Mumbai, November 11, 2026: Diwali 2026 has delivered a major box office boost for Indian cinema, with Namit Malhotra's Ramayana and Suriya's Scene combining for an estimated 1100+ crore worldwide gross. Released just a day apart, the two films have capitalised on the festive season to attract substantial theatrical audiences across domestic and international markets. Their simultaneous success has made the holiday period particularly rewarding for both Bollywood and Kollywood.
Ramayana has been the primary contributor, benefiting from its multilingual release, widespread family appeal and solid Diwali holiday turnout. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial witnessed its biggest surge after the opening weekend, demonstrating how favourable holiday scheduling can extend a film's initial momentum. Scene, meanwhile, has established a strong theatrical presence through Suriya's popularity, particularly in Tamil Nadu and overseas. Its overseas performance has also been significant, reflecting the international reach of Tamil cinema.
