Prabhas's Spirit eyes Diwali 2027 box office crown
25 Oct
Summary
- Prabhas's 'Spirit' set for Diwali 2027 release date.
- Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayana' to challenge Diwali box office records.
- 'Spirit' aims to surpass Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' opening record.
The Diwali box office landscape is set for a significant shift as Prabhas's mass cop entertainer, 'Spirit,' gears up for a theatrical release on October 29, 2027. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film is anticipated to challenge Salman Khan's long-standing dominance over the festive release window.
Salman Khan has historically held strong Diwali box office records with films like 'Tiger 3' (44.50 crore) and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (40.35 crore). However, this upcoming Diwali season sees increasing competition. Ranbir Kapoor's 'Ramayana,' directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is set to release on November 5, 2026, with early projections indicating a massive opening that is expected to push 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' out of the top five Diwali openers.
'Spirit' is now positioned to potentially unseat Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' from the top five list. Prabhas's immense pan-India appeal, bolstered by films like 'Baahubali 2' and 'Salaar,' combined with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's reputation for creating intense cinematic experiences, provides 'Spirit' with a strong foundation for a record-breaking opening. The clash for Diwali supremacy in 2027 between Prabhas's 'Spirit' and Salman Khan's existing records promises to be a major box office narrative.
Currently, the top Diwali openers in Bollywood include 'Thugs Of Hindostan' (50.75 crore), 'Happy New Year' (44.97 crore), 'Tiger 3' (44.50 crore), 'Singham Again' (43.70 crore), and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (40.35 crore). The upcoming releases are poised to dramatically alter this list.
