Ramayana Box Office Collection Day 2: Ranbir Kapoor Starrer Crosses Rs 100 Crore Club Despite A Dip
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash starrer Ramayana enters the Rs 100 crore club on its second day at the box office, though it continues to lag behind Adipurush.
Published 6 November 2026
Introduction To The Grand Epic
The mythological epic Ramayana has captured widespread attention ever since its initial announcement. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the movie stands out as one of the most expensive projects in Indian cinema history.
The film features a star-studded lead cast comprising Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. Furthermore, it marks the first time Ranbir collaborates professionally with both Yash and Sai Pallavi on the big screen.
High Stakes And Co-Production Roles
This cinematic venture serves as Ranbir Kapoor's return to theaters following a three-year hiatus. Consequently, expectations and stakes are exceptionally high for the lead actors involved.
Yash carries a particularly heavy burden of responsibility for the project. Aside from essaying the character of Raavan, Yash also acts as a co-producer for Ramayana.
Advance Booking And Opening Day Figures
Before its theatrical rollout, the feature successfully raked in Rs 50.08 crore purely through advance booking collections. Despite this promising start, the film opened to a mixed reception from both critics and general audiences.
Initial projections anticipated a domestic opening exceeding Rs 100 crore. However, the film experienced an underwhelming start on day one, pulling in Rs 64.85 crore at the box office.
Beating Past Major Releases On Day One
Even with a somewhat modest opening compared to early forecasts, the feature managed to outperform several notable industry hits. Specifically, its opening day figures surpassed those of big titles like Animal, Pathaan, Jailer 2, and Stree 2.
Despite beating those major box office contenders, the film fell short of matching the massive opening day collection set by the Prabhas starrer Adipurush.
Day Two Performance And Language Breakdown
According to reports published by Sacnilk, the mythological drama successfully entered the Rs 100 crore club on its second day. This milestone was achieved despite a 25.9 percent drop in earnings compared to the first day.
On day two, the movie collected Rs 48.05 crore across India. This total included Rs 35.5 crore from the Hindi version, Rs 5.15 crore from Kannada, Rs 4.75 crore from Telugu, Rs 1.5 crore from Tamil, and Rs 1.15 crore from Malayalam.
Comparison With Adipurush On Day Two
Even after crossing the major Rs 100 crore cumulative mark, Adipurush remained out of reach for this newer epic on the second day. To put it in perspective, the Prabhas starrer had previously earned Rs 65.25 crore on its own second day of release.
This ongoing performance gap has left fans of Prabhas delighted. Many took to the micro-blogging site Twitter to voice their thoughts and celebrate the comparison.
Audience Reactions And Social Media Buzz
Social media platforms quickly filled with contrasting viewer opinions regarding the massive budgets and box office returns. One Twitter user pointed out that a film worth Rs 4,000 crore outspent Adipurush, which was valued between Rs 500 and Rs 700 crore, yet the opening day figures completely altered the dynamic, noting that records require winning people's hearts rather than just investing money.
Another user shared a surprising sentiment on the micro-blogging platform, tweeting that after watching Ramayana, they never thought they would say Adipurush does not look that bad anymore.
News Overview
