Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Crosses ₹1,000 Cr Worldwide, Surpasses Pathaan and Animal

Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana: Rise of a Legend has turned into a box-office phenomenon, crossing the ₹1,000-crore mark worldwide within just eight days of its theatrical release.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in pivotal roles, the film has amassed an estimated worldwide gross of ₹1,033.55 crore, emerging as the third-fastest Indian film to achieve the milestone. It is also the 11th Indian film to enter the coveted ₹1,000-crore club.

The film's domestic performance has been equally impressive. Its India net collection has reached ₹564.60 crore, while the gross collection stands at ₹675.05 crore. Overseas markets have contributed another ₹358.50 crore, underlining the film's strong international appeal.

In another major achievement, Ramayana has already surpassed the lifetime domestic collections of two major blockbusters - Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Ranbir Kapoor's own Animal. Both films had completed their theatrical runs with lower India net collections.

On its eighth day, November 12, the film collected ₹53.50 crore net in India, maintaining its strong theatrical run despite a decline from the previous day's ₹70.65 crore. The Hindi version remained the biggest contributor, accounting for ₹43 crore, while the Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil versions added to the total.

The film opened in theatres on November 5 and received a significant boost during the Diwali festive period, recording its biggest single-day collection of ₹107.50 crore on its fifth day.

Directed by Tiwari and produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, the two-part cinematic adaptation features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana. The film's large-scale visuals and ambitious presentation have attracted considerable audience attention, although adaptations of the revered epic have also sparked debate over creative interpretation.

With its first instalment already delivering a remarkable box-office performance, expectations are now building around the second chapter, scheduled for a Diwali 2028 release.
