores. On Friday, the film collected Rs. 90.21 crores gross worldwide, marking a decline of 27.89% from its opening day. While the second-day collections remain enormous in absolute terms, the drop is noteworthy considering that Friday traditionally marks the beginning of the weekend in several major international markets.

Overseas markets contribute nearly 40% of worldwide business

One of the biggest takeaways from Ramayana's worldwide performance is the significant contribution from international markets. According to the cumulative figures, the film has generated Rs. 85.24 crores gross overseas, accounting for approximately 39.51% of its worldwide business. India, meanwhile, has contributed Rs. 130.49 crores gross, representing the remaining 60.49%. This means that for every Rs. 100 generated globally, almost Rs. 40 has come from overseas markets.

The international contribution is particularly significant because it demonstrates the importance of overseas territories to the film's commercial performance. With its ambitious scale, familiar mythology and star-studded cast, Ramayana has attracted substantial opening business beyond India. However, the day-wise trend also deserves attention.

Friday slowdown is visible in India and overseas

In India, Ramayana opened at Rs. 62.47 crores nett (Rs. 75.26 crores gross) on Thursday. On Friday, collections declined to Rs. 45.84 crores nett (Rs. 55.23 crores gross), registering a drop of approximately 26.62% in nett business. The overseas market witnessed a similar, and slightly sharper, decline.

International collections stood at Rs. 49.84 crores gross on Thursday before falling to Rs. 34.98 crores gross on Friday, representing a decline of 29.82%.

The fact that both domestic and international collections declined indicates that the slowdown was not restricted to a particular geographical market. Instead, the film witnessed a broad-based reduction in daily business following its enormous opening.

However, the Thursday release must be considered while interpreting these figures. The opening day would have benefited from the initial rush of advance bookings and audiences eager to catch the film at the earliest opportunity. The subsequent Friday decline could partly reflect this front-loading of demand.

Whether the film can generate fresh momentum over Saturday and Sunday will offer a clearer indication of its audience acceptance.

Rs. 200 crores worldwide in two days, but momentum matters

Crossing Rs. 200 crores worldwide within two days is a major commercial achievement. However, for an event film such as Ramayana, the scale of the opening is only one part of the story. The more important question is whether the film can sustain its collections beyond the initial rush. A noteworthy aspect of the worldwide performance is that the overseas market has contributed a substantial share of the film's total revenue. This provides Ramayana with an additional source of box office strength, especially as the film attempts to build momentum across the extended weekend. At the same time, the nearly 28% worldwide decline on Friday demonstrates that an enormous opening does not automatically guarantee an equally strong trajectory.

Saturday and Sunday hold the key

Having released on Thursday, Ramayana has the advantage of an extended four-day opening weekend. Saturday and Sunday will therefore be crucial in determining the film's initial box office trajectory.

The big story is that Ramayana has crossed Rs. 200 crores worldwide in just two days, the real test of its box office strength is only beginning.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana, arrived in cinemas amid tremendous expectations. With its ambitious scale, star-studded cast and pan-India positioning, the mythological epic was expected to rewrite box office records. However, the first two days have presented an interesting picture. While the film has accumulated an impressive Rs. 108.31 crores nett across all languages at the India box office, a closer examination reveals that the Hindi version is doing most of the heavy lifting, while the South Indian versions have witnessed varying degrees of decline. The film opened at Rs. 62.47 crores nett on Thursday and collected Rs. 45.84 crores nett on Friday, registering a drop of 26.62%.

Hindi is the backbone of Ramayana's box office

The Hindi version has emerged as the undisputed driving force behind Ramayana's theatrical performance. It collected Rs. 45.46 crores nett on Day 1, accounting for approximately 72.77% of the film's nationwide opening. On Day 2, the Hindi version collected Rs. 34.29 crores nett, registering a decline of 24.57%.

Interestingly, despite the drop, Hindi's contribution to the overall business actually increased on Friday. Its share rose from 72.77% on Thursday to approximately 74.80% on Friday.

This reveals an important trend. As the overall business declined, the film became even more dependent on Hindi-speaking audiences. The Hindi version has accumulated Rs. 79.75 crores nett in two days, contributing nearly three-fourths of the film's total domestic business. Considering that Ramayana is a story with universal recognition across India, its disproportionate reliance on the Hindi market is noteworthy.

The Yash factor: Karnataka delivers, but there's a catch

One of the most fascinating aspects of Ramayana's box office performance is the Kannada version. Thanks to Yash's extraordinary popularity, Karnataka was expected to be a major market for the film. The Kannada version opened at Rs. 7 crores nett, making it the biggest contributor among the four South Indian language versions. In fact, it surpassed the Telugu version, which collected Rs. 6.22 crores nett on the opening day. However, the Kannada version dropped to Rs. 4.58 crores nett on Day 2, a decline of 34.57%. This is considerably steeper than the Hindi version's decline of 24.57%.

The numbers suggest that Yash's presence has helped the film secure a strong initial audience in the Kannada market. However, sustaining that momentum is proving to be a different challenge. Interestingly, Kannada continues to marginally outperform Telugu even on Day 2, though the gap has narrowed dramatically. While Kannada collected Rs. 4.58 crores nett, Telugu was just behind at Rs. 4.50 crores nett.

Telugu remains a crucial market; Tamil is the biggest concern

The Telugu version opened at Rs. 6.22 crores nett before declining to Rs. 4.50 crores nett on Day 2, a drop of 27.65%. Although the decline is significant, Telugu has shown better retention than Kannada and Tamil. The Tamil version, meanwhile, presents the most concerning trend among the five languages. It opened at Rs. 2.44 crores nett and fell to Rs. 1.41 crores nett on Friday, registering a steep decline of 42.21%.

This is particularly noteworthy because Tamil is one of India's most important theatrical markets. Despite the film's extensive scale and the familiarity of the Ramayana story, the Tamil version has generated just Rs. 3.85 crores nett over two days.

The Malayalam version, on the other hand, has delivered a relatively better hold in percentage terms. It collected Rs. 1.35 crores nett on Day 1 and Rs. 1.06 crores nett on Day 2, declining by 21.48%. In fact, Malayalam has recorded the smallest percentage drop among all five language versions. However, its contribution remains modest in absolute terms.

Pan-India release, but is it truly delivering pan-India numbers?

This is perhaps the biggest question emerging from Ramayana's opening two days.

On Day 1, the four South Indian language versions collectively contributed Rs. 17.01 crores nett, representing 27.23% of the film's overall business. On Day 2, their combined collections declined to Rs. 11.55 crores nett, reducing their contribution to 25.20%. In other words, the South Indian versions collectively witnessed a decline of 32.10%, compared with a 24.57% decline for the Hindi version.

The difference is revealing. While Ramayana has undoubtedly benefited from its multilingual release, the numbers indicate that its appeal is currently more concentrated in the Hindi market than its pan-India positioning might suggest. The film's strong first-day performance in Kannada and Telugu demonstrates the initial curiosity generated by its casting and scale. However, the sharper declines in these markets suggest that opening-day enthusiasm has not translated into equally strong Saturday retention.

