Ranbir Kapoor has added another major achievement to his career with the box office success of Ramayana – Part I. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological epic has crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India, making it the actor's third film to enter this prestigious box office club.
With this achievement, Ranbir has joined Ranveer Singh and Salman Khan as the only three Bollywood actors to have delivered three films each collecting more than ₹300 crore nett at the Indian box office, according to Bollywood Hungama's latest rankings.
The milestone is significant not only because of the number of successful films but also because of the variety of projects that have contributed to Ranbir's achievement. His three entries belong to different genres: a biographical drama, an intense action thriller and a large-scale mythological spectacle.
Ranbir Kapoor's Three Films in the ₹300 Crore Club
Ranbir Kapoor's three films in the ₹300 crore club are Sanju, Animal and Ramayana – Part I.
| Film | Release Year | India Nett Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Sanju | 2018 | ₹342.53 crore |
| Animal | 2023 | ₹556.36 crore |
| Ramayana – Part I | 2026 | ₹423.46 crore* |
The Ramayana figure is the reported collection as of November 10, 2026, according to Bollywood Hungama.
The first film to take Ranbir into this club was Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Released in 2018, the biographical drama featured Ranbir in the role of actor Sanjay Dutt. His performance received widespread attention, and the film went on to collect ₹342.53 crore nett in India.
Five years later, Ranbir delivered another major commercial success with Animal. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the 2023 action drama featured the actor in an intense and physically demanding role. The film collected ₹556.36 crore nett in India, becoming the highest-grossing film among his three entries in the club.
Now, Ramayana – Part I has added a mythological epic to his list of major box office successes.
Ramayana Becomes Ranbir's Fastest ₹300 Crore Film
One of the most notable aspects of this achievement is the speed at which Ramayana – Part I crossed the ₹300 crore mark.
According to Bollywood Hungama, Sanju took 16 days to reach the milestone, while Animal achieved it in six days. Ramayana – Part I entered the club in just five days, making it Ranbir's fastest film to reach this benchmark.
The film opened in theatres on November 5, 2026, and recorded a strong response during its initial days. Its festive release, large-scale presentation and popularity of the Ramayana story contributed to the strong theatrical performance.
By November 10, the film had collected ₹423.46 crore nett in India across all languages, according to Bollywood Hungama's reported figures. The total reflects its six-day performance and may change as its theatrical run continues.
Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Salman Khan Share the Top Position
Bollywood Hungama's actor-wise ₹300 crore club ranking places Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Salman Khan at the top, with three films each.
The ranking also includes Shah Rukh Khan, Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan, who have two films each in the club.
| Actor | Number of Films in ₹300 Crore Club |
|---|---|
| Ranveer Singh | 3 |
| Ranbir Kapoor | 3 |
| Salman Khan | 3 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | 2 |
| Sunny Deol | 2 |
| Aamir Khan | 2 |
Ranveer Singh's three entries include Padmaavat, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Salman Khan's films in the club include Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
Shah Rukh Khan has achieved the milestone with Pathaan and Jawan, while Sunny Deol's two entries include Gadar 2 and Border 2. Aamir Khan's films in the category are PK and Dangal.
These figures refer to domestic nett collections and the classification used by Bollywood Hungama. They should not be confused with worldwide gross collections, which include overseas earnings and taxes.
Ramayana's Success Adds a New Dimension to Ranbir's Career
The success of Ramayana – Part I is particularly interesting because it represents a different kind of cinematic project from Ranbir's earlier blockbusters.
Sanju was a character-driven biographical drama, while Animal explored an intense father-son relationship through an action-oriented narrative. Ramayana, on the other hand, brings a widely recognised Indian epic to the big screen with a large ensemble cast and ambitious visual presentation.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. Sunny Deol is also part of the cast as Lord Hanuman.
The film's commercial performance has strengthened Ranbir's position among Bollywood's leading box office performers. It also demonstrates his ability to attract audiences through projects that are very different in their themes, storytelling styles and characters.
What Lies Ahead for Ranbir Kapoor?
With three films in the ₹300 crore club, Ranbir has reached a milestone shared by only two other Bollywood actors in Bollywood Hungama's ranking. The achievement adds to a career that has seen him move between romantic dramas, comedies, biographical films, action thrillers and now mythology.
The theatrical journey of Ramayana – Part I is still continuing, so its final domestic collection remains to be seen. Its current performance, however, has already secured Ranbir's place in the three-film ₹300 crore club.
For the actor, the latest achievement is another important moment in a career that continues to combine diverse roles with major commercial successes.
