Ramayana: Part 1 has crossed ₹800 crore at the worldwide box office in just six days, earning ₹823.50 crore globally — and with a festival holiday today, the film is now chasing the ₹1,000 crore mark.
Key Points
- Ramayana box office 823 crore — the film has earned ₹823.50 crore worldwide in six days, including ₹440.45 crore nett in India.
- Tuesday’s collection of ₹94.10 crore nett was 12.5% lower than Monday’s record ₹107.50 crore, but still the strongest Tuesday ever for an Indian film.
- The film has grossed more than ₹100 crore worldwide on every day since release — six days in a row, a record for an Indian film.
- Wednesday is Bhai Dooj, a holiday in much of India, and advance bookings of ₹31.80 crore suggest another huge day.
The film collected ₹94.10 crore nett in India on Tuesday, its sixth day in theatres, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Its India gross has now reached ₹526.50 crore, while overseas collections stand at ₹297 crore after a ₹35 crore Tuesday. The Hindi version continued to lead the domestic box office, contributing ₹76 crore on Tuesday. The film played in 24,344 shows across India, with overall occupancy of 55.3%.
Monday was the big surprise — a record ₹107.50 crore, the highest Monday ever for an Indian film — and Tuesday was the real test: whether the film would hold on a normal weekday or fall. A 12.5% drop on a working Tuesday is, by the standards of Indian cinema, a hold rather than a fall. Trade estimates vary slightly by tracker — Pinkvilla puts Tuesday at about ₹92 crore and the six-day India nett total at about ₹435 crore — but every tracker agrees on the shape of the run: no Indian film has ever sustained this pace for six days.
The road to ₹1,000 crore
Wednesday, 11 November, is Bhai Dooj, a holiday in much of India, and the film’s seventh day could be another record. Advance booking for the day was already at ₹31.80 crore gross including blocked seats, and the film needs ₹176.50 crore more worldwide to reach ₹1,000 crore — a target that looked distant a week ago and now looks reachable within days.
The overseas run is breaking records of its own. In North America, Ramayana grossed $1.37 million on its first Monday, the highest first-Monday collection ever for an Indian film in the territory, and overseas collections have now crossed $30 million in six and a half days — faster than Pathaan, which took eight days in 2023. The film has grossed more than ₹100 crore worldwide on every single day since its release.
A record run on a record budget
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Yash as Ravana and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Ramayana: Rise of a Legend is the first instalment of a planned two-part series, produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios with Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. Made on a reported budget of ₹4,000 crore, it has already become the third-highest-grossing Indian film of 2026 worldwide.
The second instalment is scheduled to arrive during Diwali 2028. If the first part keeps its current pace through the weekend, the question will no longer be whether it reaches ₹1,000 crore, but how far past it the epic can go.
