Ramayana earns 507 crore rupees worldwide in just four days

The much-awaited mythological film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has created a unique box-office record by earning 507 crore rupees worldwide in just four days of release.

The mega project, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, was released simultaneously in cinemas around the world on 5 November. On its opening day it collected 128 crore rupees worldwide.

Ticket sales then surged sharply over the Saturday and Sunday of the Diwali holidays. Although the film started somewhat slowly, positive word of mouth from audiences and the festive holidays turned it around at remarkable speed over the weekend.

According to box-office figures, the film’s net earnings in the Indian domestic market in the first four days stood at 239 crore rupees, while its gross domestic earnings including tax reached 285 crore rupees.

From international markets, the film earned 23.7 million US dollars. Combining domestic and overseas collections, its worldwide gross in the first four days touched the 507-crore-rupee milestone.

With this, Nitesh Tiwari’s film has shattered the all-time earnings record of Prabhas’s Ramayana-based film Adipurush. Adipurush had earned a total of 393 crore rupees worldwide over its entire theatrical run; the Ranbir and Yash film crossed that in just four days.

The film is jointly produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, visual effects maker DNEG and actor Yash’s own production house, Monster Mind Creations.

Market analysts believe the film’s commercial dominance will continue through the post-Diwali holidays.

The makers have already announced that the second instalment of the two-part epic project is planned for release in cinemas at Diwali in 2028.