Saturday and Sunday become the real test

With Rs. 108.31 crores nett in the kitty after two days, all eyes are now on Saturday and Sunday's performance. The film needs a substantial jump to reverse the declining trend and establish stronger momentum heading into the weekdays. A recovery would indicate that family audiences and weekend moviegoers are beginning to respond. The next challenge will be the crucial Monday test, when the film's underlying audience acceptance will become clearer.

For now, Ramayana has delivered a massive opening in absolute terms but a mixed performance when measured against expectations and its day-to-day trajectory.

The advance booking for Ramayana continues to gather momentum as the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer gears up for its third day at the box office. The much-awaited mythological epic has registered advance ticket sales worth a staggering Rs. 47.05 crores gross. A total of 12,19,924 tickets have been sold across 22,572 shows, indicating the massive audience interest in the film.

The state-wise advance booking figures paint an interesting picture. Maharashtra leads the charge with advance sales of Rs. 9.81 crores gross, accounting for 1,79,700 tickets across 3,677 shows. Karnataka is not far behind, registering an impressive Rs. 8.59 crores gross from 1,68,309 tickets across 1,434 shows. The strong performance in Karnataka is particularly noteworthy, given Yash's enormous popularity in the state. Meanwhile, the National Capital Region (NCR) has also recorded encouraging numbers, with advance bookings worth Rs. 5.12 crores gross and 82,431 tickets sold across 2,016 shows.

At the city level, Mumbai has registered advance sales of Rs. 2.35 crores gross from 41,668 tickets. Bengaluru, meanwhile, has emerged as a major contributor, with two reported booking figures of Rs. 2.06 crores and Rs. 1.92 crores gross, respectively, highlighting the strong demand for the film in the city.

With advance bookings crossing the 12 lakh-ticket mark, Ramayana is witnessing significant traction for its third day. The film's performance across Maharashtra, Karnataka and NCR suggests that audience interest remains strong across key theatrical markets. The big question now is how much higher the film can soar through spot bookings and whether its Sunday collections can deliver the kind of blockbuster numbers expected from a film of this scale.

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana - Part I has registered an impressive opening at the worldwide box office, collecting Rs. 121.62 crores gross on its first day. The much-awaited mythological epic, which has generated considerable anticipation among audiences across markets, has made a strong start globally, with substantial contributions coming from both India and overseas territories. The collections represent the film's combined business across all languages.

As per the opening day figures, Ramayana - Part I has collected Rs. 62.47 crores nett from the Indian market, translating into a gross collection of Rs. 74.37 crores. The overseas markets have contributed another Rs. 47.25 crores gross, taking the film's worldwide opening day collection to Rs. 121.62 crores gross. The overseas contribution is particularly noteworthy, accounting for a sizeable portion of the film's global opening.

However, despite the impressive numbers, Ramayana - Part I has failed to surpass the worldwide opening day record of Adipurush. The Prabhas starrer, which released in 2023, had collected Rs. 140 crores gross worldwide on its first day. In comparison, Ramayana - Part I has fallen short of that benchmark by Rs. 18.38 crores, thereby missing out on the opportunity to emerge as the biggest worldwide opening day grosser among Indian mythological films.

Interestingly, the overseas business of Ramayana - Part I has played a significant role in pushing its global tally beyond the Rs. 120 crore mark on Day 1. With Rs. 47.25 crores coming from international territories, the film has demonstrated considerable appeal beyond the domestic market. Meanwhile, its India gross of Rs. 74.37 crores indicates a strong theatrical response at home, with the film managing to cross the Rs. 60 crore nett mark on its opening day.

While the film has not managed to beat the worldwide opening of Adipurush, a Rs. 121.62 crore global start remains a significant achievement. The focus will now shift to its performance over the opening weekend, particularly how well it manages to sustain its collections in India and overseas. The subsequent trajectory will be crucial in determining whether Ramayana - Part I can build on its strong start and emerge as one of the biggest worldwide box office successes of the year.

With a worldwide gross of Rs. 121.62 crores on Day 1, Ramayana - Part I has certainly made its presence felt at the global box office. However, the Rs. 140 crore opening day benchmark set by Adipurush remains beyond its reach for now.

Ramayana - Part I Worldwide Collections India Nett: Rs. 52.47 cr India Gross: Rs. 74.37 cr Overseas Gross: Rs. 47.25 cr Worldwide: Rs. 121.62 cr

Ramayan arrived in theatres with the weight of a nation’s expectations on its shoulders, and while the opening is undeniably big, it hasn’t quite touched the lofty mark that trade circles had hoped for. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer collected Rs. 62.47 crores across all languages on its first day, a figure that sounds enormous on paper but sits below the three-figure start many had predicted after the buzz around advance bookings.

The real story of the day, though, is the Hindi belt. The Hindi version raked in Rs. 45.46 crores, which accounts for approximately 72.77 percent of the film’s total haul. In simple words, nearly three out of every four rupees that came in on Friday came from Hindi audiences, making the language the film’s backbone and doing the heavy lifting for the mythological epic.

The other versions, expectedly, have contributed far less. Kannada, which gets a boost thanks to Yash’s massive fan following in the state, brought in Rs. 7 crores. Telugu followed with Rs. 6.22 crores, a decent but not spectacular number for a market that usually turns out in strength for large-scale event films. Tamil collected Rs. 2.44 crores, while Malayalam was the quietest of the lot at Rs. 1.35 crores.

What stands out is how lopsided the distribution is. A film mounted on this scale and promoted as a pan-India spectacle would ideally want its southern versions to contribute much more, and the numbers suggest that is still a work in progress. For now, the film is leaning heavily on the Hindi heartland to carry its weight.

That said, it would be unfair to write off the film’s journey after one day. Mythological and devotional dramas often grow on word of mouth, and the weekend, with its family audiences and festive mood, could change the trajectory. Much will depend on how viewers react to the film’s storytelling and scale as the days roll on.

All eyes now turn to Saturday and Sunday. If the audience response holds and families start filling the halls, Ramayan still has ample room to recover and build on this opening. The question is whether it can make up for the slightly underwhelming start and move steadily towards the big numbers it was always expected to chase.

The much-awaited Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer Ramayana - Part I has made an impressive start at the Indian box office, collecting Rs. 62.47 crores combined across all languages on its opening day. With this, the magnum opus has secured the fifth position in the list of the highest opening day grossers of all time, making a strong entry into an elite club dominated by some of the biggest blockbusters in Indian cinema.

However, the film narrowly misses out on a place in the top four. Ramayana - Part I falls short of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, which had collected Rs. 63.80 crores on its opening day, by just Rs. 1.33 crores. Had it managed to bridge this relatively small gap, the film would have secured the fourth position in the all-time opening day rankings.

At the top of the list is Dhurandhar The Revenge, which holds the record with a phenomenal opening of Rs. 90 crores. Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan occupies the second position with Rs. 75 crores, followed by Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 - The Rule, which collected Rs. 72 crores on its first day. Animal remains at number four with Rs. 63.80 crores, while Ramayana - Part I rounds off the top five.

Interestingly, Ramayana - Part I has also managed to edge past Ajay Devgn's Drishyam The Conclusion, which had opened with Rs. 62 crores, by a margin of Rs. 47 lakhs. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan follows with Rs. 57 crores, while Stree 2 had collected Rs. 55.40 crores. K.G.F - Chapter 2 and War complete the top 10 with opening day collections of Rs. 53.95 crores and Rs. 53.35 crores, respectively.

