Director Nitesh Tiwari's blockbuster film, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, has broken post-Diwali Monday records by earning Rs 126 crore gross in India on Day 5, surpassing Dhurandhar 2's first-Monday collections. With a worldwide gross of Rs 663.90 crore after five days, the epic drama starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi is now aiming to become one of India's rare films to hit Rs 2,000 crore globally. To achieve this milestone, Ramayana needs an estimated Rs 717 crore more from India and Rs 433 crore internationally from Day 6 onwards, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. The film's regional versions in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam have already surpassed the lifetime nett contribution of Dhurandhar 2's dubbed versions, lowering the pressure on the Hindi belt. The film's sequel, scheduled for Diwali 2028, will feature Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, who was introduced in the post-credits scene of the first instalment released on November 5, 2026.
