Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's epic film sees soaring demand, leading to unprecedented midnight screenings across major cities.
The highly anticipated film Ramayana: Part One, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, is making waves at the Indian box office, with reports indicating a potential record-breaking day. As of Monday, November 9, 2026, the film is on track to achieve a remarkable Rs. 100 crore nett collection, driven by an explosive performance in key circuits.
According to Pinkvilla, the film opened with a strong start and is expected to surpass Rs. 90 crore nett by the end of the day. The Hindi belt circuits, particularly in North India, are witnessing a significant surge in ticket sales, with projections indicating that the film could collect close to Rs. 20 crore nett in the Delhi-UP region alone.
However, the film’s performance in South India is anticipated to be lower, with estimates suggesting a collection of Rs. 9-10 crore. Despite this, the overall collections, including dubbed versions, are set to exceed Rs. 100 crore nett, with the South-dubbed versions expected to contribute over Rs. 20 crore.
In response to the overwhelming demand, cinemas across major cities are adding an unprecedented number of midnight shows. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, cities such as Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad are experiencing a surge in late-night screenings, with some theatres offering shows as late as 4:50 am. This is a notable shift from the typical practice of adding midnight shows only during the first weekend of a major release.
The film, which debuted on November 5, 2026, just before Diwali, faced initial capacity issues due to the holiday rush. However, with the festive season now in full swing, audiences are flocking to cinemas, prompting exhibitors to extend showtimes significantly.
As the film continues to break records and attract audiences, it remains to be seen how its box office performance will unfold in the coming days. The excitement surrounding Ramayana: Part One is palpable, and its success is a testament to the film’s appeal and the star power of its cast.