With an opening of Rs. 62.47 crores, Ramayana - Part I has firmly established itself among the biggest opening day performers in Indian cinema. The focus will now shift to its performance over the opening weekend, as the film looks to capitalise on the strong start and climb further up the box office rankings.

The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash led Ramayana has taken a phenomenal start at the box office in Hindi, as early estimates suggest first-day business in the range of Rs. 50 crore to Rs. 51 crore, depending on how strong the film has performed in the single screens of the mass belt.

This is the biggest Pre-Diwali start, as the film has broken the long-standing record of Salman Khan-led Tiger 3, which opened at Rs. 44 crore on Diwali day. Ramayana will see a dip in business on Friday, but the Saturday figure could top the opening day, and even hit the Rs. 60 crore mark as the reports are supremely positive.

The four-day pre-Diwali weekend of Ramayana is expected to be in the range of Rs. 210 crore, and then it's expected to peak from Monday to Wednesday, doubling from the Pre-Diwali total. The business is phenomenal all across the board, as the two leads - Ranbir Kapoor and Yash are flexing their stardom despite a conventionally lull period.

The national chains are looking to collect around Rs 30 crore on Thursday, contributing 55 per cent to the total business. The film has a wide release on over 20,000 shows in North India, and the peak capacity is expected to be achieved on Monday.

One must remember that Ramayana has got a limited release in the South by the distributor partners in the Southern Markets, and the restrained release has cost it at least Rs. 5 crore in Hindi.

Ramayana is witnessing a significant surge at the ticket windows as the day progresses. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has collected Rs. 40 crores on Day 1 by 5 PM, a sharp jump from the Rs. 20 crores recorded till 12 noon. The film has also seen an occupancy of 37% over the evening shows, indicating that audiences are continuing to turn up in strong numbers as the day goes on.

The momentum suggests that the Nitesh Tiwari directorial is heading towards a landmark opening, with the evening and night shows still to come. Bengaluru continues to lead among cities. It has contributed Rs. 2.36 crores gross (Rs. 2.05 crores nett) with 50,806 tickets sold across 315 shows, accounting for 5.0% of the total. The city has registered a healthy occupancy of 47.7%. Mumbai follows with Rs. 1.49 crores gross (Rs. 1.30 crores nett), 27,170 tickets across 513 shows and a contribution of 3.2%, with occupancy at 22.6%.

Maharashtra tops the state-wise chart with Rs. 4.08 crores gross (Rs. 3.55 crores nett). It has sold 87,853 tickets across 1,437 shows, contributing 8.7% of the total, with occupancy at 26.0%. Karnataka is a close second with Rs. 3.49 crores gross (Rs. 3.04 crores nett) and 83,651 tickets. Notably, it has done this across just 481 shows, which has pushed its occupancy to a remarkable 54.0% and its contribution to 7.4%. NCR is third with Rs. 2.23 crores gross (Rs. 1.94 crores nett), 40,037 tickets across 771 shows and a contribution of 4.7%, with occupancy at 25.0%.

Among multiplex chains, PVR is leading with Rs. 5.36 crores gross (Rs. 4.67 crores nett) from 1,06,718 tickets across 1,255 shows at 179 venues. The chain has contributed 11.4% of the total, with occupancy at 40.0%. INOX follows with Rs. 4.46 crores gross (Rs. 3.88 crores nett), 92,814 tickets across 1,265 shows at 153 venues, contributing 9.5% with an occupancy of 34.0%.

The combination of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana, along with the scale of the project, has made Ramayana one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. With the prime evening and night slots still ahead, the final Day 1 figure is expected to climb significantly higher.

The excitement surrounding Ramayan is translating into impressive numbers at the ticket windows even before its theatrical release. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has registered a massive response in advance booking, with the film collecting an impressive Rs. 20 crores in advance sales till 12 noon.

The pace of ticket sales is particularly encouraging and indicates that the much-awaited mythological epic is heading towards a thunderous opening. With considerable time still left for the day, the advance booking numbers are expected to witness further growth, especially as the film continues to generate tremendous curiosity among moviegoers.

Among cities, Bengaluru is leading the charge. The Karnataka capital has contributed Rs. 1.23 crores gross (Rs. 1.07 crores nett) with 25,196 tickets sold across 222 shows, accounting for 5.3% of the total and an occupancy of 34.1%. Mumbai follows with Rs. 67.47 lakhs gross (Rs. 58.70 lakhs nett), 14,782 tickets and 334 shows, contributing 2.9%, though occupancy there is currently at 18.7%. Hyderabad is third with Rs. 53.98 lakhs gross (Rs. 46.96 lakhs nett). The city has sold 26,846 tickets across just 162 shows, which translates into the highest occupancy among the top three at a strong 40.8%, and contributes 2.3% of the total.

Among regions, NCR has netted Rs. 93.97 lakhs gross (Rs. 81.76 lakhs nett) with 18,677 tickets sold across 475 shows, contributing 4.0% at an occupancy of 19.1%. Karnataka has collected Rs. 81.07 lakhs gross (Rs. 70.53 lakhs nett) with 30,303 tickets and 271 shows, contributing 3.5% with a healthy occupancy of 31.9%. Maharashtra has contributed Rs. 79.74 lakhs gross (Rs. 69.37 lakhs nett) from 24,706 tickets across a wide spread of 839 shows, contributing 3.4%, with occupancy at 15.0%.

In the multiplex space, PVR is leading with Rs. 2.52 crores gross (Rs. 2.19 crores nett), 54,610 tickets across 789 shows at 178 venues, contributing 10.8% at an occupancy of 32.6%. INOX is next with Rs. 2.07 crores gross (Rs. 1.80 crores nett), 48,113 tickets across 799 shows at 153 venues, contributing 8.8% with an occupancy of 28.1%.

What makes the trend noteworthy is the extraordinary pace at which audiences are booking tickets. The combination of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Yash as Ravana has emerged as one of the biggest talking points surrounding the film. Moreover, the scale of the project and the anticipation around bringing the epic to the big screen have significantly heightened audience interest.

While the final opening-day figure will depend on how advance bookings progress and the walk-in audience response, the initial signs are extremely promising. With Rs. 20 crores already in the bag by noon, Ramayan is showing all the signs of a major box-office event.

The coming hours will be crucial in determining just how big the opening eventually turns out to be. For now, the Ranbir Kapoor – Yash starrer has made a powerful start at the ticket windows.

The most awaited film of Indian Cinema, Ramayana is just a day away from its release, and the hype is at an all-time high, especially after the overtly positive reports from the early screenings, including the one by Bollywood Hungama. With less than 7 hours to go for the D-Day, Ramayana has sold approximately 3,30,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and is looking to close the day around the 4 lakh mark.

The pre-sales are phenomenal, more so for the Pre-Diwali period, as the film is headed for a strong start of Rs. 60 crore on Thursday. It's an unconventional mid-week release owing to Namit Malhotra's decision of aligning with the international version, and a conventional Friday release could have spiked the sales by at least 10 per cent.

