Ranbir Kapoor’s much-anticipated film Ramayana: Part One is enjoying a remarkable run at the worldwide box office. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the mythological epic has crossed the ₹1,200 crore mark globally within just 10 days of its theatrical release. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash in leading roles, the film has attracted audiences across India and international markets, establishing itself as one of the biggest box office successes of 2026.
According to box office estimates reported by trade tracker Sacnilk, Ramayana had collected approximately ₹1,228 crore in worldwide gross revenue by the end of its 10th day in theaters. This includes approximately ₹819.50 crore in gross collections from the Indian market and ₹408.50 crore from overseas territories. The film’s domestic net collection stood at ₹685.60 crore during the same period.
The film was released worldwide on November 5, 2026. It reached the ₹1,200 crore milestone faster than many major Indian releases, demonstrating the strong audience interest surrounding this ambitious adaptation of the Hindu epic. As the movie entered its 11th day on Sunday, November 15, it continued to attract moviegoers, with its second weekend providing another major boost to its box office performance.
Ramayana Box Office Collection: Day 10 Performance
One of the biggest highlights of Ramayana’s theatrical run came on its second Saturday. After collecting approximately ₹48.10 crore net in India on Day 9, the film registered a substantial improvement on Day 10, earning approximately ₹72.90 crore net across 23,451 shows, according to trade estimates.
This represented a growth of around 51.6% compared with the previous day’s collection. The strong Saturday performance helped the film take its cumulative domestic net earnings to ₹685.60 crore.
The Hindi version remained the biggest contributor to the film’s Indian box office performance. On Day 10 alone, the Hindi version earned approximately ₹53.75 crore, while the Kannada version contributed ₹5.40 crore. The Tamil and Malayalam versions collected approximately ₹4.75 crore each, followed by the Telugu version with ₹4.25 crore.
Here is the reported day-wise India net collection of the film:
| Day | India Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | ₹64.85 crore |
| Day 2 | ₹48.05 crore |
| Day 3 | ₹69.80 crore |
| Day 4 | ₹56.15 crore |
| Day 5 | ₹107.50 crore |
| Day 6 | ₹94.10 crore |
| Day 7 | ₹70.65 crore |
| Day 8 | ₹53.50 crore |
| Day 9 | ₹48.10 crore |
| Day 10 | ₹72.90 crore |
| Total (10 Days) | ₹685.60 crore |
The film’s fifth day was particularly impressive, with collections reaching ₹107.50 crore. It was the strongest single-day performance during its first 10 days in theaters. The movie also maintained healthy collections throughout its opening period, despite the usual fluctuations in weekday and weekend attendance.
India and Overseas Collections: How Ramayana Reached ₹1,228 Crore
Ramayana’s worldwide success has been driven by a combination of strong domestic performance and substantial overseas business. While the Indian market contributed approximately ₹819.50 crore in gross revenue, international markets added another ₹408.50 crore.
Overseas earnings accounted for approximately one-third of the film’s reported worldwide gross, highlighting its appeal beyond the Indian audience. The film’s international performance has been supported by interest in Indian mythology, the popularity of its leading actors and its large-scale cinematic presentation.
It is important to distinguish between net and gross collections when comparing box office figures. The ₹685.60 crore figure represents India’s estimated net collection, while the ₹819.50 crore domestic figure includes applicable taxes. The overseas gross is then added to the Indian gross to calculate the worldwide total of approximately ₹1,228 crore.
These figures are trade estimates and may be revised as additional theatrical and international market data becomes available. The worldwide total of ₹1,228 crore represents the reported 10-day figure, rather than a finalized 11-day worldwide total.
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash Lead the Star-Studded Cast
One of the major attractions of Ramayana is its ensemble cast. Ranbir Kapoor portrays Lord Rama, while Sai Pallavi plays Goddess Sita. Kannada superstar Yash appears as Ravana, bringing another major star attraction to the production.
The film also features Ravi Dubey as Lakshman and Sunny Deol in the role of Lord Hanuman. Arun Govil appears as King Dasharath, while Lara Dutta portrays Kaikeyi. The combination of established Bollywood performers and popular regional cinema stars has helped the film generate considerable attention across different language markets.
Nitesh Tiwari, known for directing films such as Dangal and Chhichhore, has taken on the responsibility of bringing one of India’s most widely recognized epics to the big screen. The scale of the project, its visual presentation and the casting of prominent actors have made it one of the most closely watched Indian film productions of recent years.
A Two-Part Cinematic Adaptation of the Ramayana
Ramayana is planned as a two-part cinematic adaptation inspired by the ancient epic traditionally attributed to Valmiki. The first installment follows the early journey of Lord Rama, including his life in Ayodhya, his marriage to Sita, his exile and the events leading to Ravana’s abduction of Sita. The story establishes the central conflict that will continue in the second installment.
The project is produced by Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios in collaboration with DNEG and Yash’s Monster Mind Creations. The production brings together filmmaking, visual effects and international technical talent to present the epic on a large cinematic scale.
Another notable aspect of the production is its music collaboration. A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer have worked together on the film’s musical score, adding an international dimension to the project’s creative ambitions. The production has also involved experienced international action and performance specialists to support its large-scale sequences.
The second installment is scheduled for a Diwali 2028 theatrical release. It is expected to continue the story of Rama’s mission to rescue Sita, with the conflict against Ravana becoming central to the next chapter.
Can Ramayana Continue Its Record-Breaking Box Office Run?
After crossing ₹1,200 crore worldwide in its first 10 days, the next challenge for Ramayana will be maintaining its momentum during the second week and beyond. Its strong Saturday growth suggests that the film continues to attract audiences, but its longer-term performance will depend on weekday collections, audience retention, theater occupancy and competition from other releases.
The film’s performance in overseas markets will also remain important as it attempts to increase its worldwide total. With approximately ₹408.50 crore already coming from international territories, the overseas market has become a significant part of its box office success.
For Ranbir Kapoor, the film represents another major milestone in his career, while its commercial performance gives the two-part adaptation a strong opening chapter. However, the real test will be whether Ramayana can maintain its audience interest over the coming weeks and build on its impressive start.
For now, crossing ₹1,200 crore worldwide within just 10 days places Ramayana among the biggest Indian theatrical successes of the year. With its second weekend underway and the next installment planned for 2028, the film’s box office journey remains one of the most closely followed stories in Indian cinema.
