Ramayana makes history in South India, beats Dhurandhar 2's record in nine days

Many wondered how Ramayana would perform at the box office. The casting, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Ram and Sai Pallavi portraying Sita, drew considerable trolling. However, when Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana arrived in theatres during Diwali week on November 5, it scripted a new chapter in Hindi cinema history.

The film became the first Bollywood release to earn Rs 100 crore or more worldwide every day for an entire week. Now, Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana has achieved another major milestone, setting a record that no other Hindi



film has reportedly managed before.

According to Sacnilk, Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has collected Rs 139.20 crore across four South Indian languages: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, within nine days.

With this, Ramayana has reportedly become the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 100-crore mark across these four markets combined. The previous record was held by Dhurandhar 2, which reportedly earned Rs 68 crore across the same four languages during its lifetime theatrical run.
