Ranbir Kapoor–Yash’s Ramayana creates HISTORY; BEATS Dhurandhar 2 to record BIGGEST second Saturday EVER

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's mythological blockbuster, Ramayana – Part I, helmed by Nitesh Tiwari, has set another benchmark at the box office.By 8:30 PM on its second Saturday, November 14, the film amassed a colossal Rs.64.46 crores nett in combined revenue across all languages.This performance eclipsed that of Dhurandhar The Revenge, establishing it as the highest-grossing title in Indian cinema history for its second Saturday, according to the reported data.

Ranbir Kapoor and Yash's rendition of the Ramayana has made history, shattering records by surpassing Dhurandhar 2 to achieve the most substantial second Saturday ever.

Previously, Dhurandhar The Revenge held the benchmark with a nett collection of Rs.

60 crores achieved during its second Saturday.Ramayana has now decisively eclipsed that milestone, surpassing the figure by an additional Rs.4.46 crores, a performance bolstered by evening screenings that continue to drive daily receipts.What renders this accomplishment truly remarkable is that Ramayana is on the precipice of exceeding its own opening Saturday gross of Rs.67.80 crores.

Earlier this year, *Dhurandhar: The Revenge*, helmed by Aditya Dhar, set a formidable standard by amassing Rs.

60 crores in nett collections by its second Saturday.Ramayana has now surpassed that milestone, having already accrued Rs.64.46 crores by 8:30 PM.This achievement represents a significant advance over *Dhurandhar*, with the Ranbir Kapoor–Yash vehicle edging out its predecessor by approximately 7.43% to establish a new benchmark for second-Saturday gross.Furthermore, this figure is not definitive; as night shows remain unaccounted for, Ramayana retains the potential to extend its lead even further.This accomplishment stands out all the more significantly given that the film has already enjoyed nine days in theatrical release and garnered exceptional box office revenues during the post-Diwali period.

An intriguing trend emerges as *Ramayana* appears poised to surpass its opening Saturday performance with its second weekend.

The film garnered a net total of Rs.67.80 crores on Saturday, November 7, marking its third day in theaters.By 8:30 PM on the following Saturday, exactly one week later, it had already accumulated Rs.64.46 crores, thereby requiring only an additional Rs.3.34 crores to equate its output to the inaugural Saturday's collection.Consequently, *Ramayana* has already realized approximately 95% of its first Saturday's total revenue prior to the conclusion of its second day.Should the evening screenings meet the necessary targets, the film will accomplish the remarkable anomaly of generating a higher gross on its second Saturday than it did on its first.

This phenomenon would be especially noteworthy, given that the majority of significant releases typically experience a contraction in box office receipts during their second weekend relative to their opening frame.
