With all of these achievements, Ramayana has become the highest-grossing film of Ranbir Kapoor’s career. It has surpassed Kapoor’s previous career-best, Animal, to top the list.
Despite the strong box office performance and worldwide collection, Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana is still trailing behind Ranveer Singh’s , more prominently in the Hindi market.
According to a report by Sacnilk, the key difference between Ramayana and Dhurandhar 2 lies in the audience base and the way their collections are distributed across languages.
-starrer Dhurandhar 2 benefited from the advantage of an established franchise. The first instalment built substantial anticipation and a fan base for its sequel. As a result, the success of the prequel translated into strong opening-day demand, which was further boosted by paid preview shows.
Ramayana, on the other hand, has a more geographically diverse box office performance. It also has a sizeable contribution coming from its South Indian language versions.
Over its first nine days, the Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam versions collectively generated ₹139.20 crore net, accounting for nearly 22.7% of its total India net collection of ₹612.45 crore. Hindi contributed ₹473.25 crore, or 77.3% of the domestic total. While the strong performance of the southern versions has helped the film’s performance, its Hindi-language performance remains a separate measure when compared with Dhurandhar 2.
Ramayana still has days to catch up with Dhurandhar 2’s lifetime collection of ₹1,813.39.