The sales are not so good for the South Versions, despite the presence of Yash, as all the heavy lifting is done by the Hindi version. In gross terms, the Hindi advance is around the Rs 30 crore mark, which more or less locks in an opening of Rs. 50 crore, and the eyes are now on how the film moves in the final 7 hours, leading to momentum for the release.

Ramayana is the most expensive film of Indian Cinema. The real business of the film is expected to happen from Monday, which is when the Diwali lull goes off. With positive reports, it could have a shot at a century too if all aligns, as there's enough capacity across the country to hit the number.

The stage is set for Indian Cinema to take over the global platform as Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led Ramayana is headed to take a historic opening on Thursday at the box office across the globe. The advances are encouraging across the board, especially for the Hindi version in India as well as abroad.

Based on the trends, we predict an all-India gross opening of Rs. 100 crore for Ramayana, whereas the overseas pre-sales are hinting at a $6 million start. All in all, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash film is all set to clock a worldwide opening day of Rs. 160 crore, which would place it as the second biggest opening day of all time for a Hindi Film, after Dhurandhar 2, which opened around the Rs. 200 crore mark.

The global opening of Ramayana is expected to be bigger than Shah Rukh Khan blockbusters - Jawan and Pathaan - both of which opened around the Rs 120 crore mark. From a global start of Rs. 160 crore, the stage is set for Ramayana to explode in a big way, and if the content lands, nothing can stop it from emerging as a blockbuster of epic proportions.

The early reports are extremely positive, and as reported by Bollywood Hungama before, it's a perfect telling of the EPIC Indian tale.

The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led Ramayana is headed to take a bumper opening at the box office in India, as the advances have started to see massive surge from today. As of Monday at 10 PM, Ramayana has sold tickets worth Rs. 30 crore all across the country, and the final pre-sales could go as high as Rs. 60 crore from hereon.

A large chunk of this business has come in from the Hindi version, as the pre-sales in Hindi stand around Rs. 25 crore, with the remaining biz coming in from Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu. Talking of our conventional judgement parameter, Ramayana has sold 2,25,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and is looking at a final advance of 5 lakh tickets.

The opening day Ramayana will find a placement in the top 3 biggest of all time, and that's despite the Pre-Diwali window. The real value of the film in Hindi could be as high as the Rs. 90 crore mark, as the pre-Diwali factor has taken a toll in certain markets.

Ramayana is receiving a positive response from the early screenings, as we at Bollywood Hungama have given the film a perfect 5-star rating. The expectations are huge and the film is expected to be a massive blockbuster upon its release.

The Ranbir Kapoor- and Yash-led Ramayana is just 5 days away from release, and advance bookings have started gaining solid momentum across the board. As of Saturday at 3 PM, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic has sold 1.70 lakh tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and is all set to hit the 2 lakh pre-sales mark by the end of Sunday.

From there, it will be targeting to just about double up, and land up in the pre-sales zone of Drishyam 3. The pricing is high, and the release is wider, so the film will be looking to open in the north of Drishyam 3. Having said that, Ramayana might be hit by the pre-Diwali factor too, so it's going to be an interesting wait-and-watch scenario. The momentum is in its favour, and that is indicative of stronger advances as the D-Day nears.

The advances have started to open up in the non-national chains too now, and this will give a clearer idea of the trajectory for opening day. All in all, a big opening day is on the cards for Ramayana, and the days ahead will tell us how big.

A start bigger than Animal and Toxic is assured for both Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, and we wait and watch to see if it can top Jawan to emerge the 3rd biggest opener of all time.

With less than a week to go for its release, the conversations around Namit Malhotra's Ramayana refuse to die down as the hype is at an all-time high. As of Friday at 2 PM, Ramayana has sold 1,50,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led saga is now looking to gain momentum leading to the release.

At this moment, Ramayana is trailing Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 by a substantial margin in India, but it won't take long for things to turn in its favour. A start in the north of Animal and Toxic is assured, but the targets are big, as the makers would be wanting Ramayana to take the #1 opening of all time in Hindi, surpassing Dhurandhar 2 and Pushpa 2.

The present advance sales cycle is suggesting a start of Rs. 65 crores, which is huge for the Pre-Diwali period, but the momentum shift needs to happen over the next 3 days for us to say this figure with certainty. Ramayana is tracking to hit the 5 lakh pre-sales in the national multiplex chains, which places it in the top 5 of all time.

More shows are expected to open from today onwards in the non-national chains, and that will give an idea of where the film is headed, as the Pre-Diwali factor will come into play at some point in time.

In most films, the biggest challenge for a filmmaker is to keep the audience guessing what happens next. Will the hero defeat the villain? Will the lovers reunite? Will good triumph over evil?

Nitesh Tiwari doesn't have that luxury.

As he prepares to bring Ramayana: Part One to cinemas on November 5, the filmmaker faces a challenge unlike almost anything in contemporary Indian cinema. A vast audience already knows the story. They know the characters, the major conflicts, the sacrifices and the eventual outcome.

And yet, they will pay to watch it again.

This is the fascinating paradox at the heart of Ramayana. The familiarity of the epic could become the film's biggest commercial strength. But it could also become its greatest creative obstacle.

How do you surprise an audience that already knows what is going to happen?

The biggest spoiler in Indian cinema history

Imagine making a thriller where the audience already knows the killer. Or a romantic film where everyone knows whether the couple will end up together. That is effectively the challenge facing the makers of Ramayana.

The epic has been narrated, performed, adapted and reinterpreted across generations. From Ramanand Sagar's iconic television series to animated adaptations, theatrical productions and countless regional retellings, the story occupies an extraordinary place in Indian cultural consciousness.

For many viewers, Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana are not simply characters from a story. They are figures with deep religious, emotional and cultural significance. That creates an unusual relationship between the audience and the filmmaker.

Viewers are not necessarily arriving to discover a new narrative. They are arriving with memories, expectations and deeply established ideas about how the characters should behave. Even a small creative choice could generate intense discussion.

Familiarity can be a box-office superpower

However, knowing the story does not necessarily reduce the desire to watch it. In fact, some of the biggest cinematic successes have been built around narratives that audiences already understand.

Titanic was based on a historical disaster whose outcome was universally known. The Lord of the Rings attracted readers familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien's novels. The Harry Potter films turned bestselling books into enormous theatrical events.

In these cases, audiences were not buying tickets merely to find out what happened next.

They wanted to experience familiar stories in a new cinematic form.

Ramayana has a similar opportunity, although the cultural and religious significance of its source material creates additional responsibilities.

The film does not need to invent suspense around the eventual outcome. It needs to make the journey emotionally compelling. The question is not whether Rama will defeat Ravana. It is whether audiences will feel the emotional weight of everything that leads to that confrontation.

The danger of changing too much or too little

This is where the creative challenge becomes particularly difficult. If the makers follow familiar versions of the story too closely, younger audiences accustomed to contemporary cinematic storytelling may find the treatment predictable. But if they introduce significant changes to the characters, dialogues or events, they risk alienating viewers who expect a faithful interpretation.

The challenge is further complicated by the fact that the Ramayana does not exist in only one narrative tradition. Different regions, languages and communities have their own retellings and interpretations.

