Ranveer Singh Rules the Box Office as Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Fails to Surpass Dhurandhar: The Revenge’s Opening Weekend Numbers

Ranveer Singh continues to hold the box-office throne, with his Dhurandhar: The Revenge maintaining an impressive lead over Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana – Part I. Despite being one of the biggest and most ambitious cinematic projects, Ramayana has failed to surpass the first four-day India net collections of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, reaffirming Ranveer’s unmatched box-office benchmark.

Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has collected Rs. 238.85 crores nett at the Indian box office in its first four days. Released on Thursday, November 5, the much-awaited mythological epic opened at Rs. 64.85 crores, followed by Rs. 48.05 crores on Friday. Collections witnessed a strong jump on Saturday, reaching Rs. 69.80 crores, before dropping to Rs. 56.15 crores on Sunday, November 8, which coincided with Diwali and Lakshmi Puja.

In comparison, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge delivered a phenomenal first four days, collecting Rs. 411.12 crores nett in India, excluding paid previews, and Rs. 454.12 crores nett, including previews. The film opened with Rs. 102.55 crores on Day 1, followed by Rs. 80.72 crores on Day 2. It witnessed a massive surge over the weekend, collecting Rs. 113 crores on Saturday and Rs. 114.85 crores on Sunday, taking its four-day total well past the Rs. 400 crore mark.

The comparison becomes even more noteworthy considering the scale and circumstances surrounding both releases. Despite Ramayana being mounted on a reported massive budget of over Rs. 4,000 crores, it has not been able to match the first-weekend numbers of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, a film made on a comparatively modest budget of over Rs. 250 crores. Adding to Dhurandhar 2’s remarkable achievement is the fact that its box-office run did not include Gulf collections, which could have further contributed significantly to its worldwide earnings.

Another important distinction is the film’s certification. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is an A-rated film, while Ramayana has received a U certificate, giving the latter a wider audience accessibility. Yet, despite these differences, Ranveer Singh’s film has delivered substantially higher numbers in its first four days.

With Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh has further cemented his position as one of the most formidable box-office forces in Indian cinema. He is also the actor who founded the Rs. 1,000 crore Hindi net club with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, setting a benchmark that has become a significant milestone for the industry.

As another big-ticket release enters the box-office race, Ranveer’s numbers continue to underline the scale of his theatrical pull. From record-breaking openings to extraordinary weekend collections and historic milestones, the actor continues to set the benchmark, with Dhurandhar: The Revenge standing tall as a box-office phenomenon that remains difficult to match.
