Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1 is keeping its grip on the box office on its second day. The Ramayana box office collection day 2 live figures show the film has added Rs 16.88 crore net in India so far today, taking its two-day India net total to Rs 81.73 crore and its India gross to Rs 97.42 crore — within touching distance of the Rs 100 crore gross mark in just two days. These are live estimates as of 3:03 PM IST on Friday, 6 November 2026, and the final Day 2 number will only be known tonight, once the evening and night shows report in.
The opening day set the tone. Ramayana earned Rs 64.85 crore net in India on Thursday, 5 November, with an India gross of Rs 77.50 crore from 25,200 shows. That made it Bollywood’s second-biggest non-sequel opener ever, ahead of Ranbir Kapoor’s own Animal. Day 2 was always going to be the real test — a working Friday, with no holiday boost — and the film is passing it with strong holds across languages. Read our full Ramayana box office collection day 1 report for the opening-day breakdown.
Ramayana Box Office Collection Day 2: Live Numbers So Far
According to Sacnilk‘s live tracker, the Ramayana box office collection day 2 figure stands at Rs 16.88 crore net in India as of 3:03 PM IST, collected from 12,754 shows at an overall occupancy of 21.0 percent. The language-wise split tells its own story: Hindi leads with Rs 12.53 crore from 10,898 shows, followed by Kannada at Rs 1.70 crore, Telugu at Rs 1.61 crore, Tamil at Rs 61 lakh and Malayalam at Rs 43 lakh.
Add those to the opening day and the two-day picture looks like this: India net Rs 81.73 crore, India gross Rs 97.42 crore. The worldwide gross after Day 1 stood at Rs 127.50 crore, and with Day 2 collections still flowing in, the film is on course to cross Rs 150 crore worldwide by the end of its second day. Because these are live mid-day estimates, the final Day 2 figure will be higher — Friday evening and night shows traditionally do the heaviest business, and advance booking for the day was already strong.
Hindi Leads, But the South Is Holding Strong
Hindi remains the engine of this film, contributing Rs 60.03 crore — 73.4 percent — of the two-day India net total of Rs 81.73 crore. But the southern versions are punching well above their weight. Kannada has contributed Rs 8.95 crore (11.0 percent), Telugu Rs 7.61 crore (9.3 percent), Tamil Rs 3.21 crore (3.9 percent) and Malayalam Rs 1.93 crore (2.4 percent).
The occupancy numbers explain why. On Day 2, Malayalam shows are running at 48.0 percent occupancy, Tamil at 42.7 percent and Telugu at 39.0 percent — all far ahead of Hindi’s 17.8 percent at the same point in the day. In several southern cities, morning shows in Tamil and Malayalam were running close to full houses, with Pondicherry reporting 99 percent occupancy for Tamil shows. The film was designed as a five-language, pan-India release, and the Day 2 numbers show that bet paying off in every market, not just the Hindi belt.
Day 2 vs Day 1: What the Drop Really Means
A Day 2 live figure of Rs 16.88 crore at 3 PM, against a Day 1 final of Rs 64.85 crore, looks like a steep fall at first glance — but that comparison is misleading. Day 1 was a full day’s final total, boosted by a pre-Diwali Thursday holiday mood and more than 25,000 shows. Day 2’s number is a partial, mid-afternoon snapshot from fewer than 13,000 shows reported so far, with the biggest shows of the day still to come.
What matters more is the trend. Morning shows of Hindi (3D) ran at 14.7 percent occupancy and Hindi (2D) at 12.2 percent, with Chennai, Bengaluru, Jaipur and Hyderabad leading. Those are healthy working-day morning numbers for a film of this scale, and they point to a final Day 2 total in the region of Rs 35–40 crore net, which would put the two-day India net comfortably past Rs 100 crore. The film’s huge opening-day advance booking — around Rs 50 crore gross — also means a large share of Day 1’s audience had already bought tickets before release, so a softer Day 2 was expected by the trade.
Records Ramayana Has Already Broken
Even before its second day is complete, Ramayana: Part 1 has rewritten the record books. Its opening day of Rs 64.85 crore net made it Bollywood’s second-biggest non-sequel opener, narrowly passing Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, with only Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan still ahead of it. It is also the first film since 2023 to enter the all-time Top 5 openers.
For Ranbir Kapoor, it is the biggest opening of his career, beating Animal’s Rs 63 crore. The film also opened bigger than Pathaan’s Rs 57 crore, though it trails Adipurush (Rs 86.75 crore), Jawan (Rs 75 crore) and Dhurandhar 2 (Rs 102 crore) on the overall opening-day list. With a reported budget of around Rs 1,600 crore, the film has a long road ahead — but an opening of this size, plus a strong second day, gives it the platform it needs. Bollywood Hungama also tracks the film’s daily box office performance.
The Weekend Ahead: Day 3 Advance Booking at Rs 35.97 Crore
The real prize is the weekend. Advance booking for Saturday, 7 November — Day 3 — already stands at Rs 35.97 crore gross as of 2:00 PM IST today, according to Sacnilk. That is a huge advance figure for a single day, and it suggests Saturday could be the film’s biggest day yet, with Diwali falling just days away and families heading to cinemas over the long weekend.
Trade watchers had earlier predicted an extended four-day pre-Diwali weekend of Rs 225–240 crore net in India. Day 1 fell slightly short of the loftiest expectations, which has raised questions about whether that target is still reachable. But with a Rs 35.97 crore Saturday advance already in the bank and Sunday yet to open fully, the film has every chance of getting close — and a strong Saturday would settle the debate quickly.
What Audiences and Critics Are Saying
The box office is being driven by audiences, not just hype. Viewers have rated Ramayana: Part 1 at 9.4 out of 10 on BookMyShow and 8.7 on IMDb, while critics have been more measured — Sacnilk’s critics’ score stands at 76 out of 100, with some questions raised about the pacing and the music. That gap between audience love and critical caution is familiar for big event films, and so far the audience verdict is winning at the ticket counter.
The film’s scale is its biggest talking point: a 3-hour-15-minute epic, certified U, shot for IMAX and 3D, with music by A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer. Director Nitesh Tiwari has said Part 1 covers the early life and trials of Prince Rama, with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Part 2, which was earlier planned for Diwali 2027, has now been confirmed to move to 2028.
Ramayana Part 1: Cast, Story and Where to Watch
For those yet to watch it, Ramayana: Part 1 is playing in cinemas in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, in 2D, 3D and IMAX. The story follows Prince Rama, the righteous heir of Ayodhya, through the early trials of his life, building toward the confrontation with Ravana. There is no OTT release date announced yet — the film is a theatrical exclusive for now, and given the scale of its opening, the makers are in no hurry to announce one.
The bottom line after two days is simple: a Rs 64.85 crore opening, a solid second day, nearly Rs 100 crore gross in India already, and a Saturday advance booking of Rs 35.97 crore. The final Day 2 number arrives tonight, but Ramayana has already proved it is the biggest box office event of the year.
