Ramayana box office collection day 6 (updated live): Ranbir Kapoor, Yash film sees another manic day, beats Dhurandhar 2 as it races past ₹429 crore
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
After what was the best Monday in Indian cinema history, Ramayana has refused to slow down. The Nitesh Tiwari movie is galloping towards another record-breaking day on Tuesday, courtesy of the Bhai Dooj holiday. The movie is projected to cross ₹ 400 crore rupees on its sixth day, setting itself up for a massive opening week.
Adding to this, Yash plays Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana. Ramayana ticket-window update Ramayana began with a ₹ 64.85 crore rupees opening day, a low figure given the movie’s scale. It then fell slightly before recovering, ending its opening weekend at ₹ 239 crore rupees net in India. On Monday, as the festivities ended but the holidays remained, Ramayana broke several records on its way to a staggering ₹ 107 crore rupees haul in India.
Meanwhile, On Tuesday, the story is similar. After Govardhan Pooja on Monday, it’s Bhai Dooj on Tuesday that has sustained the movie’s breakneck pace. Advance booking is indicative of that. Ramayana sold over 11 lakh tickets in pre-sales for Tuesday, grossing over ₹ 40 crore rupees.
Notably, On Tuesday, Ramayana minted ₹ 94.10 crore rupees net in India, storming past the ₹ 400-crore rupees mark and taking its domestic haul to ₹ 440.45 crore rupees . The surge is being driven largely by the Hindi version of the movie, which accounts for almost 85% of total earnings. Despite Yash’s presence as Ravana, the Kannada version hasn’t quite broken the bank.
As per the latest buzz, On Monday, Ramayana was selling 1.40 lakh tickets per hour on BookMyShow around noon, the highest since the platform started keeping records post-pandemic. The movie delivered another stellar performance on Tuesday, reaching the 95k-tickets-per-hour mark around 1 PM.
In further updates, On Monday, Ramayana collected ₹ 107 crore rupees net in India, the best Monday for an Indian movie. Notably, it beat the Hindi cinema record of Dhurandhar The Revenge, which collected ₹ 60 crore rupees net on its first Monday earlier this year. On Tuesday, the Ranbir Kapoor -starrer outpaced Dhurandhar 2 yet again. The Aditya Dhar movie had collected ₹ 56 crore rupees net on its first Tuesday, a mark that Ramayana easily surpassed by 5 PM.
On top of that, Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is the first part of a duology. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman. The first part rolled out worldwide on November 5, 2026, while the second part is set for rollout on Diwali 2028.
