The Monday number

Ramayana: Part 1 earned an estimated Rs 107.50 crore net in India on Monday, 9 November 2026, its fifth day in cinemas, according to early Sacnilk figures reported by The Economic Times and Filmibeat. The numbers come from 23,911 shows. It is the film's biggest single day so far, and it arrives on a working day after the Diwali weekend, which was the question trade watchers had been asking since Friday.

Our earlier report on 9 November had called Monday "the test". The first estimates suggest the film passed it.

How the day split by language

The Hindi version did most of the work with Rs 87.25 crore from 19,786 shows. The other versions added smaller but steady amounts:

  • Kannada: Rs 7.50 crore
  • Telugu: Rs 6 crore
  • Tamil: Rs 4 crore
  • Malayalam: Rs 2.75 crore

Adding Monday to the first four days, the film's India total stands at about Rs 346.35 crore net and Rs 413.90 crore gross, per The Economic Times and Filmibeat. After the opening weekend the net figure was Rs 238.85 crore.

Worldwide figure: sources differ

The Economic Times reports about Rs 25 crore from overseas markets on Monday, which takes the overseas gross to Rs 250 crore and the worldwide gross to Rs 663.90 crore. The Times of India, in a shorter report, says only that the film has gone past Rs 500 crore worldwide. These are not necessarily in conflict, but the worldwide number is an estimate and is likely to be revised when producers or distributors release official figures.

The record claim

The Economic Times says the film now holds the biggest Monday for an Indian film, ahead of Dhurandhar 2. The two outlets disagree on what that earlier benchmark was. The Economic Times puts Dhurandhar 2's first Monday at Rs 60 crore net, while Filmibeat says Rs 65 crore, and adds that Pushpa 2 made Rs 64.45 crore on its first Monday. On either count, Ramayana's Rs 107.50 crore is far ahead. Filmibeat also calls it the highest Day 5 for any Indian film and for any Hindi release.

These are trade estimates, not audited figures. Collections are usually adjusted in the following days.

What the audience is saying

Filmibeat notes that the film opened to a mixed response from audiences, yet the numbers have kept rising. The Times of India reports that filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor's father-in-law, told Variety India that he was moved to tears by the film, and that Alia Bhatt praised her husband's performance on social media. These are the reactions of family members, so they say little about the wider audience.

What comes next

Advance booking for Day 6, Tuesday, stands at Rs 34.62 crore from 8.92 lakh tickets, Filmibeat reports, with Rs 26.93 crore of that from Hindi shows. The first full week after Diwali will show how much of the Monday figure was holiday spill-over and how much is lasting demand. The next large test is the coming weekend.

The film is the first part of a two-part adaptation. The Times of India reports that Ramayana Part 2 is set for Diwali 2028. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, and is directed by Nitesh Tiwari.

All figures here are early industry estimates and may change. Kahaan Kya Hua will update this report when more reliable numbers come in.
