Ramayana: Part One has finished its first week with ₹511.10 crore net at the Indian box office, according to figures from industry tracker Sacnilk reported by The Times of India and Mint. The Nitesh Tiwari film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, released on 5 November, just ahead of Diwali.
Day-wise collections in India
According to Sacnilk, the film opened with ₹64.85 crore net on Thursday, 5 November. Collections fell by roughly 25 per cent to ₹48 crore on Friday, then recovered to ₹69.80 crore on Saturday and ₹56.15 crore on Sunday.
The surprise came on Monday, 9 November, the Diwali and Lakshmi Puja holiday, when the film made ₹107.50 crore net, up about 91.5 per cent on Sunday. It was followed by ₹94.10 crore on Tuesday and ₹70.65 crore on Wednesday. The Wednesday number is a drop of about 24.9 per cent from Tuesday, which Mint attributes to the return of a normal working weekday.
Adding the seven days gives ₹511.10 crore net, or ₹611.05 crore gross, in India.
Worldwide numbers differ by source
Mint reports that the film's worldwide gross has reached ₹934.55 crore, including ₹323.50 crore from overseas markets, and says it has crossed the ₹900 crore mark. An earlier Times of India report, written before the final day was counted, put the worldwide figure at ₹673.90 crore at that point. Readers should note that worldwide totals are tracker estimates and change from outlet to outlet. Producers' own announced figures may differ.
Other trackers' reports also say the film has opened strongly overseas. These claims were not independently verified by this desk.
Language versions
The Hindi version leads in India, contributing ₹58 crore from 19,715 shows on day 7 at 43.3 per cent occupancy, according to Mint. Kannada added ₹4.50 crore, Tamil ₹2.65 crore, and Malayalam and Telugu ₹2.75 crore each. Occupancy was highest in Malayalam at 68 per cent, though with fewer shows. Over the week the film is reported to have played 1,66,476 shows and sold about 1.97 crore tickets.
How to read these numbers
Tracker figures are early estimates based on ticket sales data and are usually revised once distributors report final numbers. Net collection is what remains after taxes, while gross includes them, which is why the India gross is higher than the net.
The festive holidays matter a lot here. Diwali and the days around it lifted Monday and Tuesday sharply. Weekday discounts on tickets also help footfalls in the first week, as the Times of India report notes. Analysts will look to the second weekend to see how the film holds once the holiday boost fades.
What next
The film's second weekend begins on Friday, 13 November. Mint's report points to comparisons with earlier big earners such as Chhaava and Dhurandhar, with Ramayana already ahead of Chhaava on its worldwide total. A second instalment, Ramayana: Part Two, has been announced as part of the project, but no release date was confirmed in the reports we reviewed.