What one audience considers familiar may not be identical to what another expects. Nitesh Tiwari must therefore balance creative interpretation with cultural sensitivity. And that balance could prove more important than the film's visual effects or action sequences.

Why emotion must defeat spectacle

The scale of Ramayana is undoubtedly one of its major attractions. The involvement of Prime Focus Studios and DNEG has generated expectations of elaborate visual effects and ambitious world-building.

But spectacular imagery alone cannot make the film memorable. Audiences may initially be impressed by the grandeur of Ayodhya, the magnificence of Lanka or the scale of the battle sequences. What will remain with them, however, is the emotional impact of the characters.

Rama's sense of duty, Sita's courage, Lakshman's loyalty, Hanuman's devotion and Ravana's pride offer extraordinary dramatic possibilities. If these relationships are handled convincingly, audiences could find themselves deeply moved by events they have known since childhood.

That would be a far greater achievement than merely delivering technically impressive action sequences.

The generational challenge

Another fascinating aspect is the difference in expectations across age groups. Older viewers may approach the film with memories of traditional portrayals and television adaptations. Middle-aged audiences may seek a balance between emotional familiarity and modern cinematic production values.

Younger audiences, meanwhile, may expect the visual sophistication and pacing associated with contemporary global blockbusters.

The film must appeal to all these groups without feeling like three different films stitched together. That is no ordinary challenge.

A sequence that feels appropriately reverential to one audience could appear slow to another. A visually spectacular interpretation that excites younger viewers might not necessarily appeal to those who prefer a more traditional presentation.

The makers must find a common emotional language capable of bridging these expectations.

The final verdict

The box-office numbers of Ramayana will undoubtedly dominate headlines. Its opening-day collections, worldwide gross and comparisons with previous blockbusters will generate enormous attention.

But the film's most important test cannot be measured entirely in crores.

It will be whether Nitesh Tiwari can make audiences laugh, cry, cheer and feel emotionally invested in a story whose major events they already know. The greatest achievement of Ramayana would not be surprising viewers with what happens next. It would be making them feel as though they are experiencing those familiar moments for the very first time.

After all, when the whole country knows the story, the only thing left to surprise them with is how powerfully it is told.

Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 continues to make waves at the worldwide box office. The action entertainer has crossed the Rs. 735 crore mark in worldwide gross collections within just 12 days of its theatrical release, underlining its strong commercial performance across markets.

The film, which brings back Rajinikanth in a high-voltage avatar, has emerged as a major box-office force, attracting audiences in India as well as overseas. Its latest worldwide collection milestone further strengthens its position among the biggest theatrical performers of the year.

Crossing Rs. 735 crores worldwide in 12 days is a significant achievement for the Rajinikanth starrer, particularly given the scale of its theatrical business across territories. The film has maintained momentum beyond its opening phase, adding to its cumulative gross and continuing its impressive run at the global box office.

With this milestone, the focus now shifts to how far Jailer 2 can push its worldwide total in the coming days. The film’s performance over the next week will be crucial in determining its eventual lifetime collections and the records it could challenge.

For now, Jailer 2 has delivered another major box-office milestone, crossing Rs. 735 crores in worldwide gross collections in just 12 days and reinforcing Rajinikanth’s formidable theatrical pull.

The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash led Ramayana release is round the corner, and the early response to the pre-sales is strong, though it is yet to get towards the bumper levels that the trade expected to. As of Monday at 2 PM, Ramayana has sold approximately 1 lakh tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - and the real game of pre-sales is expected to commence from the second half of the week.

Ramayana advances are indicating a career-best opening for both Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, surpassing their previous best, Animal and Toxic, which opened around the Rs. 50 crore mark in Hindi. The target for Ramayana will be to surpass the first-day business of Dhurandhar 2, but at the moment, that seems like a difficult ask, as the pre-Diwali factor will also come into play.

Ramayana will be aiming to sell around 5 lakh tickets in the national chains for the opening day, which would set it up well for a start in the north of Rs. 60 crore, and the movement in non-national chains will decide if it has a real shot of even topping the Rs. 70 crore mark.

The advances of Ramayana are good outside of the opening day too, and that's always a great sign indicating interest in the film. The first 4 days might fall short of expectations, but the real game will begin from Monday, and if the content lands, the sky is the limit for Ramayana.

The Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan led comic caper, Udta Teer has surprised with its trend in the opening weekend. According to early estimates, the Karan Johar produced comedy collected approx. Rs. 7.9 crore on Sunday, taking the 3-day total collections to Rs. 18.83 crore.

For those aware, Udta Teer opened at Rs. 3.89 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs. 7.04 crore on Saturday, and peaked at Rs. 7.9 crore on Sunday. The film has doubled from Friday, and that's a great sign for holding in the long term, as it will benefit from a clean run in the second weekend too.

The Monday business will give an idea of where the film could end, but at the moment it has a shot at hitting the Rs. 50 crore mark. That's not saying that the film is a success, but from where it started, this should be a win for the makers.

Udta Teer is a one-of-a-kind spy comedy, and a genre breaker of sorts, and these numbers are encouraging, but the race has just begun, and the holds on the weekdays will decide the fate.

The biggest spectacle of Indian cinema, Ramayana: Part One, has opened up for advance bookings in India, and as expected, the response has been encouraging. With 12 days to go for its grand release on November 5, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has crossed 1lakh tickets in the top national chains – PVR INOX and Cinepolis – as of Sunday, October 25, at 9 AM. The film is selling tickets like hotcakes in IMAX properties, whereas the pre-sales elsewhere are reasonably good at the moment.

Of the total 1,07,562 tickets sold, PVR INOX has contributed 96,645 tickets, while Cinepolis has recorded sales of 10,917 tickets.

Having said that, Ramayana is expected to gain stronger momentum as it nears its grand release date of November 5. The target for Ramayana will be to hit the 5 lakh mark in the national chains, though the pre-Diwali factor could keep it away from attaining this milestone. For the Nitesh Tiwari directorial, anything north of 3.5 lakh tickets for the opening day will be a good result for a pre-Diwali release.

The pricing is at an all-time high, with IMAX shows crossing the Rs. 2,000 mark at several locations, and interestingly, there are sales in those centres too. This is just the beginning, as Ramayana will be aiming for an onslaught in pre-sales from Wednesday, October 28, when the final eight days leading up to the release begin.

The target for Ramayana should be to top the Rs. 70 crore mark on November 5 and build from there. However, keeping in mind the limitations of the pre-Diwali period, a start of Rs. 60 crore will also keep the film firmly in the race for big results over the peak Diwali period starting November 9.

All said and done, the engine has started gathering momentum. With over 1 lakh tickets already sold and the biggest phase of advance bookings still to come, it's only a matter of time before Ramayana turns up the heat at the box office.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2 continues its phenomenal run at the worldwide box office. The action entertainer has crossed the Rs. 616 crore mark in worldwide gross collections in just 8 days, further strengthening its position among the biggest box-office successes of 2026.

After delivering a historic first week, the Nelson Dilipkumar directorial has carried its momentum into the second week, with audiences continuing to turn up for the big-screen spectacle. The film’s remarkable worldwide total underlines Rajinikanth’s enduring star power and the franchise’s massive appeal across markets.

