Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has reached a reported worldwide box office collection of Rs 934.55 crore within eight days of its release. Interestingly, the film’s biggest single-day collection so far came on its first Monday, rather than during the opening weekend.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and it grossed Rs 107.50 crore on the fifth day, significantly higher than its first-day collection of Rs 64.85 crore. Now that the film is in its second week, all eyes are set on whether it will be able to hit the Rs 1,000 crore mark globally.
On Thursday, November 12, the film’s eighth-day collection stood at an estimated Rs 12.56 crore net and Rs 14.82 crore gross in India, based on live box office figures reported by Zee Business. The estimates covered 10,231 shows nationwide and were not final figures for the day.
Hindi accounted for the largest share of Thursday’s reported earnings, contributing Rs 10.29 crore. Kannada followed with Rs 91 lakh, Telugu with Rs 72 lakh and Tamil with Rs 64 lakh.
The film’s cumulative India net collection has reached Rs 523.66 crore, while its domestic gross stands at Rs 625.87 crore. Its reported worldwide collection of Rs 934.55 crore places it Rs 65.45 crore short of the Rs 1,000 crore mark.
The opening week’s numbers also reveal an unusual pattern. After collecting Rs 64.85 crore on November 5, Ramayana: Part 1 earned Rs 48.05 crore on Friday, Rs 69.80 crore on Saturday and Rs 56.15 crore on Sunday.
Collections then climbed sharply to Rs 107.50 crore on Monday, before settling at Rs 94.10 crore on Tuesday and Rs 70.65 crore on Wednesday. Monday therefore remains the film’s highest-grossing day in the reported figures.
The latest eighth-day estimate is still provisional and cannot be treated as a complete day’s collection.
Ramayana: Part 1 features Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The ensemble cast also includes Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana, Arun Govil as Dasharatha and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi.
Based on Valmiki’s Ramayana, the film follows Prince Rama’s early life through the events leading to his 14-year exile. It is the first instalment of a two-part adaptation, with the sequel scheduled for Diwali 2027.
With its first week complete, the film’s next box office milestone is Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. Whether it reaches that figure during the second weekend will depend on collections over the coming days.
