Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Opens At Rs 45 Crore, 2nd Only To Animal
Ramayana Part One opens around Rs 45 crore nett on Day 1, becoming Ranbir Kapoor's second-biggest Hindi opener behind Animal's Rs 51 crore.
Ramayana Part One has given Ranbir Kapoor the second-biggest opening day of his career at the Hindi box office. The film collected around Rs 45 crore nett on day one, according to trade estimates.
The start places the mythological drama just behind Animal, which continues to lead with Rs 51 crore nett. It also reshuffles a ranking that had remained familiar for years, pushing Sanju to third place.
Ranbir’s top ten first days
The updated list shows how consistently the actor has opened films across genres.
- Animal – Rs 51 crore
- Ramayana Part One – Rs 45 crore
- Sanju – Rs 34.75 crore
- Brahmastra – Rs 31.50 crore
- Besharam – Rs 21.50 crore
- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – Rs 19.50 crore
- Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar – Rs 15 crore
- Ae Dil Hai Mushkil – Rs 13.25 crore
- Tamasha – Rs 11 crore
- Raajneeti – Rs 10 crore
The gap between first and second place is only Rs 6 crore, while the distance from Ramayana to Sanju is over Rs 10 crore. That makes this opening a clear number-two rather than a close contest with the rest of the field.
Two things stand out. First, Animal remains untouched at the top. Second, the lower half of the list still has titles from very different phases of Ranbir’s career, which shows how varied his box-office record is.
Why an opening day matters
Opening-day numbers are a test of anticipation. They measure the audience that turns up before reviews and word of mouth can shape a film’s run. For a star like Ranbir Kapoor, a high first day signals that his name and the project’s scale can pull people into theatres immediately.
The Rs 45 crore figure is a nett collection, the trade’s preferred way of counting box office after entertainment tax is removed. Early estimates of this kind are often updated as final numbers come in, so the exact figure may move slightly in the next few days.
What comes next
Ranbir’s next big release, Love & War, is scheduled for January 2027. Its opening day will be judged against this list from the first morning shows.
If Love & War opens above Rs 45 crore, Ramayana Part One will move down one place. If it doesn’t, this mythological epic will hold on to the second spot for the foreseeable future. For now, the top ten is a reminder that Ranbir has opened everything from romantic dramas to biopics, action films and now a mythological spectacle.
