Ramayana – Part I, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, has created yet another box office milestone. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological epic has crossed the coveted Rs. 1000 crore mark globally, taking its worldwide gross collections to a staggering Rs. 1010.60 crores. With this achievement, Ramayana has entered the Top 5 highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time worldwide, excluding China. Interestingly, when China collections are included, the film occupies the sixth position.
The distinction is particularly fascinating because China’s contribution to Bollywood’s worldwide box office rankings has historically been significant. Some films have generated extraordinary business in the Chinese market, resulting in substantially different rankings depending on whether those collections are included.
According to our all-time worldwide box office rankings excluding China, Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026) occupies the top position with Rs. 1852.44 crores gross, followed by Dhurandhar (2025) at Rs. 1350.83 crores. Jawan (2023) stands third with Rs. 1148.32 crores, while Pathaan (2023) occupies the fourth position with Rs. 1050.30 crores. With worldwide collections of Rs. 1010.60 crores, Ramayana has secured the fifth position, joining an elite club of Bollywood’s biggest global blockbusters.
Interestingly, the film now requires just Rs. 39.70 crores to match Pathaan’s worldwide lifetime collections and move closer to the fourth position.
The rankings change when collections from China are included.
In this list, Dangal (2016), starring Aamir Khan, occupies the top position with a phenomenal Rs. 1968.03 crores worldwide. Dhurandhar The Revenge follows at No. 2, while Dhurandhar, Jawan and Pathaan take the third, fourth and fifth positions respectively. As a result, Ramayana occupies the sixth position with Rs. 1010.60 crores.
