Ramayana worldwide box office collection day 2: Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash film overtakes Adipurush at over ₹221 crore

Nitesh Tiwari's Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash-starrer Ramayana had an opening lower than Om Raut and Prabhas' Adipurush.

Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 1 was released in theatres on November 5, receiving mixed reviews and decent box-office numbers. The film, which had a lower opening than Om Raut’s Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan-starrer Adipurush, seemed to recover on its second day. The Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash-starrer has now overtaken the previous Ramayana adaptation.

Ramayana grossed ₹127.50 crore on its opening day, compared to Adipurush's ₹128 crore, despite the latter not having as wide an opening as the Nitesh film. While the film saw a dip in collections in India on its second day, bringing in ₹48.05 crore net versus the ₹64.85 crore opening, the film managed to outpace Adipurush in worldwide collections.

Ramayana collected ₹35 crore from overseas on its second day, taking its overseas gross to ₹86.25 crore, according to the trade website Sacnilk. Adding to that, the ₹134.80 crore gross collection from India in two days takes its two-day worldwide haul to ₹221.05 crore. Adipurush had grossed ₹215.78 crore worldwide in two days. Ramayana, however, had a much wider release than Adipurush, with 23,316 shows in India alone, compared to 16,120 for the latter film.

Compared to other juggernauts, despite the difference in genre, Ramayana is lagging behind Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The Ranveer Singh-starrer had grossed ₹358.86 crore in two days. It is also behind Ranbir’s previous film, Animal, with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which grossed ₹236.01 crore in two days. But with the film now entering its first weekend, and Sunday being Diwali, it remains to be seen how much it collects before facing a weekday slump.
