Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana: Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash and Sai Pallavi, has crossed the ₹220 crore mark at the worldwide box office within two days of its theatrical release. The film, which arrived in cinemas on November 5, has recorded a worldwide gross collection of ₹221.05 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.
The film opened with ₹127.50 crore worldwide on its first day. On Friday, November 6, it collected ₹48.05 crore net in India, taking its two-day domestic net collection to ₹112.90 crore. Its India gross stood at ₹134.80 crore, while overseas collections reached ₹86.25 crore.
Hindi Version Leads Domestic Collections
The Hindi version continued to account for the largest share of the film’s domestic earnings. It collected ₹35.50 crore on Day 2 across 19,859 shows. The Kannada version contributed ₹5.15 crore, followed by Telugu at ₹4.75 crore. Tamil and Malayalam versions collected ₹1.50 crore and ₹1.15 crore, respectively.
Despite crossing the ₹200 crore worldwide milestone, the film recorded a decline in domestic net collections on its second day compared with its ₹64.85 crore opening-day figure. Its performance over the remaining festive weekend will be important in determining its box-office momentum.
Shankar Praises the Film
’s Visuals
The film has also drawn attention from filmmaker Shankar, who praised its visual presentation. In a review shared after watching the film, the Indian 2 director said he had never seen visuals like these, recognising the scale of the production and its visual effects.
The appreciation adds to the conversation around the film’s technical execution, which has been a major focus given the scale of the two-part adaptation.
A Two-Part Cinematic Adaptation
Produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana is planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic. The combined reported budget of the two instalments is around ₹4,000 crore.
Ranbir Kapoor plays Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi portrays Sita and Yash appears as Ravana. Ravi Dubey plays Lakshman. The first instalment concludes after Sita’s abduction and Jatayu’s death, setting up the conflict that is expected to unfold in the second part, scheduled for Diwali 2028.
With its opening two-day worldwide collection crossing ₹220 crore, the film has made a significant start at the box office. Its ability to sustain audience interest through the festive period will shape its next phase of theatrical performance.
