After generating strong collections in the pre-Diwali period, “Ramayana: Rise of A Legend” is now witnessing a solid upward swing in ticket sales due to the beginning of festive holidays.
A few hours ago, the film sold over 140,000 tickets on BMS (BookMyShow) in 60 minutes and recorded the highest hourly sales on the ticketing platform, overtaking “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” (109.17K) and “Pushpa 2: The Rule” (107.65K).
Apart from these films, Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer “L2: Empuraan” achieved a milestone last year with 96.14K ticket sales, followed by Shah Rukh Khan’s 2023 blockbuster “Jawan,” which sold 86K tickets in an hour.
With the continuously rising momentum of “Ramayana,” the film is now on its way to earn its biggest single-day collection, surpassing its Saturday figures (₹69.80 crore).
By evening, it will become the sixth Indian film of 2026 to enter the ₹300 crore club after “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” (₹1,149.30 crore), “Jailer 2” (₹470.40 crore), “Drishyam: The Conclusion” (₹379.47 crore), “Hanuman Ansh” (₹342.77 crore) and “Border 2” (₹329.43 crore).
