Ramayana Vs Varanasi - Which Will Be India's Biggest Film?

In 2026 and 2027, Indian cinema is set to witness two of its biggest films ever made – Ramayana and SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi. While both films are not releasing on the same date, the comparison is inevitable. Two massive visions, two completely different approaches, and one big question – which film will dominate the box office? Ramayana, backed by Namit Malhotra and directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is being made on a reported budget of around ₹4000 crore. With a global vision, international technicians, and a story rooted in Indian mythology, this film aims to take Indian storytelling to a worldwide level. On the other hand, SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, starring Mahesh Babu, is expected to be a high-budget adventure spectacle with a completely original story and unpredictable narrative, something Indian audiences haven’t seen before on this scale. In this video, we break down the comparison between Ramayana and Varanasi across 5 major factors – director experience, budget, predictability, casting, and track record. From Rajamouli’s proven success with Baahubali and RRR to Nitesh Tiwari’s massive achievement with Dangal, both films bring strong potential in different ways. Will Ramayana’s scale, mythology, and global appeal make it the highest-grossing Indian film ever? Or will SS Rajamouli once again deliver a blockbuster with Varanasi and win the box office game with profitability and impact? Watch till the end as we analyze everything in detail and give a final prediction on which film might win this race. #ramayana #rama #varanasi #ssrajamouli #bollywood #movie Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @popcornwithjagrit
