Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash starrer 'Ramayana: Part 1' has earned more than 221 crore rupees worldwide in its first two days of release. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, has dominated the box office from the very start.
On its opening day, the film earned 127.50 crore rupees worldwide. On the second day, 'Ramayana' earned 48.05 crore rupees net from 23,316 shows at the Indian box office. As a result, the film's total net collection in India has reached 112.90 crore rupees, while its worldwide total has touched 221.05 crore rupees. The figures come from Sacnilk's data.
The Hindi version contributed the most to the second day's earnings. On Friday, the Hindi version earned 35.50 crore rupees from nearly 20,000 shows.
In addition, the Kannada version earned 5.15 crore rupees, Telugu 4.75 crore, Tamil 1.50 crore and Malayalam 1.15 crore rupees.
On the second day, audience occupancy for the Hindi version's 3D shows was 28.46 percent, while for 2D shows it was 23.37 percent.
The film is also ahead in ticket sales. Around 4.3 million tickets for 'Ramayana' were sold in the first two days, including about 1.8 million on the second day alone.
Ticket sales are expected to rise further in the coming days because of the Diwali holiday.
The film is also doing well in international markets. On the second day, it earned 35 crore rupees from overseas markets, taking its two-day international total to 86.25 crore rupees.
Meanwhile, director Shankar has praised the film after watching it. Sharing his reaction on X, he described 'Ramayana' as an extraordinary visual spectacle, adding that he had never seen such visuals in Indian cinema before.
Shankar praised the film's VFX, filmmaking, music and sound design. He said Yash's performance particularly caught his attention, noting that he looked good in every scene and calling him a compelling villain. He also wished Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi well.
The two-part epic, produced by Namit Malhotra, was reportedly made on a total budget of around 4,000 crore rupees.
The first part's story ends after Sita's abduction and Jatayu's death. Ram vows to find Sita and reunite with her at any cost, setting the stage for the epic war of the second part.
Whether the film's earnings will grow further during the Diwali festive holiday is now the question to watch. With its business success in the first two days, 'Ramayana: Part 1' has already become the centre of discussion.
