Riding an extraordinary wave of festive audience turnout, director Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological spectacle Ramayana: Part 1—headlined by Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman—has rewritten Hindi box office history in just ten days. Released during the Diwali holiday corridor on November 5, 2026, and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the big-screen adaptation surged by over 51 percent on its second Saturday (Day 10, November 14), raking in ₹72.90 crore net in India and over ₹117 crore worldwide in a single day. According to trade tracking cited by Bollywood Hungama, that massive Saturday jump pushed Ramayana: Part 1’s 10-day worldwide gross to ₹1,224.55 crore (with Sacnilk pegging the 10-day global tally even higher at ₹1,228 crore), enabling the film to overtake the entire lifetime global collections of five iconic Hindi blockbusters—including the career-best hits of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, alongside Ranbir Kapoor’s own 2023 blockbuster Animal. For cinemagoers, multiplex exhibitors, and film trade analysts across Mumbai, New Delhi, Lucknow, Noida, Kanpur, Varanasi, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata, Ramayana: Part 1 has firmly established itself as the defining theatrical event of the season.

Five All-Time Hindi Blockbusters Overtaken by Ramayana in 10 Days

With ₹1,224.55 crore in worldwide gross collections inside its first ten days, Ramayana: Part 1 has moved past five landmark Hindi-language releases on the all-time global box office chart:

Notably, by crossing Jawan (₹1,148.32 crore), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (₹918.18 crore), and Secret Superstar (₹875.78 crore) in its second weekend, Ranbir Kapoor’s epic has outperformed top-grossing releases headlined by all three reigning Bollywood Khans—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan—while also eclipsing Animal (₹917.82 crore) to become the highest-grossing film of Kapoor's career. Across India, the film’s 10-day net total has reached ₹685.60 crore (₹819.50 crore India gross), powered by ₹527.25 crore net from the Hindi version alongside strong dubbed contributions in Kannada (₹57.35 crore), Telugu (₹44.90 crore), Tamil (₹29.65 crore), and Malayalam (₹26.45 crore).

Only Three Hindi Films Now Stand Ahead of Ramayana Worldwide

Following its Day 10 surge, only three Hindi-language films remain ahead of Ramayana: Part 1 on the all-time worldwide box office leaderboard—led by Aamir Khan’s sports drama Dangal and both installments of Ranveer Singh’s spy-action franchise Dhurandhar:

1. Dangal (2016): ₹1,968.30 crore worldwide lifetime gross.

2. Dhurandhar: The Revenge / Part 2 (2026): ₹1,852.44 crore worldwide lifetime gross.

3. Dhurandhar / Part 1 (2025): ₹1,350.83 crore worldwide lifetime gross.

4. Ramayana: Part 1 (2026): ₹1,224.55 crore worldwide gross in 10 days.

With second-Sunday advance bookings pointing toward another ₹50-crore-plus domestic day, Ramayana: Part 1 is well positioned to overtake Dhurandhar Part 1 (₹1,350.83 crore) within days, though catching Dhurandhar Part 2 (₹1,852.44 crore) and Dangal (₹1,968.30 crore) will depend on sustained weekday holds in Week 3.
