'Ramayana: Part 1' continues to rake in the moolah at the box office. The momentum at the ticket counters remained remarkably strong on Wednesday as the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-led epic continued its impressive run on its first regular weekday, adding another Rs 70.65 crore nett in India, taking its domestic total to Rs 511.10 crore. The latest numbers put 'Ramayana' firmly among the fastest Hindi films to enter the Rs 500 crore club. More significantly, the film will soon race past the lifetime domestic collections of several major blockbusters, including 'Gadar 2', and 'Animal'.

'Ramayana' opened with Rs 64.85 crore on November 5, a number that appeared modest considering the scale of the production and the enormous expectations surrounding it. However, the film quickly found momentum, closing its opening weekend with Rs 239 crore nett.
Its biggest surge came after the weekend. With the benefit of the Govardhan Pooja and Bhai Dooj holidays, 'Ramayana' delivered two extraordinary days at the ticket window. Monday brought in Rs 107 crore, followed by another Rs 94 crore on Tuesday. Both figures rank among the biggest single-day collections recorded by an Indian film.

Wednesday was the first major test of the film's staying power without a major festive holiday supporting footfall. Yet, 'Ramayana' showed little sign of slowing down. Its Rs 70.65 crore Wednesday collection took its first week domestic haul beyond Rs 500 crore, underlining the film's strong audience pull beyond the extended Diwali period. Worldwide, the film has grossed Rs 934.55 crore and it is expected to breach the Rs 1000 crore mark on Thursday.
While the Hindi version initially accounted for the bulk of 'Ramayana's business, its dubbed releases have now started making a significant contribution. The film has crossed Rs 100 crore in combined net collections from its four dubbed versions in India, a landmark that makes it the first Hindi film to achieve the feat.
Crossing Rs 500 crore in India within its first week is a major achievement, but 'Ramayana' has an exceptionally high financial benchmark to meet. The film has been mounted on a reported budget of around Rs 1,600 crore.
Produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios in association with DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, 'Ramayana' is planned as the first installment of a two-part saga. Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita, Yash features as Ravana, while Ravie Dubey plays Lakshman.
The first chapter arrived in theatres worldwide on November 5, 2026. The second installment is scheduled to release during Diwali 2028.
