Ramayana gave it everything on the post-Diwali Monday, but Dhurandhar 2 still holds the crown. Dhurandhar 2’s Day 4 remains the biggest single day ever for a Bollywood film in India, and it’s still the only film to collect over ₹100 Cr nett in Hindi in a single day.
Ramayana’s Day 5 came close in overall numbers, but fell well short in Hindi, even with 3D charges included.
The Head-to-Head
All-India Single Day (Gross)
Dhurandhar 2 (Day 4): ₹128.57 Cr
Ramayana (Day 5): ₹126.79 Cr
Across all languages, the two days are almost neck and neck, with Dhurandhar 2 ahead by just under ₹2 Cr.
The Hindi Gap
The real difference is in the Hindi version.
Hindi Version, Single Day (Gross)
Dhurandhar 2: ₹120.26 Cr
Ramayana: ₹104.13 Cr (including 3D charges)
Dhurandhar 2’s Hindi version collected over ₹16 Cr more than Ramayana’s on their biggest days. That’s why Dhurandhar 2 crossed ₹100 Cr nett in Hindi, while Ramayana didn’t, even with its 3D charges.
More Tickets for Dhurandhar 2
The gap is even clearer in footfalls. Dhurandhar 2’s Hindi version sold over 31.3 lakh tickets in a day, about 6 lakh more than Ramayana’s 25.3 lakh, despite Ramayana running more shows.
Hindi Version: Tickets and Shows
Dhurandhar 2: 31,32,462 tickets, 19,080 shows, ATP ₹384
Ramayana: 25,28,345 tickets, 20,624 shows, ATP ₹412
Ramayana’s higher ticket prices, boosted by 3D charges, helped narrow the gross gap, but fewer people turned up for its Hindi version.
Where Ramayana Wins: The South
Ramayana closed most of the overall gap thanks to its South Indian versions, which performed far better than Dhurandhar 2’s.
Other Languages, Single Day (Gross)
- Kannada: Ramayana ₹8.40 Cr | Dhurandhar 2 no release
- Telugu: Ramayana ₹7.10 Cr | Dhurandhar 2 ₹5.42 Cr
- Tamil: Ramayana ₹4.34 Cr | Dhurandhar 2 ₹2.76 Cr
- Malayalam: Ramayana ₹2.82 Cr | Dhurandhar 2 ₹13.53 L
Together, Ramayana’s South versions brought in around ₹22.7 Cr on the day, nearly three times Dhurandhar 2’s ₹8.3 Cr.
The Record Stands
So the final verdict is clear. Ramayana had a massive post-Diwali Monday, with strong numbers across every language. But in Hindi, the market that defines Bollywood records, Dhurandhar 2’s Day 4 still stands tall.
For now, Dhurandhar 2 remains the only Bollywood film with a ₹100 Cr+ nett day in Hindi.
