Mumbai, November 11, 2026: Ramayana has created another major box office record, becoming the first Hindi-origin film to cross 100 crore India net through its South Indian dubbed versions. The Nitesh Tiwari directorial achieved the milestone in just six days, collecting over 104 crore net from its Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam versions. More remarkably, the film has already surpassed the lifetime South dubbed collections of major Bollywood releases, including Dhurandhar 2, War 2, Jawan and Animal.
The achievement highlights a significant shift in the commercial reach of Hindi cinema. While Bollywood films have traditionally struggled to generate substantial collections from South Indian dubbed versions, Ramayana has benefited from its multilingual release strategy and Yash‘s popularity, particularly in Karnataka. The four dubbed versions have contributed approximately 23.7% of the film’s 440.45 crore India net collection through Day 6, making the southern languages an important part of its nationwide success.
Ramayana South Indian Dubbed Box Office Collection After 6 Days
Kannada has emerged as Ramayana’s strongest South Indian language version, followed by Telugu. Its performance in Tamil and Malayalam is also noteworthy, considering the competition from regional releases during the Diwali period. The contribution across all four languages has helped the film establish a new benchmark for Hindi-origin productions seeking a genuine pan-Indian theatrical audience.
Ramayana Surpasses Lifetime South Dubbed Collections of Major Bollywood Films
The comparison becomes particularly interesting when considering Adipurush, which collected more than 130 crore net in Telugu alone. However, Adipurush was produced as a Hindi-Telugu bilingual, meaning its Telugu earnings cannot be classified as dubbed-language collections. Excluding Telugu, its Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam versions together contributed approximately 6.95 crore net. This distinction makes Ramayana’s achievement unique among the major Hindi-origin films tracked by Sacnilk.
Beyond the immediate record, Ramayana’s success could encourage Bollywood producers to reconsider the theatrical potential of South Indian language versions. Its strong performance demonstrates that a Hindi-origin film can generate substantial regional business when its casting, scale and audience appeal extend beyond the traditional Hindi market. With the film continuing its theatrical run and the Bhai Dooj holiday providing another opportunity for growth, the South dubbed total is expected to rise further. Stay tuned for further box office updates.
Note: The comparison covers India net collections from South Indian dubbed languages. Ramayana’s figures are through six days, while the other films’ figures represent their completed theatrical runs.
