Ramayana – Part I Box Office: Film collects Rs. 230.32 crores in opening weekend; emerges the second biggest opener of 2026
Ramayana – Part I has done what the biggest films of a year are supposed to do: it has changed the conversation. The Ranbir Kapoor starrer, which released on November 5, 2026, has collected Rs. 230.32 crores gross over its opening weekend, and with that it has firmly placed itself as the second biggest weekend opener of the year, behind only Dhurandhar The Revenge.
The film started with Rs. 62.47 crores on its opening day, and the numbers kept building over the rest of the weekend, adding Rs. 167.85 crores more. That kind of growth only happens when audiences who came on day one go back and tell their friends and families that this one is worth the ticket.
Dhurandhar The Revenge, which released on March 19, remains the benchmark for 2026 with Rs. 443 crores. Ramayana is some distance away from it, as the film nearly doubled Ramayana’s figure, but being the only film this year to come within shouting distance of that kind of number says a lot about how strongly it has connected.
The rest of the year’s releases now look quite far behind. Drishyam The Conclusion, which arrived on October 2 only a month ago, had a strong weekend of Rs. 174 crores, and Ramayana has gone past it by Rs. 56.32 crores, a lead of nearly one third. Border 2, which marked the year’s beginning in January with Rs. 129.89 crores is behind by over Rs. 100 crores, which means Ramayana has collected almost 1.8 times its opening weekend. Toxic, which opened to Rs. 116.48 crores in August, has been left behind by Rs. 113.84 crores, so Ramayana has come close to doubling it.
The gap widens further when you look at the others. Mirzapur – The Movie collected Rs. 90.95 crores in September and Awarapan 2 managed Rs. 81.50 crores in August. Dhamaal 4 opened to Rs. 64.35 crores in July, while Welcome To The Jungle had Rs. 63.47 crores in June, which is just about what Ramayana collected on its first day alone. Bhooth Bangla, which started off the summer in April with Rs. 54.50 crores, completes this picture. Ramayana’s weekend is more than four times that figure.
Now the film moves into its first week, where the weekday numbers will show how well the love of the weekend holds up. If it does, Ramayana could well be remembered not just as the second biggest opener of 2026, but as the film that kept the year’s second half roaring.
