Ramayana Box Office: Can It Beat Dhurandhar 2 To Record Bollywood’s Highest Day 1 Pre-Sales In India?
Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, is all set for its grand theatrical release on November 5, 2026. Mounted on a colossal budget, it is the most expensive Indian film to date. While many consider it a risky affair given the expenses involved, the sky is the limit at the box office if the content clicks with audiences. With advance bookings opening on October 20, one expects it to challenge the record-holder Dhurandhar 2. Keep reading for a detailed report!
Ramayana targets big start at the Indian box office
The Bollywood magnum opus is arriving in the pre-Diwali period, which is generally considered a bit of a dull phase for Bollywood movies from a box-office point of view, but, of course, there are exceptions. Despite releasing in a traditionally dull period, the film is expected to open with thunderous collections, given the anticipation around its release. So, everyone is excited to see how it performs in pre-sales.
Dhurandhar 2’s day 1 pre-sales might remain unbeaten
As of now, Dhurandhar 2 holds the record for the highest day 1 advance bookings for a Bollywood film at the Indian box office. Backed by tremendous hype, the Ranveer Singh starrer grossed 52.35 crore from pre-sales alone, which doesn’t count premiere sales. This number is very tough to overcome, and Ramayana looks like the only film that can challenge it in the near future.

Considering the pre-Diwali period and the lack of a sequel advantage, Ramayana might just fall short of beating Dhurandhar 2’s opening-day pre-sales in India. Of course, big numbers are expected, but crossing the 50 crore mark and overtaking Dhurandhar 2 looks like a big task. Nevertheless, never say never! Exciting times lie ahead!
