Nitesh Tiwari's epic film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, has crossed Rs 663 crore in worldwide gross collections within five days of its release, recording a strong performance at the box office.
The film has earned Rs 413.90 crore in gross collections and Rs 346.35 crore in net collections in India, while its overseas gross earnings have reached Rs 250 crore.
On Monday, the film collected Rs 107.50 crore in India across 23,911 shows, marking its first Rs 100 crore-plus day since its release.
The Hindi version contributed the largest share, earning Rs 87.25 crore from 19,786 shows. The Kannada version collected Rs 7.50 crore from 908 shows, followed by Telugu at Rs 6 crore from 1,606 shows.
The Tamil version earned Rs 4 crore from 826 shows, while the Malayalam version contributed Rs 2.75 crore from 785 shows.
Ramayana opened with Rs 64.85 crore in India, followed by Rs 48.05 crore on Friday and Rs 69.80 crore on Saturday. Its collections declined to Rs 56.15 crore on Sunday across 21,770 shows.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had earlier predicted that the film's business would receive a major boost from Monday with the beginning of Diwali festivities.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, he said Saturday was the best-performing day of the extended weekend, while Sunday's collections slowed due to Lakshmi Puja and Diwali celebrations.
He expressed optimism about the film's prospects, citing strong advance bookings, positive audience feedback and the expected improvement in collections from mass-market circuits during the festivities.
In comparison, Prabhas-starrer Adipurush (2023) opened with Rs 86.75 crore in India, outperforming Ramayana on its opening day.
However, Ramayana recorded slightly higher collections than Adipurush on the third day. On its fifth day, Adipurush earned Rs 10 crore in net collections, while Ramayana crossed the Rs 100 crore mark.
Made on an estimated budget of Rs 4,000 crore, Ramayana is being described as one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film also features Sunny Deol, Ravi Dubey and Lara Dutta, among others.
The film received extensive international promotion, including a special screening in Los Angeles on October 27.
