Rocking Star Yash is celebrating another major box office milestone with Ramayana. The Nitesh Tiwari-directed mythological epic has crossed the coveted Rs. 1,000 crore mark worldwide, making it Yash’s second film to achieve this remarkable feat after KGF: Chapter 2. With this, Yash has once again created history at the global box office, further cementing his position as one of India’s biggest theatrical stars.
Yash’s previous blockbuster, KGF: Chapter 2, had created history with a lifetime worldwide collection of approximately Rs. 1,215 crores, establishing itself as one of the biggest Indian films ever. With Ramayana, Yash is once again making a strong mark at the box office, with his portrayal of Ravana emerging as one of the film’s major highlights. His commanding screen presence and performance in the iconic role have added to the film’s appeal, further showcasing his versatility as an actor. As the film progresses towards the Rs. 1,000 crore milestone, Yash continues to strengthen his position as one of India’s biggest theatrical stars.
The film is also setting new benchmarks in international markets, including the UK, Thailand and Indonesia, expanding Yash’s reach into newer territories. Its performance in the South has been equally remarkable, with the Kannada-dubbed version becoming the first dubbed film to cross Rs. 50 crore at the box office.
Yash’s vision of bringing India together through cinema and taking Indian stories to a global audience further reflects his standing as a true-blue Indian star, whose ambitions extend beyond regional and linguistic boundaries. At a pre-release event, he had emphasised this very thought, saying, “This Ramayana is in all our blood. So, when making this film, this is not a work that can happen from just any one film industry. The entire Indian film industry must come together.” As Ramayana crosses the Rs. 1,000 crore milestone, it stands as another significant step towards the larger vision he has championed for Indian cinema on the global stage.
What makes this achievement particularly significant is the exclusive company Yash is set to join. Only a handful of Indian stars have delivered multiple films in the Rs. 1,000 crore-plus worldwide club. Shah Rukh Khan achieved this with Pathaan and Jawan, Prabhas with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Kalki 2898 AD, while Ranveer Singh has achieved the milestone with Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2. With Ramayana crossing the landmark, Yash joins this distinguished league, adding another significant chapter to his remarkable box office journey.
