Hyderabad: The Indian film industry is witnessing a massive transformation at the box office, with big-budget films rewriting records one after another. Gone are the days when entering the Rs 1000 crore club was considered a rare achievement. Today, some of the biggest Indian films are reaching the milestone within their first week.
The latest addition to this prestigious club is Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi’s Ramayana: Rise of a Legend, which has taken the box office by storm.
According to the latest trade estimates, the Nitesh Tiwari directorial crossed Rs 1000 crore worldwide in just eight days, becoming the third-fastest Indian film to achieve the feat.
But which movies are ahead of Ramayana? Let’s take a look at the five fastest Indian films to cross Rs 1000 crore worldwide.
1. Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024) – 7 days
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule created history in December 2024 by becoming one of the fastest Indian films to enter the Rs 1000 crore club. The Sukumar directorial reportedly achieved the milestone in seven days.
The film, also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, went on to become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
2. Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge (2026) – 7 days
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge matched Pushpa 2’s record by reportedly crossing Rs 1000 crore worldwide within seven days.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, the action thriller witnessed a phenomenal response from audiences and emerged as one of Bollywood’s biggest box office successes.
3. Ramayana: Rise of a Legend (2026) – 8 days
Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited mythological epic Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, has now joined the elite list.
The film reportedly collected over Rs 1033 crore worldwide by its eighth day, overtaking the pace set by several Indian blockbusters, including Baahubali 2 and RRR.
Interestingly, unlike the two films ahead of it, Ramayana is the first instalment of a new film series rather than a sequel to an established blockbuster.
4. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) – 10 days
Before Pushpa 2, Dhurandhar 2 and Ramayana, SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion had set a massive benchmark for Indian cinema.
Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film reportedly crossed Rs 1000 crore worldwide in just 10 days, becoming the first Indian movie to achieve the milestone during its initial theatrical run.
5. RRR (2022) – 16 days
Another SS Rajamouli blockbuster, RRR, starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, entered the Rs 1000 crore club within 16 days of its release.
The period action drama became a global phenomenon and further strengthened the international popularity of Indian cinema.
Indian cinema’s Rs 1000 crore race
With Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar 2 sharing the fastest reported seven-day record, and Ramayana following closely at eight days, the competition among India’s biggest blockbusters has reached another level.
As Ramayana continues its theatrical run, all eyes are now on how far the film can go and whether it can challenge the lifetime worldwide collections of the biggest Indian hits.
