Ramayana has taken its BookMyShow record to a whole new level. On the post-Diwali Monday, the film hit a peak of 1,39,150 tickets (139.15K) sold in a single hour, the highest ever on the platform.
From 110K to 139K
Earlier this morning, Ramayana crossed 110K hourly sales to break Dhurandhar 2’s record. By 10:50 AM, it had climbed to 117.84K. Now, the peak has shot up to 139.15K, and it may go even higher as the day goes on.
Way Ahead of the Rest
The new peak puts Ramayana far ahead of every other film. It’s more than 30,000 tickets an hour above Dhurandhar 2, the previous record holder, and nearly 28% higher.

A Pan-India Top 10
The list shows how big films from across Indian cinema have driven record demand on BookMyShow. Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Tamil films all feature in the top 10.
Ranbir Kapoor now has two films on the list, Ramayana at No.1 and Animal at No.10.
Biggest Bollywood Day Loading
The record-breaking demand points to a massive day at the box office. Ramayana was already expected to cross ₹100 Cr gross in India on Monday, with over ₹60 Cr in advance bookings before the first shows. With hourly sales at this level, it’s now set for the biggest single day ever for a Bollywood film in India.
The Post-Diwali Explosion
After a start that fell short of expectations, Ramayana is now exploding at the box office, exactly as expected after Diwali. Strong word of mouth, a 9.3 rating on BookMyShow and the festival holidays have all come together.
With Tuesday expected to keep the momentum going, Ramayana’s real run has just begun.
