Ramayana Part 1 released in theatres on November 5. The Nitesh Tiwari film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Yash as Ravana. Even with the Diwali festivities behind it, the film showed no signs of slowing down at the box office as theatres returned to regular weekday schedules. Ramayana has surpassed the lifetime collection of big-budget blockbusters such as Animal and Pathaan.
Ramayana box office update
Ramayana began with houseful shows on day 1, netting ₹64.85 crore net in India on its opening day. The figure was low given the film’s scale, but it was still the fourth-highest opening in Bollywood history. But the film recovered mightily on Monday and Tuesday, when the Ranbir Kapoor and Yash-starrer went on to shatter records. The film earned ₹107 crore net on Monday and ₹94 crore net on Tuesday, both the highest in Indian cinema history. Before Ramayana, the record for the biggest Monday on a holiday belonged to Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, which earned ₹58 crore on its first Monday, the day of Diwali 2023.
Ramayana entered the elite 500-crore club on Wednesday. The latest update on Sacnilk states that Ramayana collected ₹53.55 crore on Thursday, bringing the net earnings to ₹564.65 crore. It has now surpassed the lifetime hauls of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan (which stood at ₹544.28 crore) and Ranbir Kapoor's previous theatrical release Animal (which stood at ₹556.36 crore).