With its collections now exceeding Rs. 616 crores worldwide, Jailer 2 has added another significant milestone to its record-breaking theatrical journey. The film’s performance has been powered by its strong domestic business as well as a substantial contribution from overseas territories.

The next target will be to sustain its momentum over the second weekend and add to its already impressive worldwide haul. Having made a historic start, Jailer 2 is firmly in the race to set further benchmarks for Tamil cinema.

The biggest spectacle of Indian Cinema, Ramayana: Part One, has opened up for advance bookings in India, and as expected, the response is phenomenal. With 13 days to go for the release, the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash starrer has sold 53,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains - PVRInox and Cinepolis - as on Thursday at 9.30 PM. The film is selling tickets like hot cupcakes in the IMAX properties, whereas the pre-sales elsewhere are just about good at the moment.

Having said that, Ramayana will definitely gain stronger momentum as it nears the grand release date of November 5. The target for Ramayana will be to hit the 5 lakh mark in the national chains, though the pre-Diwali factor could keep it away from attaining this. For the Nitesh Tiwari directorial, anything in the north of 3.5 lakh tickets for the opening day will be a good release for a Pre-Diwali release.

The pricing is at an all-time high, with IMAX shows hitting the Rs. 2,000 mark at some locations, and interestingly, there are sales in those centres too. This is just the beginning, as Ramayana will be aiming at an onslaught in pre-sales from Wednesday, which is the final 7 days leading to the release.

The target for Ramayana should be to top the Rs. 70 crore mark on November 5, and build on from there, but keeping in mind the limitations in the pre-Diwali period, a start of Rs. 60 crore will also keep the film in the race for big results over the peak Diwali period starting from November 9.

All said and done, the engine has started; it's a matter of time before it ignites the heat.

The Drishyam franchise has achieved a major box-office milestone, emerging as the fifth highest-grossing franchise on Bollywood Hungama's domestic lifetime collections chart. Powered by the phenomenal run of Drishyam The Conclusion, the franchise has accumulated Rs. 648.65 crores, edging past the Housefull franchise, which has collected Rs. 646.08 crores.

The achievement is particularly noteworthy for Ajay Devgn, as the franchise has reached this position with three films. The original Drishyam, released in 2015, collected Rs. 67.13 crores, followed by Drishyam 2 in 2022, which earned Rs. 240.54 crores. The latest instalment, Drishyam The Conclusion, has contributed Rs. 340.98 crores, taking the combined total to Rs. 648.65 crores.

In comparison, the Housefull franchise has five instalments to its credit. The series comprises Housefull (Rs. 75.62 crores), Housefull 2 (Rs. 106 crores), Housefull 3 (Rs. 109.14 crores), Housefull 4 (Rs. 194.60 crores) and Housefull 5 (Rs. 160.72 crores). Their combined domestic lifetime collections stand at Rs. 646.08 crores, leaving the franchise Rs. 2.57 crores behind Drishyam.

The comparison highlights the remarkable contribution of Drishyam The Conclusion. Its collections have not only surpassed those of Drishyam 2, but have also propelled the franchise past an established comedy series that has twice as many instalments.

At the top of the franchise chart is Dhurandhar, with Rs. 2,004.05 crores, followed by Pushpa (Rs. 938.36 crores), Ek Tha Tiger (Rs. 823.46 crores) and Stree (Rs. 756.92 crores). With Rs. 648.65 crores, Drishyam now occupies the fifth position, ahead of Housefull and Baahubali, which has accumulated Rs. 635.82 crores.

With Drishyam The Conclusion driving the franchise to new heights, the latest milestone underlines the commercial strength of the suspense-thriller series and its ability to compete with some of Indian cinema's biggest franchises.

Top 10 Highest Grossing Franchises: Dhurandhar Franchise - Rs. 2004.05 cr Pushpa Franchise - Rs. 938.36 cr Tiger Franchise - Rs. 823.46 cr Stree Franchise - Rs. 756.92 cr Drishyam Franchise - Rs. 648.65 cr Housefull Franchise - Rs. 646.08 cr Baahubali Franchise - Rs. 635.82 cr Gadar Franchise - Rs. 602.33 cr Animal - Rs. 556.36 cr Bhool Bhulaiyaa Franchise - Rs. 518.82 cr

Drishyam The Conclusion is on the verge of achieving a major box-office milestone in the Mumbai circuit. The Ajay Devgn starrer has collected Rs. 98.72 crores in the circuit and is expected to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark today.

Once it achieves the feat, Drishyam The Conclusion will become the third release of 2026 to collect Rs. 100 crores or more in the Mumbai circuit, underlining its strong theatrical performance in one of the most significant territories for Hindi films.

Leading the list is Dhurandhar The Revenge, which has amassed a phenomenal Rs. 343.94 crores in the Mumbai circuit. The film has established a considerable lead over other releases this year, emerging as the territory's biggest box-office performer of 2026.

Border 2 occupies the second position with collections of Rs. 101.29 crores. Drishyam The Conclusion, meanwhile, is currently in third place with Rs. 98.72 crores and needs another Rs. 1.28 crores to enter the coveted Rs. 100 crore club in the circuit.

With the milestone expected to be achieved today, Drishyam The Conclusion will further strengthen its standing among the year's biggest theatrical successes. Its entry into the Mumbai circuit's Rs. 100 crore club will also place it alongside Dhurandhar The Revenge and Border 2, making it the third film released in 2026 to accomplish the feat.

2026 Rs. 100 cr Grossers within the Mumbai circuit Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 343.94 cr Border 2 - Rs. 101.29 cr Drishyam The Conclusion - Rs. 98.72 cr

The Rajkummar Rao led Prahaar is turning out to be a failure at the box office, as the film has failed to show substantial growth in biz on the second day. According to early estimates, the courtroom drama has collected Rs. 3 crore to Rs. 3.25 crore on Saturday, taking the two-day collections to Rs. 5.25 crore

The film should have shown bigger gains on Saturday, more so because the start was on the lower side, but this more or less spells trouble for the trajectory in the long run. Prahaar has received a good reception in the media, but the audience interest seems to be on the lower side, which is resulting in a not-so-good spike in business.

With this, the first weekend of Prahaar is expected to be around the Rs. 9 crore mark, and from there, it might be a task to even hit the Rs. 20 crore mark at the box office in India. The numbers are dismal internationally, and given the high costs, it could prove to be a loss-making film for the producers.

Prahaar has also been hit by competition on all fronts from films like Jailer 2, Nayyi Navelli and Drishyam 3, among others.

The Yami Gautam led horror comedy, Nayyi Navelli is facing a tough time at the box office in India. After a start of Rs. 3.25 crore on Friday, the Aanand L Rai production has collected in the range of Rs. 4.25 crore on Saturday, taking the two-day total to Rs. 7.5 crore.

The film will be in the same range on Sunday too, targeting first weekend business of Rs. 12 crore, and from there it's on the weekdays trajectory. The word of mouth of Nayyi Navelli is mixed, tilted towards the negative side, so it's tough for it to have long theatrical legs at the box office.

Nayyi Navelli was arriving with some expectations of sorts due to the genre, but the not-so-good word of mouth has resulted in a poor theatrical trajectory. The competition from Jailer 2, Drishyam 3 and Prahaar too has put limitations on its theatrical performance.

