₹1,000 crore in 8 days! Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana beats Dhurandhar 2 in a box-office twist

Crore storm

₹1,000 crore in just eight days! Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana: Part One has stormed into the elite box-office club, collecting ₹1,033.55 crore worldwide since its November 5 release. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Nitesh Tiwari directorial has become the third-fastest Indian film to achieve the milestone. Only Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2 reached it faster, taking seven days each. But the film's extraordinary run has another surprise: its performance during the Diwali holidays.

Dhurandhar challenge

Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana has reportedly surpassed the eight-day worldwide collection of Dhurandhar 2, but there's an interesting twist! While Ramayana entered the ₹1,000-crore club on its eighth day, Dhurandhar 2 achieved the same milestone in just seven days. The Aditya Dhar film eventually collected ₹1,813.39 crore globally, according to The Telegraph. With Ramayana already at ₹1,033.55 crore, can the mythological epic challenge one of Hindi cinema's biggest box-office successes?

Diwali explosion

A single-day collection of ₹107.50 crore! Ramayana witnessed a spectacular box-office surge on November 9, its fifth day in theatres, when domestic nett earnings jumped approximately 91.5% from Sunday's ₹56.15 crore. According to Sacnilk figures, the film opened at ₹64.85 crore, dipped to ₹48.05 crore on Friday and recovered over the weekend. Its Monday performance became its biggest single-day collection during the first eight days. But the film's domestic earnings reveal an even bigger milestone.

Record avalanche

₹564.60 crore nett in India and ₹358.50 crore from overseas markets in just eight days! Ramayana has already overtaken the lifetime domestic nett collections of Animal and Pathaan, according to trade figures. Starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, the film is the first instalment of an ambitious two-part franchise. The second part is scheduled for Diwali 2028. But with the first film rewriting box-office records, how far can its worldwide collection climb?
