Yash has added another box-office milestone to his career with Ramayana. The film opened to an estimated Rs 155 crore worldwide on Day 1, taking the actor’s tally of consecutive Rs 100 crore-plus openers to three. Before Ramayana, Yash achieved the feat with KGF: Chapter 2, which collected Rs 64 crore worldwide on its opening day, and Toxic, which reportedly earned Rs 140.75 crore worldwide. The numbers place the actor among the few Indian stars to deliver three consecutive films with worldwide openings above Rs 100 crore. Here’s a look at Yash’s box-office streak and how his latest release adds to it.
Yash Delivers Three Consecutive Rs 100 Crore-Plus Openers
Yash has built an impressive box-office record with three consecutive films opening to over Rs 100 crore worldwide. The streak began with KGF: Chapter 2, which registered a worldwide opening of Rs 164 crore. He followed it up with Toxic, which reportedly earned Rs 140.75 crore worldwide on its first day. Now, with Ramayana, the actor has continued the run, as the film opened to an estimated Rs 155 crore worldwide.
While the opening figures vary across the three films, the consistency is noteworthy. Yash has managed to attract audiences across different markets, with each release generating substantial theatrical interest. His latest film further adds to his growing record as a pan-India box-office draw.
Ramayana Opens To Rs 155 Crore Worldwide
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, Ramayana opened to an estimated ₹155 crore worldwide on its first day. The film also collected around Rs 33 crore from the South Indian markets. Its opening made it the biggest pre-Diwali opener in Indian cinema, setting a new benchmark for films releasing during the festive period.
For Yash, the opening is another significant addition to his box-office track record. His presence in the film has also drawn considerable attention, particularly given his portrayal of Ravana, one of the epic’s central characters.

From KGF 2 To Ramayana: Yash’s Growing Pan-India Appeal
Yash’s rise as a pan-India star gathered momentum with KGF: Chapter 2. The Kannada film found a massive audience beyond its home market, particularly in the Hindi belt, and established the actor as a major theatrical draw across India.
Toxic further added to his box-office record, while Ramayana sees him feature in one of the most ambitious Indian film projects. His journey from Kannada cinema to nationwide recognition reflects the expanding reach of regional stars and the growing appetite for films that connect with audiences across linguistic markets.
Apart from playing Ravana, Yash is also a producing partner on alongside Namit Malhotra. His involvement in the project extends beyond his acting role, marking another step in his journey as an actor-producer. His portrayal of Ravana has also become one of the film’s talking points. The character requires a balance of authority, intensity and complexity, giving Yash an opportunity to explore a challenging role on a much larger cinematic canvas.
With KGF: Chapter 2, Toxic and Ramayana, Yash has now delivered three consecutive worldwide openers above ₹100 crore. The numbers underline his box-office consistency and establish his position among the leading pan-India stars drawing audiences to theatres.
