Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has achieved a remarkable box office milestone, accumulating over ₹2,000 crore in cumulative worldwide gross for his films released in the post-pandemic era. This significant feat, tracked by Koimoi, firmly establishes his position among the industry's top-performing stars.
Kapoor's Ascent to the ₹2,000 Crore Club
Before the release of Namit Malhotra’s highly anticipated Ramayana: Part One, Kapoor’s four post-COVID films had already amassed ₹1,625.98 crore globally. The epic opening of Ramayana, which garnered an impressive ₹385.15 crore worldwide in just its first three days, propelled his total to ₹2,011.13 crore, securing his entry into this elite ₹2,000 crore club.
Key Post-Pandemic Releases and Earnings:
- Shamshera: ₹63.74 crore
- Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva: ₹430.24 crore
- Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar: ₹221.28 crore
- Animal: ₹910.72 crore
- Ramayana: ₹385.15 crore (first three days)
While Animal remains his highest-grossing post-pandemic film, Ramayana’s rapid success played a crucial role in accelerating his cumulative worldwide earnings.
Joining Bollywood's Box Office Titans
Ranbir Kapoor's entry into the ₹2,000 crore post-COVID worldwide gross club places him alongside other prominent Bollywood actors who have achieved similar success. These include Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Ajay Devgn, underscoring the significance of this individual achievement in a challenging market.