There is a Dussehra Holiday on Tuesday, which could push the business by some crores, but that's about it, as the film will still be far off from emerging as a success story.

Rajinikanth means Superstar, and Superstar means Rajinikanth. At the age of 76, the superstar of all generations is smashing it out of the park at the box office with the Nelson Dilipkumar directorial, Jailer 2. In just 3 days of its release, the action thriller has collected Rs. 325 crores at the worldwide box office, and is fast headed to surpass the Rs. 400 crore mark.

Jailer 2 is set to score the biggest opening weekend of all time for a Tamil Film, and is racing towards emerging as the #1 Tamil film of all time by going past the overall collections of the 8-year-old film, 2.0. And guess what? Even that film starred Rajinikanth in lead, and it took another Rajinikanth film after 8 years to break the record.

Jailer 2 opened at Rs. 130 crore on Thursday, followed by the second day of Rs. 85 crore, and now the early box office trend is indicating third-day business in the range of Rs. 110 crore, taking total collections to Rs 325 crore.

The fourth-day business of Jailer 2 will also be above the Rs. 100 crore mark, which means that the film will consolidate the extended opening weekend in the north of Rs. 425 crores, marking it one of the biggest opening weekends of all time in India, and the biggest ever for a film from Tamil origin.

It's Rajini mania all across the board, as even at 76, the superstar is delivering mammoth projects and smashing it at the box office.

The Rajinikanth led Jailer 2 directed by Nelson Dilipkumar is doing well at the box office in Hindi. After opening at Rs. 3.25 crore on Thursday, the film showed a strong hold on Friday with collections of Rs. 3 crore. And now, as per early trends, the comic action thriller is showing a strong surge in collections on Saturday, as the early estimates are in the range of Rs. 4 crore to Rs. 4.50 crore.

With this, the 3-day total of Jailer 2 in Hindi stands at approx. Rs. 10 crore, and the film will be looking at another big surge in business on Sunday, to pack a punch with weekend business of Rs. 14-15 crore plus. The Rajinikanth starrer is doing these numbers without a national chain release, and that makes the collections even better as the bulk of the biz is coming in from non-national multiplexes and single-screen theatres.

With a national chain release, the 3-day total could have been around the Rs. 20 crore mark, whereas the weekend could have been well above the Rs. 30 crore mark. It's a big misfire from Sun Pictures by skipping national chain releases in the greed of getting some extra revenues from digital platforms, as Jailer 2 had the chance to emerge as a big blockbuster at the pan-India level.

The film has a cameo from a top star like Hrithik Roshan, which has been appreciated by the cine-goers, and this could have fueled stronger momentum in national chains as well.

Drishyam The Conclusion has crossed the coveted Rs. 500 crore mark at the worldwide box office, adding another major milestone to its impressive theatrical run. The Ajay Devgn starrer has accumulated Rs. 507.01 crore in worldwide gross collections, emerging as one of the significant box office successes of 2026.

According to the latest figures, the film has collected Rs. 326.98 crore in India nett, translating into an India gross of Rs. 389.26 crore. The overseas market has contributed Rs. 117.75 crore, taking the worldwide gross to Rs. 507.01 crore. The numbers underline the film's strong performance across domestic and international territories, with overseas collections accounting for a substantial share of its global business.

The crossing of the Rs. 500 crore milestone is particularly significant for the Drishyam franchise, which has steadily expanded its reach with each instalment. The latest film has benefited from the popularity of the property, audience familiarity with Vijay Salgaonkar's world and the sustained interest surrounding the thriller's theatrical release. Its worldwide performance also reflects the appeal of established franchises when backed by a strong theatrical response.

In India, the film's nett collection of Rs. 326.98 crore highlights the scale of its domestic run, while the gross figure of Rs. 389.26 crore places it firmly among the year's major theatrical performers. The overseas contribution of Rs. 117.75 crore further strengthens its global standing, demonstrating that the film's appeal has extended beyond the domestic market.

For Ajay Devgn, the milestone adds to a year marked by major box office achievements. With Drishyam The Conclusion now past Rs. 500 crore worldwide, attention will turn to how much further the film can grow in the coming days. Its final global total will depend on its remaining theatrical momentum and the pace at which collections settle in both India and overseas markets.

For now, the thriller has achieved a significant landmark, taking its worldwide gross to Rs. 507.01 crore and cementing its position among the notable global box office performers of 2026.

For Drishyam The Conclusion, the second Thursday figures offer another encouraging sign as the film moves beyond its opening week.

The film's India business has been the primary contributor to its worldwide total.

The film has also performed well in the overseas markets, where it has amassed Rs. 114.51 crore gross.

The achievement further underlines the audience appeal of the Drishyam franchise, which has built a strong following through its suspense-driven storytelling and the enduring popularity of Ajay Devgn's portrayal of Vijay Salgaonkar.

Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2 is all set to arrive in cinemas tomorrow, October 15, and the excitement surrounding the film is enormous. The frenzy can be attributed to Rajinikanth's unparalleled stardom, the phenomenal popularity of the first instalment and the mass-appealing genre of the franchise. In this article, Bollywood Hungama takes a closer look at the film's extraordinary advance booking trends.

As of 3:45 pm on October 14, Jailer 2 had sold a mind-boggling 14.15 lakh tickets for its opening day alone. The phenomenal response has put the film on course for a massive opening of more than Rs. 30 crores, making it one of the biggest openers of the year. Meanwhile, the total advance ticket sales for the opening weekend stand at approximately 18-19 lakhs. These figures indicate that Jailer 2 is poised for a healthy weekend at the box office. While its performance on weekdays will depend on audience word of mouth, the film has undoubtedly laid the foundation for a terrific theatrical run.

Interestingly, the Hindi version of Jailer 2, titled Rajini: The Jailer 2, has also sprung a pleasant surprise. It has sold 39,485 tickets for Thursday, October 15, an impressive achievement for two reasons. Firstly, the film is releasing on a non-holiday Thursday, and yet, the advance booking response has been encouraging. Secondly, the Hindi version has not secured a release in the national multiplex chains, namely PVR INOX, Cinepolis and Miraj, reportedly due to its planned OTT premiere just four weeks after its theatrical release.

As a result, Rajini: The Jailer 2 will release on a comparatively limited number of screens and with a lower average ticket price (ATP). Despite these limitations, the advance booking response is praiseworthy and underlines Rajinikanth's popularity among Hindi-speaking audiences.

The Hindi version of the first Jailer (2023) had failed to make much of a mark theatrically, partly due to its clash with Gadar 2 and OMG 2. Moreover, it, too, had missed out on a release in the national multiplex chains. However, the film subsequently found a wide audience through satellite television and OTT platforms. This factor appears to have translated into significantly stronger interest in the sequel.

Rajinikanth's last release, Coolie (2025), had opened at Rs. 4.50 crores in Hindi, though it secured a release in the national chains. Given the encouraging advance booking of Rajini: The Jailer 2, it remains to be seen whether the sequel can come close to, or even match, the Hindi opening-day collections of Coolie, despite operating with a significant disadvantage in terms of screen count and ticket pricing.

