Ranveer Singh Remains the Benchmark as Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s Week 1 Collections Stay Ahead of Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana!

Every big film arriving in cinemas this year has, in some way, been measured against Ranveer Singh and the phenomenal benchmarks set by Dhurandhar: The Revenge. From opening-day records to first-week collections, the film established milestones that have become the benchmark for subsequent big-ticket releases. Now, with Ramayana Part 1 completing its first week, the comparison once again puts Ranveer Singh ahead.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge had collected an extraordinary ₹674.17 crore in India net collections and ₹807.29 crore in India gross collections in its first week. In comparison, Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Part 1 recorded ₹511.10 crore in India net collections and ₹611.05 crore in India gross collections. Despite its scale and massive expectations, Ramayana could not surpass the first-week benchmark set by Ranveer Singh’s film.

What makes Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s achievement even more remarkable is the circumstances under which it delivered these numbers. The film released without the Gulf market, carried an A certificate and was made on a comparatively controlled budget of approximately ₹250–300 crore. In contrast, Ramayana is mounted on a significantly larger reported budget, with its two-part saga estimated at around ₹4,000 crore.

Interestingly, the comparison between the two films began right from their opening days, with Ramayana also failing to surpass Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s historic Day 1 collection. Now, even after its first week, the film has been unable to cross the benchmark established by Ranveer.

This further reinforces how Dhurandhar: The Revenge has become the film to beat in 2026. Every major release is being measured against its achievements, and Ranveer Singh continues to set the box-office standard that others are chasing.
