As expected, Ramayana is exploding at the box office after Diwali. On the post-Diwali Monday, the film has set an all-time record on BookMyShow, and it’s heading for the biggest day ever for a Bollywood film in India.
All-Time BookMyShow Record
Ramayana first crossed an hourly peak of 110K tickets on BookMyShow this morning, breaking the previous record held by Dhurandhar 2 (109K+).
And it didn’t stop there. At 10:50 AM, the film hit an even bigger peak, with 1,17,840 tickets (117.84K) booked in just one hour.
- Ramayana: 117.84K (at 10:50 AM)
- Dhurandhar 2: 109K+
That puts Ramayana nearly 9,000 tickets an hour ahead of the previous record.
Rated 9.3 by Audiences
The demand matches the audience response. Ramayana has a rating of 9.3 out of 10 on BookMyShow from over 1.55 lakh votes, a sign of very strong word of mouth.
Biggest Bollywood Day Ever Loading
With bookings running at record speed, Ramayana is set to post the biggest single day ever for a Bollywood film at the Indian box office today.
The film was already expected to cross ₹100 Cr gross in India on Monday, with over ₹60 Cr in advance bookings even before the first shows. The record-breaking hourly sales now suggest it could go much bigger.
The Post-Diwali Boom
The post-Diwali Monday is traditionally one of the biggest box office days of the year, especially in the Hindi belts. Families who celebrated at home on Diwali head to theatres the next day, and Ramayana is getting the full benefit.
The Turnaround Is Here
After a start that fell short of expectations, Ramayana is now showing exactly the kind of momentum it needed. With strong word of mouth and record-breaking demand, the film’s real run has begun, and Tuesday is expected to continue the same momentum.
