Mumbai, November 14, 2026: Namit Malhotra's Ramayana has added another major achievement to its remarkable theatrical run, establishing a new second Friday box office record in Indian cinema. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial has surpassed the previous all-language benchmark held by Dhurandhar 2, while securing second place among the biggest second Fridays in Hindi. The performance is particularly significant as the film has entered its second week following an extraordinary Diwali-driven opening period, with audience demand continuing beyond the festive holidays.
Ramayana collected 48 crore India net across five languages on Friday, November 13, overtaking Dhurandhar 2's previous benchmark of 42 crore. The achievement reflects the film's ability to sustain strong theatrical business even after the initial holiday advantage had faded. Its Hindi version remained the principal contributor, while the Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam versions collectively added over 11 crore net, providing the crucial advantage in the nationwide comparison.
Mumbai, November 13, 2026: Kannada superstar Yash has added another significant achievement to his career, joining Shah Rukh Khan, Prabhas and Ranveer Singh among leading Indian actors with multiple 1000 crore worldwide grossers. The milestone comes following the phenomenal success of Namit Malhotra's Ramayana, which entered the prestigious club on its eighth theatrical day. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial has now given Yash his second film in the category, following the historic success of KGF Chapter 2.
