Ramayana beats Dhurandhar 2, Pushpa 2 with 1.11 lakh BookMyShow tickets in an hour

Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has set a new record during the extended Diwali holiday, registering 1,11,830 ticket sales on BookMyShow within an hour on its fifth day in cinemas. The Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer surpassed the previous hourly benchmarks set by Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 and Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 despite entering theatres with considerably lower advance bookings than both films for its opening day.

The surge followed a strong Diwali Sunday, when Ramayana collected Rs 56.15 crore nett in India, breaking the Diwali jink at the Indian box office. Its four-day India nett collection reached Rs 238.85 crore, while its worldwide gross stood at Rs 499.20 crore, leaving it just short of the Rs 500-crore mark in four



days.

According to the latest BookMyShow tracking reported by the trade website Sacnilk, Ramayana became the first film to cross 1.10 lakh ticket sales within an hour on Monday, November 9, in the available records since August 2023. Its peak of 1,11,830 tickets placed it ahead of Dhurandhar 2, which recorded 1,09,170, and Pushpa 2, which reached 1,07,650.

Dhurandhar 2 had previously overtaken Pushpa 2 during its opening-day booking rush in March 2026. Does this mean that Ramayana has surpassed Dhurandhar 2 in the overall Book My Show booking? No, there's a difference. While Dhurandhar 2 remains substantially ahead in cumulative BookMyShow bookings, Ramayana has now registered the highest immediate hourly demand among the three films.