Nevertheless, the advance booking numbers have made one thing clear: Even at the age of 75, Rajinikanth continues to be one of the greatest superstars Indian cinema has ever seen. His unparalleled stardom and appeal transcend generations, languages and geographical boundaries. The excitement surrounding Jailer 2, even in markets where its theatrical reach is restricted, is yet another testament to the extraordinary craze for the legendary superstar.

Drishyam The Conclusion has registered the second highest second-weekend collection of 2026, further strengthening its position among the year's biggest theatrical performers. The Ajay Devgn starrer collected Rs. 65 crore in its second weekend, placing it behind only Dhurandhar The Revenge in the list of highest second-weekend grossers of the year.

The film collected Rs. 14.50 crore on Friday, October 9, before witnessing a substantial jump on Saturday with Rs. 26.17 crore. It followed this up with Rs. 24.33 crore on Sunday, taking its second-weekend total to Rs. 65 crore. The strong Saturday and Sunday numbers helped the film maintain momentum in its second week.

At the top of the list is Dhurandhar The Revenge, which leads with a massive Rs. 164 crore second weekend. Drishyam The Conclusion occupies the second spot with Rs. 65 crore, followed by Border 2, which collected Rs. 48.50 crore. Mirzapur The Movie ranks fourth with Rs. 33.01 crore, while Dhamaal 4 rounds off the top five with Rs. 27.79 crore.

The remaining films in the top 10 are Bhooth Bangla with Rs. 26.90 crore, Awarapan 2 with Rs. 21.66 crore, Welcome To The Jungle with Rs. 20.53 crore, Cocktail 2 with Rs. 12.37 crore and Main Vaapas Aaunga with Rs. 12.12 crore.

The ranking highlights the continued box office strength of Drishyam The Conclusion, which has managed to deliver a substantial second weekend amid competition from other major releases. The film's performance also reflects the audience interest surrounding the conclusion to Vijay Salgaonkar's story, with Ajay Devgn reprising one of his most popular roles.

With Rs. 65 crore in its second weekend, Drishyam The Conclusion has secured the second position among 2026 releases in this category. Its subsequent weekday collections will determine how well it can sustain its run and add to its overall box office total.

Top 10 Highest Second Weekend Grossers of 2026 Dhurandhar The Revenge - Rs. 164 cr Drishyam The Conclusion - Rs. 65 cr Border 2 - Rs. 48.50 cr Mirzapur The Movie - Rs. 33.01 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 27.79 cr Bhooth Bangla - Rs. 26.90 cr Awarapan 2 - Rs. 21.66 cr Welcome To The Jungle - Rs. 20.53 cr Cocktail 2 - Rs. 12.37 cr Main Vaapas Aaunga - Rs. 12.12 cr

Drishyam The Conclusion has achieved another major box office milestone, crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark in India nett collections. The Ajay Devgn starrer has collected Rs. 306.72 crore nett at the Indian box office, underlining its strong theatrical run.

The film's India gross collections stand at Rs. 365.14 crore, while its overseas gross has reached Rs. 91.34 crore. Taking its domestic and international business into account, the film's worldwide gross collection stands at Rs. 456.48 crore.

Crossing the Rs. 300 crore nett mark puts Drishyam The Conclusion in an exclusive club of films that have achieved this milestone in India. The achievement is particularly significant for the franchise, which has built a strong following through its suspense-driven storytelling and the popularity of Ajay Devgn's portrayal of Vijay Salgaonkar.

The film's theatrical performance also reflects the audience interest surrounding the conclusion to the story. With its domestic collections continuing to contribute substantially to the overall tally, the film has established itself as a major box office success for the franchise.

The worldwide total of Rs. 456.48 crore further highlights the film's reach beyond the domestic market, with overseas collections adding significantly to its overall business.

With Drishyam The Conclusion now past Rs. 300 crore nett in India and nearing the Rs. 500 crore mark worldwide, its box office journey has reached another significant milestone. The film's final total will determine how much further it can climb in the rankings, but its current numbers have already secured its place among the notable theatrical performers of the year.

Drishyam The Conclusion has significantly outperformed its predecessor, Drishyam 2, across key weekend benchmarks at the Indian box office. The Ajay Devgn starrer collected Rs. 174 crore in its opening weekend and followed it up with Rs. 65 crore in its second weekend, comfortably surpassing the corresponding figures recorded by the 2022 film.

According to Bollywood Hungama's box-office figures, Drishyam 2 had collected Rs. 64.14 crore in its opening weekend and Rs. 104.66 crore by the end of its first week. The film eventually concluded its theatrical run with Rs. 240.54 crore nett in India.

In comparison, Drishyam The Conclusion opened with Rs. 174 crore in its first weekend, substantially higher than the Rs. 64.14 crore collected by Drishyam 2. The latest instalment's opening-week business stood at Rs. 242 crore, more than double the predecessor's first-week total of Rs. 104.66 crore.

The difference has continued into the second weekend. Drishyam The Conclusion collected Rs. 65 crore between October 9 and October 11, with Friday contributing Rs. 14.50 crore, Saturday bringing in Rs. 26.17 crore and Sunday adding Rs. 24.33 crore.

For perspective, Drishyam 2 collected Rs. 39.24 crore in its second weekend, comprising Rs. 7.87 crore on its second Friday, Rs. 14.05 crore on Saturday and Rs. 17.32 crore on Sunday. The latest film's second-weekend business is therefore approximately 65.7% higher than that of its predecessor.

The comparison highlights the considerable increase in the franchise's box-office scale. While Drishyam 2 went on to enjoy a successful theatrical run, Drishyam The Conclusion has registered much bigger numbers in its opening phase and continued to deliver a substantial weekend total in its second week.

With the latest instalment already posting stronger figures across both weekends, its subsequent weekday performance will determine how far it can extend its lead over Drishyam 2 and where it eventually finishes at the Indian box office.

Ajay Devgn starrer Drishyam The Conclusion has crossed the Rs. 400 crore mark at the worldwide box office, adding another major milestone to its theatrical run. The film has collected Rs. 402.91 crore globally, cementing its position among the notable box-office performers of 2026.

The film’s India business continues to be the biggest contributor to its worldwide total. Drishyam The Conclusion has collected Rs. 261.72 crore nett at the domestic box office, with its India gross standing at Rs. 311.57 crore. Overseas markets have contributed Rs. 91.34 crore, taking the film’s worldwide gross to Rs. 402.91 crore.

Crossing the Rs. 400 crore mark is a significant achievement for the Ajay Devgn starrer, particularly as it continues its theatrical run beyond the opening week. The film began its journey on a strong note, collecting Rs. 174 crore in its opening weekend. Its subsequent collections have helped it maintain momentum and push its worldwide tally past the latest milestone.

The film’s performance also underlines the strength of the Drishyam franchise, which has built a sizeable audience over the years through its suspense-driven storytelling and the popularity of its central character, Vijay Salgaonkar. The latest instalment has translated that familiarity into substantial theatrical business, with audiences contributing to its collections across domestic and overseas markets.

With worldwide collections now at Rs. 402.91 crore, Drishyam The Conclusion has moved beyond the Rs. 400 crore milestone. Its next box-office trajectory will depend on how well it sustains collections in the coming days, as the Ajay Devgn starrer continues its run in cinemas.
