Ramayana: Part 1 Hits ₹511 Crore Net in 7 Days, Trailing Only Dhurandhar 2

Seven days. That is all it took.

Director Nitesh Tiwari's epic Ramayana: Part 1, which rolled into theatres on November 5, stormed past the ₹500 crore domestic nett milestone within its opening week. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led production piled up ₹511.10 crore in India net receipts over its first seven days, securing the second-fastest sprint to the half-thousand crore club in Indian cinema history.

Only one film sits ahead of it on the domestic speed charts: Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge.

Inside the Six-Day and Seven-Day Sprint

The Ranveer Singh-fronted Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge retains the throne as the undisputed king of opening-week velocity. That spy tentpole breached the ₹500 crore barrier in six days flat, minting ₹545.04 crore in domestic net collections when it touched the milestone. Ramayana: Part 1 missed matching that historical sprint by roughly twenty-four hours, though it pocketed a colossal ₹511.10 crore to shut down any debate about its theatrical staying power.

On the international circuit, the epic shifted gears even faster. The mythological spectacle roared past ₹500 crore in worldwide gross collections in just four days, establishing itself among 2026's top-earning global releases. While worldwide gross figures capture foreign tickets and domestic entertainment taxes, the core trade measuring tape remains domestic nett—and there, the film delivered an opening statement.

Rewriting the All-Time Box Office Hierarchy

By vaulting to ₹511.10 crore in a single week, Ramayana: Part 1 flattened records set by some of the most durable commercial powerhouses of the modern era.

Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule sits in third place on the speed leaderboard, needing 11 days to breach the ₹500 crore net threshold exclusively through its Hindi-dubbed release, accumulating ₹552.10 crore in that version at the marker. The first installment of Dhurandhar required 16 days to amass ₹517.25 crore for the fourth slot, while Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan took 18 days to rack up ₹505.94 crore in fifth position.

Every other titan lagged further behind. Horror-comedy Stree 2 needed 22 days to touch the sum. Historical epic Chhaava demanded 23 days. Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 took 24 days, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan took 28 days, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion took 34 days, and Ranbir Kapoor's own 2023 release Animal required 39 days to scale the same financial wall.

With week two kicking off without direct theatrical competition, trade attention turns to whether Ramayana: Part 1 can maintain its stride and challenge Dhurandhar 2's lifetime domestic totals.
