Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has continued its strong run at the box office, setting several new records in its opening week. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the epic saga picked up pace over the extended Diwali weekend and delivered an impressive Monday collection. From surpassing Pushpa 2's Hindi single-day record to setting new ticket-selling benchmarks, the film has made its mark at the box office.

Beats Pushpa 2's Hindi single-day collection

On Monday, November 9, Ramayana collected Rs 87.25 crore net in Hindi, while its total collection across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam stood at Rs 107.50 crore. With this, the film entered the list of the five highest Hindi single-day earners, taking the fourth position.


The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer surpassed Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2, which had earned Rs 85 crore net in Hindi on its first Sunday. The top three positions in the list, however, continue to be dominated by Dhurandhar 2, according to Sacnilk.

The film achieved another milestone by crossing 1.40 lakh ticket sales in a single hour.
