Mumbai, November 11, 2026: Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana has delivered an extraordinary opening six-day performance, with its record-breaking Diwali Monday followed by another remarkable Tuesday at the box office. As the Nitesh Tiwari directorial continues its theatrical run, a bigger question is beginning to emerge. Can Ramayana eventually surpass Dhurandhar 2’s lifetime worldwide collection and potentially become one of the rare Indian films to reach ₹2,000 crore globally?
After 6 days, Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana has accumulated ₹526.50 crore India gross and an estimated ₹297.00 crore overseas, taking its worldwide collection to approximately ₹823.50 crore. With the film continuing its pursuit of Dhurandhar 2’s ₹1,813.39 crore lifetime worldwide collection and the ₹2,000 crore milestone, Ramayana has already achieved approximately 45.4% and 41.2% of these respective benchmarks. The Day 6 overseas collection is based on preliminary estimates, and the cumulative worldwide gross remains subject to revision once the final international figures are available.
How Close Is Ramayana to Dhurandhar 2 and ₹2,000 Crore Worldwide?
Ramayana’s progress towards the two worldwide milestones can be tracked through its daily collections and the shrinking gap to each target. The table below will be updated as new collections arrive, showing how much the film has added each day and what remains to surpass Dhurandhar 2 and reach ₹2,000 crore globally.
Note: Dhurandhar 2’s lifetime worldwide gross stands at ₹1,813.39 crore, with ₹1,814 crore used as the rounded target. Ramayana’s daily overseas collections are preliminary estimates subject to revision, and the cumulative worldwide gross and remaining milestone requirements may change once final international figures are available.
Ramayana Overseas Box Office Tracker and Worldwide Target Scenarios
Ramayana’s international performance could play a decisive role in its pursuit of the two worldwide milestones. The daily tracker below shows how overseas earnings are progressing and whether international markets are maintaining their contribution to the film’s worldwide box office.
Note: Overseas collections are preliminary estimates subject to revision. The overseas share is calculated using each day’s cumulative worldwide gross.
If Ramayana maintains its current 63.9% India and 36.1% overseas revenue split, surpassing Dhurandhar 2 would require approximately ₹1,160 crore India gross and ₹654 crore overseas over its lifetime. Reaching ₹2,000 crore worldwide would raise those requirements to roughly ₹1,279 crore and ₹721 crore, respectively. These are hypothetical lifetime projections, not box office forecasts.
What If Overseas Collections Finish Between ₹400 Crore and ₹600 Crore?
Ramayana’s ability to challenge Dhurandhar 2 could increasingly depend on how its overseas markets perform beyond the opening week. The Ranveer Singh blockbuster approached ₹1,500 crore worldwide within its first two weeks, demonstrating how sustained theatrical momentum can transform a film’s lifetime prospects. For Ramayana, stronger international collections would create additional flexibility on the domestic front, potentially allowing it to surpass Dhurandhar 2 worldwide even without matching its India gross.
All figures represent possible final theatrical gross collections, not additional collections required. The actual gross needed to surpass Dhurandhar 2 is slightly below the rounded ₹1,814 crore target used here.
With Ramayana expected to challenge the ₹1,000 crore worldwide milestone by the end of its extended opening week, the bigger question is how quickly it can close the gap with Dhurandhar 2. The Ranveer Singh blockbuster approached ₹1,500 crore worldwide within its first two weeks, demonstrating how strong second-week collections can transform a film’s lifetime prospects. If Ramayana maintains its momentum in India alongside continued overseas support, surpassing Dhurandhar 2 becomes a realistic possibility. Interestingly, with ₹500 crore overseas, Ramayana would need around ₹1,314 crore India gross to achieve that feat, nearly ₹61 crore less than Dhurandhar 2 earned domestically.
Can Ramayana’s South Indian Versions Help It Reach the Worldwide Milestones Faster?
Ramayana’s South Indian versions collected ₹18.10 crore India net on Day 6, taking their six-day total to ₹104.45 crore net, contributing approximately 23.7% of the film’s total domestic net collection of ₹440.45 crore. Their performance remains particularly important because the ₹500 crore overseas scenario would require substantial support from India’s non-Hindi markets to reduce dependence on the Hindi version. The four dubbed versions have already surpassed Dhurandhar 2’s reported ₹68.54 crore lifetime South-language net collection by nearly 52.4%, highlighting their growing importance in Ramayana’s pursuit of the worldwide milestones.
Note: The South Indian versions collected ₹21.40 crore gross on Day 6, taking their cumulative gross to ₹123.25 crore. Remaining amounts are calculated against this total. All scenarios assume ₹500 crore overseas lifetime gross, with South contributions modelled at 15%, 20% and 25% of India’s final gross. These are hypothetical targets, not box office forecasts.
With the South Indian versions contributing approximately 23.4% of Ramayana’s domestic gross so far, the film is currently tracking close to the highest regional-share scenario examined above. Whether that contribution holds over its lifetime will depend on the relative strength of its Hindi and dubbed versions, particularly as the film moves beyond the holiday period.
Is a ₹2,000 Crore Worldwide Finish Within Ramayana’s Reach?
Ramayana has a favourable theatrical window of nearly seven weeks before Shah Rukh Khan’s King arrives on December 24, giving it time to build towards the ₹2,000 crore worldwide milestone. Overseas, Sony Pictures’ wide international distribution could provide further support, particularly if additional markets in East Asia, including China and Japan, receive later releases. With strong domestic holdovers and continued international demand, Ramayana has an opportunity to add substantially to its collections before major year-end competition arrives.
